surveühendusi

Surveühendusi, often translated as pressure connections or pressure couplings, are mechanical devices used to join pipes or tubes together under pressure. These connections are critical in various industries, including plumbing, hydraulics, pneumatics, and automotive systems, where maintaining the integrity of a fluid or gas flow is paramount. The primary function of a surveühendus is to create a secure, leak-proof seal that can withstand the operating pressure of the system.

There are several types of surveühendusi, each designed for specific applications and pressure ratings. Common examples include compression fittings, flare fittings, and threaded fittings. Compression fittings typically use a nut and a ferrule (a ring) to compress the ferrule onto the pipe and into the fitting body, creating a seal. Flare fittings create a seal by deforming the end of the pipe into a cone shape that is then pressed against a matching conically shaped fitting body. Threaded fittings rely on a tight mating of internal and external threads, often with the addition of sealing tape or paste, to prevent leaks.

The selection of an appropriate surveühendus depends on factors such as the type of fluid or gas being conveyed, the operating pressure and temperature, the material of the pipes, and the required reliability and longevity of the connection. Proper installation is crucial for the effective performance of any surveühendus, as incorrect assembly can lead to leaks, system failures, and potential safety hazards. Regular inspection and maintenance of these connections are also essential to ensure continued safe and efficient operation of the systems they are part of.
