More and more with Pipe Fabrication

More and more with Pipe Fabrication and only in Piping & Fabrication blog, and lets continue this Definitions of Piping System.

Shot Blasting.

shot blasting machine

Mechanical removal of surface oxides and scale on the pipe inner and outer surfaces by the abrasive impingement of small steel pellets.

Single-Bevel-, Single-J, Single-U, Single-V-Groove Welds.

single bevel, single J, single U, single V groove welds

All are specific types of groove welds and are illustrated in Figure below.

Single-Welded Butt Joint.
A butt joint welded from one side only.

Size of Weld.

size of weld

For a groove weld, the joint penetration, which is the depth of chamfering plus the root penetration. For fillet welds,
the leg length of the largest isosceles right triangle which can be inscribed within the fillet-weld cross section.

Skelp.
A piece of plate prepared by forming and bending, ready for welding into pipe. Flat plates when used for butt-welded pipe are called skelp.

Slag Inclusion.
Nonmetallic solid material entrapped in weld metal or between weld metal.

Slurry.
A two-phase mixture of solid particles in an aqueous phase.

Socket Weld.
Fillet-type seal weld used to join pipe to valves and fittings or to other sections of pipe. Generally used for piping whose nominal diameter is NPS 2 (DN 50) or smaller.

Soldering.
A metal-joining process in which coalescence is produced by heating to a suitable temperature and by using a nonferrous alloy fusible at temperatures below that of the base metals being joined. The filler metal is distributed between closely fitted surfaces of the joint by capillary action.

Solution Heat Treatment.
Heating an alloy to a suitable temperature, holding at that temperature long enough to allow one or more constituents to enter into solid solution, and then cooling rapidly enough to hold the constituents in solution.

Solvent Cement Joint.
A joint made in thermoplastic piping by the use of a solvent or solvent cement which forms a continuous bond between the mating surfaces.

Source Nipple.
A short length of heavy-walled pipe between high-pressure mains and the first valve of bypass, drain, or instrument connections.

I hope, all of this definition will help us know more about piping system also fabrication.
