Fabricated Pipes & Fittings

Fabricated Pipes

A fabricated pipe is a pipe that has been made by joining piping components, such as elbows, flanges, tees, and pipes, together to create an engineered piping system.

The process of fabricating pipes is known as pipe fabrication, and it involves: 

  • Cutting, beveling, and welding: These steps are done in accordance with the design documents.

  • ​Planning, scheduling, and execution: Pipe fabrication is a complex process that requires high precision, and needs to be planned and executed well to ensure quality  and system integrity.

  • Using robotics: Some companies use robotic technology for cutting and welding to ensure dimensional tolerance system integrity.

Fabricated pipes are used for a variety of purposes, including: 

  • Transportation

Fabricated pipes are used to transport oil, gas, water, and other substances.

​

  • Power generation

Fabricated pipes are used to carry water, steam, and other fluids in power plants. 

​

  • Chemical processing

Fabricated pipes are used to transport corrosive substances in chemical plants. 

​

  • Water supply

Fabricated pipes are used to deliver clean water to homes and businesses.

​

  • Construction

Fabricated pipes are used in the construction of bridges, buildings, and other infrastructure.

​

  • Art

Fabricated pipes can be used to add a unique character to architectural spaces.

Fabricated Fittings

A fabricated fitting is a custom-made pipe fitting that is used to connect sections of pipes. Fabricated fittings are often used for applications that require a larger diameter or less common fittings, and are typically made from sections of pipe or other parts.

Fabricated fittings are made using a variety of processes, including:

  • Welding

  • Cutting

  • Bending existing PVC parts and pipe

  • Butt welding

  • Extrusion

  • Molding

Fabricated fittings are often more expensive than standard parts, but they can be more cost-effective than creating a mold. They are also more time consuming and tedious to produce.

Some advantages of fabricated fittings include:

  • Strength and durability: They can withstand fluctuations in pressure and temperature.

  • Exact fit: They ensure that the connection is secure and reliable.

  • Corrosion resistance: They are ideal for use in areas with high levels of salt water or other corrosive elements.
