Aluminum Fittings for Pipes

What is marine tube fitting

Marine pipe fittings are special parts used for connection, control, support and sealing in the ship piping system. Their design must meet the requirements of the special environment of the ship (such as vibration, corrosion, space limitations, etc.).

What are advantages of fittings aluminum

Aluminum tube fittings significantly improve the reliability and economy of the ship piping system through corrosion resistance, light weight, high strength and easy maintenance. Its comprehensive advantages make it an ideal choice for marine engineering, chemical ships and high-end yachts. Especially in the pursuit of safety, energy saving and environmental protection in modern ship design, the application prospects of aluminum fittings are broader.

Types of aluminum pipe fitting

Aluminum flanges

Marine aluminum flanges are flanges used on ships. They are parts that connect pipes to each other and are connected to the ends of pipes. There are holes on the flanges for bolts to connect the two flanges tightly, and the flanges are sealed with gaskets. There are mainly the following types: aluminum blind flanges, aluminum plate flanges, aluminum slip on flange, aluminum socket weld flange, aluminum threaded flange, aluminum weld neck flanges.

Aluminium pipe end caps

They are parts made of aluminum alloy and used to close or protect the ends of aluminum pipes. Their functions mainly include the following aspects: sealing protection, protecting pipes, easy identification, beautiful decoration, and supporting pipes. They can be made by extrusion or cutting, and there are many specifications and models to suit different sizes and types of pipes.

Aluminium tee section

Aluminium tees are a type of aluminum alloy pipe fittings used in ship piping systems. They usually have three connection ports and are used to connect three different pipes. Their main functions are as follows: connecting pipelines, changing flow direction, splitting and converging, regulating flow, and balancing pressure. Aluminum tees can be of three types: straight, equal-diameter elbow, and reducer.

Aluminum pipe elbows

It is an aluminum alloy pipe fitting used to change the direction of the pipeline in the ship's pipeline system. It is generally made of corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, such as 6061, 6063, 5083 and other aluminum alloys. It has various specifications and sizes to adapt to ship pipelines of different diameters. Common angles include 45°, 90° and 180°, etc., which can be selected according to the specific layout and direction requirements of the ship's pipelines.

Aluminum reducer

Marine aluminum reducers are pipe fittings used in ship piping systems to connect pipes of different diameters. Their function is to achieve a smooth transition between pipes of different diameters to meet the needs of various fluid delivery systems on ships, such as fuel, seawater, fresh water, compressed air and other systems. There are two types of marine reducers: concentric reducers and eccentric reducers.
