Routing & branching
Elbows change the route; tees, crosses and branch outlets introduce junctions. Their geometry describes how pipe sections connect within the layout.

Project & Application Requirements
Understand how fitting function, assembly access and material behaviour relate to a piping application. Project and procurement guidance helps turn that context into a complete requirement.
01 / FITTINGS WITHIN A SYSTEM
Understand the job of the connection.
Assembly & access
A welded coupling joins the line, a union adds a separable joint and a cap terminates an end. These components have different roles in an assembly.
Understand separable jointsMaterial & service
Material behaviour depends on chemistry, structure, condition and exposure. Corrosion resistance and mechanical properties answer different questions about the intended duty.
Explore material properties02 / YOUR PROCUREMENT CONTEXT
How project context changes the requirement.
EPC & project procurement
Include the project specification, line-item schedule and required document references.
OEM & equipment requirements
Identify drawing-controlled dimensions, interfaces and any assembly references.
Maintenance & replacement
Share available markings, drawings and mating component details. Clearly state the required date.
Fabrication requirements
Include connection sizes, mating pipe details and relevant fabrication drawings.
Distribution & stock enquiries
List exact fitting descriptions, materials, quantities and documentation requirements by line item.
Plant & end-user requirements
Provide the governing specification, site requirements, acceptance criteria and delivery destination.
Application suitabilityInclude the application requirements established by your engineering team. Suitability is reviewed against the complete specification; an application description alone is not a selection basis.
03 / APPLICATION DETAILS
