There are objects in our lives that we encounter, if not daily, then at least quite often. However, we do not always know what they are called. One of these items is a pipe. In our homes, we will find it at least in the bathroom, kitchen and toilet.
What is a nozzle
This is a short piece of pipe that connects a structure to a tank or pipeline. This ensures the removal of liquid, steam, waste water and gas.
Depending on the type of connection, branch pipes are divided into compensating, flanged, threaded or socketed. But transitional ones have one important feature.
What is a transition pipe? This is one in which both ends have a different shape and size. But regardless of the type, all pipes are connected by welding, riveting, rolling or screwing.
What are they made of? It all depends on the area of further application. So, measuring devices or pipe fittings, as a rule, are equipped with cast-iron or galvanized pipes. For the installation and repair of home plumbing, polypropylene pipes are most often used.
Why is it needed
Now, knowing what a pipe is, let's consider it in more detailpurpose. Here, as in the case of the material of manufacture, the scope of a particular model is of decisive importance.
For example, sewer pipes made of cast iron are used to remove fecal and domestic wastewater from industrial and residential buildings.
The purpose of the nozzle in washing machines and dishwashers is the connection of drains, the distribution of water intake and its discharge.
Compensating pipes made of polypropylene - one of the most popular today - are used for the installation and repair of plumbing, internal sewage systems and pipelines of buildings.
Scope of application
Spigots are extremely in demand, so it is not easy to list all the areas of their application. Plumbing of residential and industrial buildings, oil and gas pipelines, city sewerage, ventilation systems, plumbing, household appliances, measuring devices - this is an incomplete list of areas where various types of pipes are used.
Cars are worth mentioning separately. Even a novice driver knows the importance of an uninterrupted supply of oil, coolant and brake fluids. Numerous pipes are responsible for all this. What is a car hose? This is a flexible thick hose through which liquid is transferred from one unit to another.
Indeed, modern life is hard to imagine without nozzles, their scope is so wide.
