STAINLESS STEEL FORGED FITTING ASME SA105 B16.11 HALF COUPLING 3000# NPT
A half coupling is a type of pipe fitting used in plumbing and piping systems. It is a shorter version of a coupling and is used to connect two pipes, but only at one end. Here's more detail about it:
Features of a Half Coupling:
-
Connection Type: A half coupling is threaded or socket-welded at one end, while the other end remains open or unfinished.
- Threaded half coupling: It has internal threads for screwing onto the threaded end of a pipe.
- Socket-welded half coupling: It has a smooth end for welding onto a pipe.
-
Purpose:
- Half couplings are typically used to branch off a main pipe to connect smaller piping or instrumentation.
- It is often welded or attached to the wall of a pipe, tank, or fitting.
-
Materials:
- They are made from various materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, or PVC, depending on the application and the type of fluid being transported.
-
Applications:
- Commonly used in low-pressure applications, such as in plumbing systems, irrigation, and chemical processing plants.
- Also found in pipelines for creating branch connections or outlets.
Difference Between Half Coupling and Full Coupling:
- A full coupling has connections on both ends, allowing two pipes to be joined end-to-end.
- A half coupling, on the other hand, only connects to one pipe and is often welded or attached to another surface for creating a branch or outlet.
