The fact is that there is a huge need for suppliers of elbolets, pipe fittings, pipe flanges, and much more. That need will only increase over time as well. The Gulf Coast is lined with over 100 major projects, all requiring these types of fittings and piping, all scheduled to take place over the next […]
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration under the US Department of Transportation estimates that there are approximately 160,521 miles of liquid petroleum pipeline and over 1,585,672 miles of natural gas pipeline across the nation. In 2019, the gas integrated transportation network delivered over 28.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to consumers. Flanges play […]
In this day and age, we rely on piping systems for a variety of matters, with some being perhaps more crucial than others. Without piping systems, as well as the pipe fittings that sustain them, we would not have fuel. The United States relies on them to transport both natural gas and liquid petroleum. Therefore, […]
Pipeline corrosion is something that we are going to have to reckon with as a nation sooner or later. Not only is it jeopardizing the transportation of valuable fuel sources like natural gas and petroleum, it’s also costing a lot of money. In fact, pipeline corrosion on its own costs the American economy over $9 […]
Flanges are integral to the oil and gas industry, but they’re still a bit of a mystery to the average consumer. The piping systems that we rely upon today cannot function properly without flanges, yet they often are poorly maintained or bought in the wrong form. The more that is known about flanges, the less […]
Did you know that the U.S. has more than 1,382,569 miles of pipeline stretching across America? That means hundreds of billions of tons of liquid petroleum products and trillions of tons of cubic feet of natural gas are crisscrossing the nation in pipes that have to be connected. For the majority of connections, the long […]
Sockolets (*) are a type of self-reinforced branch connection that are typically used in small-sized pipe branch connections. Sockolets are similar to weldolets. Like every other part of your piping systems, it is vital to have high-quality sockolets. They are available in a range of dimensions and class 3000 to class 6000 pressure and temperature […]
It can be difficult to find a fitting distributor after leaving your previous distributor. The reasons for leaving a distributor are myriad. Some choose to leave their distributors following a change in pricing, or perhaps due to mistakes made by a previous distributor. No matter what, the selection process can be challenging, especially due to […]
If you need new flange gaskets, you may be wondering where you can turn. The average person is generally not familiar with the different weld fittings and pipe fittings that are available to them. These are integral parts of the piping system — and becoming familiar with all aspects of titanium pipe fittings can help […]
Since the very first hydrocarbon pipelines were made from bamboo in China around 500 BC, the pipeline industry has steadily evolved. Today, many industries use carbon steel pipe fittings. It all depends on the industrial project that is being undertaken. Top manufacturers of forged steel unions and fittings have the forged products needed that are […]
