Steam fittings
Steam connectors are connectors suitable for use with steam hoses. For example, food plants, refineries, paper mills, energy plants and chemical plants use steam as a heat source and steam hoses and steam fittings in these processes to move steam from one place to another.
Components used with steam are exposed to extreme pressure, heat, and stress, so handling them properly is paramount. Steam connectors can typically withstand very high temperatures and high pressure. Commonly used materials for steam fittings are, for example, stainless steel, brass and copper.
The function of steam connectors is to ensure the safe and efficient transfer of steam in the steam conveying system. A high-quality steam connector reduces steam leaks, and a correctly selected connector contributes to the long service life of the system. Proper installation and maintenance of steam fittings can help reduce leaks and ensure that the steam system is operating as efficiently as possible. In case of problems, it is also recommended to check the Steam Hoses regularly and service them if necessary.
