介绍
Coupling is a device used to provide permanent and reliable joining between two ends of two pipes. Couplings are often produced from metals such as steel, brass, copper, iron, or aluminum and then machined into various configurations to fit certain applications.
Couplings are used to join pipes or tubes of various shapes and sizes, including straight pipes, threaded pipes, and flexible tubes. In a wide variety of applications including plumbing,rural water and sewage,pneumatic pipelines and automotive industry and more.
Coupling components are typically divided into two categories: static and dynamic. Static couplings provide a relatively rigid connection between two pipes, while dynamic couplings allow for movement of the pipes in relation to each other.
Dynamic couplings are often used in applications where pipes may be subject to movement due to vibration or thermal expansion. These couplings are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and materials, and they can also be tailor-made to suit specific applications.
Examples of dynamic coupling includes bellows couplings, expansion joint couplings, and rod actuator couplings. Bellows couplings feature a flexible joint which is used to absorb the movement associated with vibration or thermal expansion. Expansion joint couplings are a type of gimbal joint used when pipes need to move in multiple directions. Finally, rod actuator couplings are used when pipes need to be aligned or moved.
Static piping couplings are designed to provide rigidity between two ends of a pipe. These couplings are an essential part of any piping system and are used for everything from leak-proofing joints in plumbing systems to connecting large pipes for municipal water systems.
Static couplings are commonly used in a variety of applications including residential water and sewage systems, industrial piping systems, and on large-scale piping jobs. Examples of static coupling include flanges, bolted couplings, compression couplings, and unions. Flanges are used to join two pipes and ensure a leak-proof connection. Bolted couplings, compression couplings, and unions all provide a permanent connection to the pipe and can be used in applications where vibration or thermal expansion is not a concern.
Coupling components are an essential part of any piping system and are available in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and materials to suit various applications. Whether it’s a static or dynamic connection, coupling components are available to provide permanent and reliable pipe or tube connections.
