What are Schedule inox welding accessories?
Schedule inox welding fittings are components used to join, divert, or adapt pipes by welding. They are manufactured from stainless steel and designed according to standardized "Schedule" thicknesses, commonly used in industrial installations and fluid conveyance systems.
What does “Schedule” mean in pipes and fittings?
The term “ Schedule ” refers to the wall thickness of the pipe or fitting. The higher the Schedule number, the greater the thickness and pressure capacity.
What is the function of these accessories?
They are used to make changes of direction, branches, reductions or joints in industrial piping systems by means of permanent welding.
Do SCH stainless steel accessories comply with international standards?
Yes, they are usually manufactured according to international standards such as ASTM, ASME or DIN, guaranteeing compatibility and quality in industrial installations.
What is the difference between threaded fittings and weld fittings?
Welding fittings provide a permanent and stronger joint, especially suitable for high pressures or temperatures. Threaded fittings are removable and easier to install.
What type of welding do they require?
Processes such as TIG or MIG welding are typically used, depending on the type of installation and the required finish.
Are they suitable for food applications?
Yes, especially those made of AISI 316 stainless steel, are widely used in the food and healthcare industries.
How can I find out what grade level schedule I need?
It depends on the operating pressure and the type of installation. If you have any questions, our technical team can help you select the right option.
