Chemical industry

Fittings, unions and valves play a vital role in chemical parks where the safe handling and control of a wide range of hazardous media is of paramount importance. These components offer a wide range of applications that contribute to efficiency, safety and environmental protection. 

They are essential components in pipework systems that transport various chemicals and media. They ensure a reliable connection between pipework sections so that there are no leaks that could lead to environmental pollution or hazardous exposures.

In the chemical industry, accurate dosing of chemicals is crucial. Fittings enable precise control of the flow to ensure accurate dosing. This is particularly important in processes such as the manufacture of medicines or water treatment.

Some chemical processes require precise temperature control. Fittings and valves allow heating and cooling equipment to be connected to the pipework system to maintain the desired temperature. They are also important for the maintenance and cleaning of systems. Three-piece fittings facilitate access to different parts of the system and allow components to be disconnected quickly to carry out inspections or repairs.

Contamination of chemicals must be avoided at all costs. The correct selection and installation of fittings and unions made from high quality, corrosion resistant materials is critical to ensure product purity and equipment safety.

The pipe connections provide the flexibility to extend, reroute or adapt systems as required. This is important as requirements in chemical parks change frequently.

In chemical parks, fittings, unions and valves are essential components that ensure the safety, efficiency and environmental sustainability of processes. The correct selection and maintenance of these components are crucial to avoid potentially dangerous situations and to ensure the quality of the manufactured products.
