The main differences between socket welded fittings and threaded fittings are the connection method, application scenarios, installation process, and scope of application.
1. Connection method:
Socket welding fittings adopt socket connection method, which has the advantages of easy installation, fast speed, good centering, and good sealing performance. It is suitable for pipeline installation in water supply and drainage, gas, petroleum, chemical and other fields. The socket connection method allows for a tighter connection between pipes, thereby improving overall sealing and durability.
Threaded fittings use threaded connections, which are generally used in galvanized high-pressure pipelines, especially when pipelines require threaded connections, such as those below DN50. Threaded connections are suitable for situations that require frequent disassembly and maintenance, or when pipeline materials do not allow welding, such as certain pipelines that require a smooth surface.
2. Application scenarios:
Due to its unique connection method and excellent sealing performance, socket welding fittings are mainly used in applications that require high sealing performance, such as petroleum, chemical, shipbuilding, food and other industries. These industries typically have high requirements for the stability and safety of pipelines.
Due to its detachable nature, threaded fittings are more suitable for situations that require frequent disassembly and maintenance, or for use when welding is not allowed in pipeline materials, such as certain pipelines that require a smooth surface.
3. Scope of application:
Due to its excellent sealing performance and pressure resistance, socket welding fittings are suitable for outdoor public places and indoor exposed and concealed installations, especially for embedded walls, pipeline wells and other occasions.
Threaded fittings, due to their detachable nature, are suitable for situations that require frequent disassembly and maintenance.
In summary, the main differences between socket welded fittings and threaded fittings lie in their connection method, application scenarios, installation process, and scope of application. The choice of pipe fittings depends on specific usage requirements and environmental conditions.
