NIPPLI TUBO
Nipples are one of the fundamental mechanical constructions for plumbing and piping.
These are fittings made from tubular sections with threads on one or both ends. These components are widely used to connect and fasten pipes together.
Thanks to their threaded ends, nipples act as connections between pipe sections, thus forming pipes for different types of fluids.
A direct consequence of this function is that they are subjected to numerous and often prolonged stresses.
It is therefore necessary that they are made of materials that guarantee adequate mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance.
The most commonly used material is therefore stainless steel, but nipples can also be found in bronze, aluminium and other polymeric materials.
Their strength and ease of use make them important operating components in various sectors including the oil and gas industry.
- barrel nipple: this type of nipple has an NPT thread (ASME B 1.20.1) or GAS UNI 338/339 or ISO tapered at both ends and the central section is unthreaded; dimensions and tolerances EN 10241
- T.O.E. nipple: In this case we have a fitting that has the thread on one of the two sides only,
- WELDING NIPPLE: Similar to the previous type, but with the difference that there is a chamfer on the unthreaded end, required to facilitate subsequent welding. Ideal for use in extreme conditions such as vibrations, pressure fluctuations and temperature changes;
