Welding caps

Description of Section "Welding caps"

Elliptical welding caps are special metal elements designed for hermetic sealing of pipeline ends. They are widely used in various industries such as oil and gas, chemical, energy, and utilities. These products are manufactured in accordance with the GOST 17379-2001 standard.

Shape and Construction

An elliptical welding cap has the shape of a half-ellipse or hemisphere. This geometry ensures uniform pressure distribution across the cap's surface. Due to their shape, they can withstand high loads and prevent deformation during operation.

Manufacturing Materials

Various grades of steel are used for producing elliptical welding caps:

  • Carbon steel
  • Stainless steel
  • Alloy steels

Material selection depends on operating conditions: temperature, pressure, and chemical composition of the working medium.

Advantages of Elliptical Welding Caps

  1. High strength: Due to their shape, they are resistant to high pressure.
  2. Leak-proofness: Welded joints prevent working medium leakage.
  3. Versatile application: Suitable for various types of pipelines (gas mains, heating systems, reservoirs).
