What is stainless steel pipe fitting siphon cock?
Siphon cock is a stainless steel fitting valve, which is used for smaller pipe connections. Famously used with siphon pipes or tubes in the line of pressure sensor. They are used to cut the flow of media to pressure sensor. This small valve can also be used to control media flow in small dia size lines. The working of siphon cock is simple. There is an angled lever whose stem goes down till the bottom of the valve. When turned to open, the flat end will come parallel to the side wall opening the valve. Similarly the wider or round part of stem will face any open side in order to close the valve.
What is stainless steel fitting siphon cock accessory siphon pipe?
A siphon pipe in short is a protecting tool for a pressure sensor. It protects the pressure sensors from unwanted hot temperature agents such as stem etc. Moreover, it also safeguards the pressure sensor from unwanted rapid pressure changes. These rapid changes can damage the pressure sensing mechanism working with spring. Siphon tubes are a cheap solution to increase the life of pressure sensors. Saving them from high temperatures.
Types of Siphon Pipe?
Siphon pipes can be differentiated on the basis of their material and their shape. Most commonly stainless steel siphon tubes are used. They come in variety of grades such as stainless 202, 304 and 316 grades. One can find these tubes also in WCB material and carbon steel forging material. Boilers are required to have a pressure meter with an IBR certified syphon tube. Siphon tubes can also made in other alloy materials.
Siphon tubes are also fabricated in different shapes. Most common are Q type and U type. These come in either threaded ends or butt welded ends for carbon steel material. These tubes can be fitted with additional coils for longer ends. User decides upon the design of the tube as per the space available.
