Selection and application of mechanical tubes

Structure of mechanical tubes:

Mechanical tubes refer to pipeline systems installed in mechanical equipment, which are used to transport gas, liquid and other media. It is usually composed of multiple pipes, valves, joints and other components, and is an important part of realizing the automated production of mechanical equipment.

The mechanical tube is mainly composed of three parts: pipe body, end cover and bearing seat. Among them, the pipe body is the core part of the mechanical pipe, which carries the working pressure and flow of the entire pipeline system. Therefore, when selecting a mechanical pipe, it is necessary to focus on factors such as the material, diameter, and wall thickness of the pipe body.

Advantages of mechanical tubes:

The advantages of mechanical tubes are that they have good sealing performance, strong bearing capacity, strong wear resistance, and long service life to ensure the reliability, stability and safety of the pipeline system. At the same time, mechanical pipes also have good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and are suitable for various complex environmental conditions. In addition, mechanical precision pipes have high dimensions and geometric shapes, which can meet the requirements of highly precise applications. In terms of installation and maintenance, mechanical pipes are also more convenient, can be quickly assembled and disassembled, and are convenient for cleaning and replacement of damaged parts.

Mechanical tubes are usually manufactured using special cold rolling and seamless tube cold drawing processes, which have high strength and toughness. This makes mechanical tubes have superior performance in applications that withstand high pressure and heavy loads.

How to choose mechanical tubes?

‌The following factors need to be considered when choosing mechanical tubes:

‌1. Working environment‌
The working environment of the mechanical tube is crucial to its selection. For example, if the mechanical tube will be used in an environment with high pressure, high temperature or corrosive media, more durable materials and high-quality products need to be selected.

‌2. Material quality‌
The main materials of mechanical tubes include steel pipes, stainless steel, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. Different materials are suitable for different working environments. For example, stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance and is suitable for harsh environments.

‌3. Specifications and dimensions‌
The diameter and wall thickness of the mechanical tube need to be selected according to actual needs. Different mechanical tubes have different diameters and lengths, and the appropriate specifications need to be selected according to actual needs.

‌4. Sealing performance‌
The mechanical tube needs to have good sealing performance to ensure that no leakage occurs during the working process, affecting the stability and reliability of the system.

5. Supplier selection 

Choose experienced suppliers and high-quality after-sales service to ensure product quality and service quality. 

Application fields of mechanical pipes: 

Mechanical tubes are widely used in various mechanical equipment, such as manufacturing, chemical, energy, medical, construction and other fields, to provide guarantee for the automatic operation of mechanical equipment. In modern factories, mechanical tubes are often used to transport raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products, coordinate the operation of various components, and improve production efficiency and quality. 

The main applications of mechanical pipes are in the following fields: 

1. Hydraulic system 

Mechanical tubes play an important role in hydraulic systems and can be used to transmit liquids or gases, such as hydraulic oil and air. The advantages of mechanical tubes are strong pressure bearing capacity, ability to withstand working environments under high pressure, high temperature, high speed and other conditions, and good corrosion resistance, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the system. 

2. Petrochemical 

In the field of petrochemicals, mechanical tubes can be used to transport oil, natural gas, chemicals, etc., with the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and high pressure resistance. The use of mechanical tubes can reduce the occurrence of leakage and accidents, and ensure the safety and stability of the production environment. 

3. Mechanical manufacturing

In the field of mechanical manufacturing, mechanical tubes can be used to connect different mechanical equipment or pipelines, and have the advantages of being detachable and reusable. The use of mechanical tubes can facilitate the maintenance and replacement of equipment, and improve the efficiency and economic benefits of equipment.

4. Construction engineering
In construction engineering, mechanical tubes can be used to transport water, gas, electricity, etc., and have the characteristics of safety, high efficiency, and environmental protection. The use of mechanical pipes can reduce construction time and cost, and improve the quality and efficiency of the project.

The position of mechanical tubes in mechanical equipment is very important. Excellent mechanical tubes can improve the operating efficiency of mechanical equipment, ensure the quality and stability of products, and ensure the safety and stability of the production process. Once the mechanical pipe is damaged or fails, it will cause the mechanical equipment to stop working, affect the production progress, and increase the production cost. Therefore, in the daily maintenance and maintenance of mechanical equipment, mechanical tubes should also be taken seriously, and pipes, valves and other components should be checked and replaced in time to ensure the stability and safety of mechanical tubes.
