The standard specifications and sizes of pipe caps vary depending on the type and purpose.
Seamless steel pipe cap
Seamless steel pipe caps are commonly used in high-pressure and high-temperature environments, with sizes ranging from DN15 to DN1200 and thicknesses ranging from Sch10 to Sch160.
Welding pipe caps
Welded pipe caps are suitable for low and medium pressure systems, with a wider range of sizes from DN15 to DN2000 and thicknesses from Sch5 to Sch160.
Forged pipe cap
Forged pipe caps are commonly used in special requirements, with a size range of DN6 to DN100 and thicknesses expressed as 2000LB, 3000LB, 6000LB, etc.
Standard for pipe caps of different materials
The materials and standards for pipe caps include:
Stainless steel: 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, etc
Standards: ASME, DIN, JIS, BS, GB/T, JB, SH, HG, etc
Usage: Water, beverages, beer, food, petrochemicals, nuclear power, machinery, medical equipment, fertilizers, shipbuilding, waterproofing treatment, pipelines, etc
The purpose and installation precautions of pipe caps
Pipe caps are mainly used to seal pipelines and ensure the normal operation of pipeline systems. When choosing a pipe cap, in addition to considering the size, it is also necessary to choose a suitable material based on actual needs, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel. During installation, attention should be paid to the inspection of the joint welds to ensure that the weld quality meets the requirements.
