jaotustorudeks

Jaotustorudeks is Estonian term for a class of piping components designed to distribute a fluid or gas from a common source to multiple outlets. They are commonly implemented as manifolds or branched tubes and are used where controlled, even distribution is required across several lines or devices.

Design options include parallel manifolds, multiport branches, and radial or tree-like networks. Key performance factors are pressure drop, flow balance, and mechanical integrity. Proper sizing, sealing, and support are essential to prevent leaks and vibration. Some designs integrate balancing valves, flow restrictors, or sensors for monitoring.

Materials vary with application; metals such as stainless steel or brass are used for high-pressure or aggressive media, while plastics such as PVC, PEX, or PVDF are common in low-pressure or corrosion-sensitive systems. Manufacturing methods include extrusion, casting, or mechanical assembly of tubes and fittings.

Applications span building services (water, heating, cooling), irrigation systems, chemical processing, and laboratory setups where modular distribution of fluids is advantageous. In many industries jaotustorudeks provide scalable, reusable infrastructure that simplifies installation and maintenance.

Standards and codes governing jaotustorudeks address material compatibility, pressure ratings, and leak prevention. Designers follow national and international piping practices, including proper labeling, insulation where needed, and compliance with safety regulations.
