Properties and Application Scenarios of Common Metal Pipe Fittings
Apr 13,2026
Metal fittings are the mainstream category in industrial and municipal pipeline networks, and material selection shall match working conditions. Carbon steel fittings feature moderate strength, good weldability and controllable cost, mostly used for non-corrosive medium scenarios such as petroleum, natural gas, municipal water supply and drainage, and general industrial fluid transportation, often with anti-corrosion coatings to improve durability. 304 and 316L stainless steel fittings have outstanding corrosion resistance, can resist acid, alkali, seawater and other media, and are hygienic, widely used in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, seawater treatment and other fields. Alloy steel fittings excel in high temperature and high pressure resistance, suitable for harsh working conditions such as power station boilers and petrochemical high-temperature pipelines. Copper alloy fittings have good thermal conductivity and bacteriostasis, mostly used in building water supply and HVAC systems.
