Pipe Spools are fabricated from a number of raw pipes and pipe fittings (e.g. elbows, flanges, tees, etc.) in fabrication shops.
Raw pipes are cut to the required sizes and moved with pipe fittings to a fitting table, where some of the components are fitted together (i.e. temporarily connected). The resulting sub-assembly (part of the final pipe spool) continues with welding operations (i.e. permanent connected) before it comes back to the fitting table and gets fitted with other spool components.
Steel Pipe Spools are also referred as prefabricated components of a piping system such as pipes, flanges and pipe fittings, and they are mounted during the development before sending them to the manufacture.
This Stainless Steel Pipe Spooling are often flanged to facilitate the connection to other spools and also mostly preferred in various industrial applications such as power plants and petroleum refineries require intensive piping.
We manufacture piping products as well. When customers need different elements be fitted together before installation, the application of fabricated elements together is called the piping spool applications. There are Stainless Steel Pipe Spools products as well other material made spools in used.
The pipe spools are usually applied in concrete structures to make sure the necessary fittings are in place before pouring concrete into the construction.
The Stainless Steel Fabricated Pipe Spools are useful for the customers in that they do not miss any parts and they eliminate the difficulty of onsite installation.
There are different material grades used to produce these spools. The 304 stainless steel is the most used grade. The Sanitary Stainless steel 304 Tri Clamp Spool is made up of this material and has 3 clamps fitted for convenience of the customer. We also provide custom solutions to our customers. Please contact us for your needs.
The surface edges of the components must be even and the surface impurities must be removed. A beveling process is implemented for the edges of the parts. A grinding machine is employed for the beveling process. The type of grinding machines for beveling differs for stainless steel components and carbon steel components.
For the supply of water and flammable gases, steel pipes are the most useful pipes. They are used in many homes and businesses to transfer natural gas or propane fuel. They also used for fire sprinkler systems due to their high heat resistance.
A fit-up and welding process must be applied after the edge finish of the parts. Therefore, for stainless steel and carbon steel pipe spools, parts can be located onto steel bases or wooden bases. Furthermore, any contact possibility between carbon steel and stainless steel must be minimized.
The durability of steel is one of the best advantages of the pipeline systems. It is strong and it can withstand the pressures, temperatures, heavy shocks, and vibrations. It also has unique flexibility which provides an easy extension.
The number of welds on a spool must be kept in a minimum count. The dimension of the spacing between circumferential welds and the center lines must not be larger than the four times the wall thickness of the pipe or fitting. After the main welds, tacks welds must be done precisely. All welds in the spools must be implemented according to proper Welding Procedure Specification (WPS). After the welding process is done, quality control of the components is performed by the specialists.
The combined parts are heat treated with the aim of reducing the induced inner stresses. The heat treatment procedure is performed according to ASME B31.3 standards. Thereafter, the pipe spools must be painted for protection of the surfaces from any corrosion risk.

Pipe spools are the pre-build parts of a piping system. Pipes, flanges, and fittings are called pipe spools and they are produced before they are used in the piping system.
Pipe spools are pre-shaped to make easier assemble using hoists, gauges and other tools for joining the parts. Pipe spools unite long pipes with flanges from the end of the long pipes so they can be bolted with each other with matching flanges.
These connections are embedded inside concrete walls before the pouring of concrete. This system must be aligned properly before concrete pouring because it needs to withstand the weight and force of the structure.
They generally easily corrode because of the elements they exposure; water and natural electrolytes. Acceptable protective monitoring must be done when applying pipe spool systems.
Pipe spool fabrication is very important because the construction of the ship and other marine industries require intensive piping. Pipe spools create great advantages because they reduce the limitations of space on site.
With this advantage, all of the pipeline using industries has a great opportunity to increase their pipeline system efficiency and decrease their need for workforce and time.
Pipe spool systems are mostly used in power plants and petroleum refineries which requiring intensive piping. These systems include carriage and transport of fluid and gas and these transportation systems need lots of connection parts. In these systems, there is no place for mistakes.
Pipe spools are produced by the usage of raw pipes and pipe fittings. The cutting process of the raw pipes is done with prespecified sizes that are suitable for the pipe fittings and other components.
The following procedure after the marking is the cutting step. The way of cutting differs for various materials. Thus, for carbon steels, the flame cutting method is utilized. Moreover, stainless steel components can be cut using a plasma arc cutting machine. If the plasma arc cutter is used some certain conditions must be maintained.
Pipe spools are pre-fabricated to reduce field installation costs and provide higher quality in the products. They are generally flanged to obtain the connection to other spools. The spool fabrication is normally performed by special companies having the required infrastructure.
The plasma arc cutter is utilized for large pipes (above 28 inches of nominal pipe size) and its use is also beneficial for cutting off branches. If possible, an internal case must be located into pipes or fittings, in order to protect them from the spatters which are created by the plasma arc cutter. After the cutting, and edge preparation must be maintained.
These specialist fabricators produce the system under the specified set of quality and accuracy to obtain proper fit at the site and to maintain the necessary technical properties defined by the client.
The tees are also used for the change of the flow angle and distribution of the flowing matter either into one or more channels. Tees can be divided into two main groups which are the butt welded tees and the socket welded tees. The butt welded tees are utilized to perform a perpendicular distribution of the flow. They make 90¡ã branches with the connection of the pipeline and distribute the coming matter from the mainline.
The butt welded tees can maintain a straight flow or reducing flow which depends on the ordered pipeline system. The reducing branches (reducing tees) make a perpendicular connection with the mainline. The radiuses of the tees are usually smaller than the main flow line. The radiuses of the straight tees are produced in a way that has similar radiuses with the main flow line.
