Rotating UnionsPlant Engineering Magazine

<<A rotating union is a unique product because it must be capable of containing pressure, sometimes very high, and withstanding corrosive fluids that can be at elevated temperatures, all the while rotating, sometimes at high speeds. This is possible through the use of almost perfectly mating seal faces. These lapped seals must rotate smoothly and easily, with minimum friction, to ensure long life and no leakage.>>

Hammer UnionsBoltex Mfg. Co.
<<Small diameter piping connections that require a positive seal and easy assembly and disassembly are made using unions. Unions are commonly used for inserting metering and regulating devices into a piping system or for connecting piping systems to vessels. Since the mating ends of the union are interchangeable, changing out a device can be accomplished with a minimum loss of time. A standard pipe union is made in three parts consisting of a nut, a male end and a female end. When the male and female ends are joined, the nut then provides the necessary pressure to seal the joint. Hammer unions, as manufactured and stocked by BOLTEX, are the same as other unions except that the nut has three lugs on the outside diameter that allow for the union to be sealed with a hammer instead of a wrench.>>
Drainage System ComponentsWashington Department of Ecology
<<There are several drainage components that are fairly common in most drainage systems. This section introduces some basic components that are part of the drainage systems described in the following section - Drainage Systems. Successful construction involves selecting the appropriate materials for the collection, conveyance, and discharge requirements of your system. Attention to proper capacity and durability of each drainage material is critical. The performance of your system will be improved by using good construction techniques and by performing routine periodic maintenance.>>
A Code Evaluation of Integrally Reinforced Branch Outlet FittingsWFI
<<A piping branch connection is simply the joining of two pieces of pipe at some predetermined angle to split the flow of the fluid, gas or particulate flowing in the piping system. Anytime a hole is cut in one pipe to join another to it, the pipe with the hole cut in it has been weakened. The pipe with the hole is commonly referred to as the run pipe. If pipes of the same schedule are connected, welded together without any additional reinforcement at the point of attachment, failure will occur at the point of attachment at a pressure which is lower than the failure pressure of an unweakened pipe. Early piping systems were simply constructed by connecting one pipe to another without any reinforcement at the point of attachment. For example, Roman wooden, clay and stone piping systems most often used a compression joint by forcing the branch pipe into a hole cut in the main run pipe. In the early centuries, when the did not create a serious safety problem.>>
