Stub end is a type of pipe fitting, the pipe fitting has a stub or a piece of pipe with an outward flare on one side. It is usually used in conjunction with lap joint flanges for connection in pipeline systems. Stub end can be divided into long pattern and short pattern according to their different shape. Stub is a ideal choice to replace butt welded flange when the pipeline requires flexible installation and disassembly.
The types of Stub End
Stub end can be divided into long pattern and short pattern according to their different shape.
1. Long pattern stub end: Compared with the pipe that it is connected, long pattern stub end has a longer length. This design makes it easy to alignment and welding for lap joint flange. It is suitable for applications where frequent disassembly is required.
2. Short pattern stub end: The length of short pattern stub end is similar to the pipe that it is connected. It is usually used for slip-on flanges. The short pattern stub end is suitable for applications where space is limited, and the flange needs to be close to the end of the pipe.
Applications of Stub End
Stub end is designed to be welded to the pipe or lap joint flange, providing a secure and leak-proof joint. Stub end usually acts as a sleeve that slips over the pipe or lap joint flange. This unique design makes it easy to disassembly of the joint when needed.
