Marine Pipe and Pipe Fitting
Applications
Fuel Systems: Transporting fuel to the engines and other machinery.
Cooling Systems: Circulating water to cool engines and other systems.
Ballast Systems: Moving water in and out of tanks to stabilize the vessel.
Firefighting Systems: Providing water for onboard fire suppression systems.
Overview
Introduction
Marine pipes and pipe fittings are crucial components in marine applications, designed to handle various fluids such as water, fuel, and oil in the harsh environments of ships and offshore platforms.
Material Considerations
Corrosion Resistance: Due to the marine environment, materials that resist corrosion, such as copper-nickel and stainless steel, are often preferred.
Durability: Pipes and fittings must withstand high pressure, temperature variations, and mechanical stresses.
Weight: In some cases, lighter materials like PVC and PE are used to reduce the overall weight of the vessel.
