putkiliitännät

Putkiliitännät refer to the various methods and components used to connect pipes together in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial systems. These connections are crucial for creating a continuous flow of fluids or gases and must be leak-proof and structurally sound.

Common types of putkiliitännät include threaded connections, where pipes are screwed together using fittings with matching threads. Flanged connections are another prevalent method, utilizing flat metal rings (flanges) that are bolted together with a gasket in between to create a seal. Compression fittings, often used for smaller diameter pipes or in situations where welding is not feasible, create a seal by compressing a ferrule or ring onto the pipe.

Welded connections are a permanent and strong method, typically used for metal pipes and in high-pressure or high-temperature applications. Solvent welding is common for plastic pipes, where a solvent chemically softens the pipe and fitting, creating a fused bond. Brazed and soldered connections are similar to welding but occur at lower temperatures and are often used for copper pipes.

The choice of putkiliitännät depends on factors such as the pipe material, operating pressure and temperature, required durability, cost, and ease of installation or maintenance. Proper selection and installation of these connections are vital to ensure the safety and efficiency of the entire system.
