Socket Weld Or Screw type valves for Hot Oil Pipes
Socket Weld Or Screw type valves for Hot Oil Pipes
(OP)
Need some advice on the selection of valve joints ( Screw or Socket Weld) for Hot oil Pipes at 150degC at 1.5bar only. The pipes sizes required is Dia 1" and 1/2" and 11/2" Stainless Steel pipes seamless for a heat exchanger project. Should I used Valves with Screw type fittings or Socket weld type fittings. Is there any article that I can also refer for reference? Thanks

If stainless is required socket welds could save you some headaches down the road. Naturally assuming competent welder-fitters.
