Role of pipe fittings in industries
Threaded fittings represent an important sector within the hydraulic world because they constitute, as the name implies, fundamental elements for connecting pipes and systems, allowing the creation of optimized paths according to specific needs. In particular, the fittings can have two main types based on the position of the threads: Fittings with external threads: they are also called "male" threads; Fittings with internal threads: they are also called "female" threads. Furthermore, it is important to underline that there are, in addition to the homogeneous fittings that consist of the same type of thread ("male-male" or "female-female"), fittings that have an external thread on one side and a thread on the other. Finally, there is also the possibility that the diameter and size of the threads are different when different pipes are connected. A change of section is required before and after the fitting to obtain a reduction or an increase in t
