Plumbing Industry History
Plumbing is any system that carries fluids for a wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids. Heating and cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but they are not limited to these applications. Plumbing originated during […]
Read moreWorking as a Pipefitter in North America
A pipefitter is an artisan who installs, assembles, manufactures, maintains, and repairs mechanical piping systems. Pipefitters usually start as helpers or apprentices. The companion pipefitters deal with industrial/commercial/marine piping and heating/cooling systems. The typical industrial process pipe is under high pressure, requiring metals such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and many different metals fused together […]

What are Valves in Engineering? Valves are devices in fluid or gas processing systems used to control, regulate, or direct the flow of the medium by opening and closing pipelines. They can stop or start the flow, vary the amount of flow, control the flow direction, regulate the downstream system or process pressure, and relieve […]
Read moreMaintenance of the Sanitary Pump
The review of sanitary pump repair records and MTBF is of great importance to responsible and conscientious pump users. For convenience, these failure statistics are often translated into MTBF (in this case, the installed lifetime before the failure). Unplanned maintenance is often one of the most important property costs, and failures of mechanical seals and […]
Read moreWhat is a Sanitary Tee?
What are Sanitary Tees? Sanitary tees are t-shaped sanitary pipe fittings used in the branch pipe of the main pipeline. Under normal use, sanitary tees connect a branch line to a vertical drain line or vent line. Sanitary tees can be made with a consistent diameter or different diameters to connect to pipes or valves […]
Read moreSanitary Pump Overview
A pump is a device that moves fluids by mechanical action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps. Pumps operate by some mechanism and consume energy to perform mechanical work by moving the fluid. Pumps run through many […]

What Are Sanitary Fittings? Flange fittings are generally used for connections to valves, inline instruments, or equipment nozzles. Two surfaces are joined tightly together with threaded bolts, wedges, clamps, or other means of applying high compressive force. Although a gasket, packing, or O-ring may be installed between the flanges to prevent leakage, it is sometimes […]

What is a Sanitary Elbow? A sanitary elbow is a kind of sanitary fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tubing to allow a change of direction. While these corner fittings are usually a 90° or 45° angle, 22.5° elbows are also available. The ends may be machined for butt welding, threaded, or socketed. […]

A valve is a device that regulates the flow of a fluid (gases, fluidized solids, slurries, or liquids) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. The majority of valves are used in water reticulation, sewerage, oil and gas, power generation, mining, and chemical manufacturing. Moreover, a sanitary valve is designed for use in applications […]

What is Flanged Sanitary Butterfly Valve? Flange sanitary butterfly valve disc center of rotation (i.e., the center of the valve stem) is located in the centerline of the valve body and disc sealing surface cross-section. Its seat is made of synthetic rubber. When it is closed, the external sealing surface of the disc presses the […]
