1. Key Features
Material: Made from high-quality Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH), known for its excellent chemical resistance, especially to a wide range of acids, alkalis, and organic solvents.
Dual Connection System:
Socket Fusion End: The smooth socket allows for a permanent, homogeneous, and full-strength joint with a PPH pipe through the heat fusion process. This creates a joint as strong as the pipe itself.
Female Threaded End: The internal thread (typically conforming to standards like BSPP (R), NPT, etc.) enables a secure mechanical connection with any male-threaded component.
High Temperature & Pressure Resistance: PPH material maintains excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability at elevated temperatures (typically up to 95°C / 203°F) and under significant pressure, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Corrosion & Abrasion Resistance: Highly resistant to corrosion, scaling, and electrochemical degradation. It also offers good abrasion resistance for slurries or fluids containing suspended solids.
Long Service Life & Low Maintenance: The inert nature of PPH ensures a long operational lifespan without rust or corrosion, significantly reducing system maintenance costs.
2. Primary Advantages
System Integration and Versatility: It is the ideal solution for connecting a primary PPH pipeline to auxiliary equipment such as metal valves, instruments, filters, pumps, or other threaded fittings, providing exceptional design flexibility.
Leak-Free Performance: The fusion-welded end guarantees a monolithic, leak-proof seal, while the threaded end, when properly sealed with thread seal tape or compound, ensures a tight mechanical connection.
Cost-Effectiveness: Simplifies installation and reduces the need for complex adapters. The durability of PPH lowers the total cost of ownership.
Reliability: The inherent properties of PPH and the integrity of the fusion weld ensure a robust and dependable connection point in critical piping systems.
3. Typical Applications
This fitting is widely used in aggressive industrial environments where reliable fluid handling is crucial. Common applications include:
Chemical Processing Plants: For transferring aggressive acids, alkalis, and chemical reagents.
Semiconductor & PCB Manufacturing: In high-purity water and chemical distribution systems (e.g., UPW, CMP slurries).
Water & Wastewater Treatment: Handling chlorinated water, disinfectants, and various treatment chemicals.
Plating & Surface Treatment Lines: For circulating concentrated etching and plating baths.
Pharmaceutical and Food & Beverage Industries: In specific utility and effluent lines requiring chemical resistance.
Industrial Ventilation & Scrubbers: Transporting corrosive fumes and gases.
