HYDRAULIC PIPES:
Hydraulic pipes are pipe systems generally used for the transmission of liquids. Hydraulic systems are systems that transmit power generally through pressurized fluids. These pipes are generally designed to operate under high pressure and are used in many industrial applications. For example, hydraulic pipes are frequently encountered in construction machinery, hydraulic presses, automobile brake systems and industrial machinery.
Hydraulic pipes can be made from a variety of materials, but steel or alloy steel is usually used. These materials are resistant to high pressure and have a long service life. Internal diameters of hydraulic pipes may vary depending on working pressure and flow rate.
Installation and maintenance of hydraulic pipes must be done correctly because any error in the system can cause serious malfunctions and even safety risks. For this reason, hydraulic systems are often designed, installed and maintained by professionals.
It is a circuit element that carries and guides the fluid between certain points in the system. Pipes are made of stainless steel and light metals by cold drawing method or welded. Welded pipes are not resistant to high pressures. One of the two important factors in pipe selection in hydraulic circuits is the desired internal diameter and the other is the wall thickness that can meet the working pressure. In order to achieve the desired pressure and flow rates in hydraulic systems, pipe diameters must be calculated and determined using correct methods.
Hydraulic Pipe Types
Hydraulic pipes come in various types according to different applications and requirements. Here are some common types of hydraulic pipe:
1. **Straight Pipes:** It is the simplest type of hydraulic pipe and is generally used in simple hydraulic systems. Straight pipes have a smooth inner surface and outer surface.
2. **Spiral Pipes:** Spiral pipes are wrapped in a spiral spiral outward. This design allows the pipe to gain greater flexibility and fracture resistance. They are generally used in underground hydraulic lines.
3. **Flexible Pipes:** Flexible pipes are often used in tight spaces or when fluid transmission is required between moving components. Thanks to their flexible structure, they can be bent and are usually made of rubber or special synthetic materials.
4. **High Pressure Pipes:** These pipes are designed for use in high pressure hydraulic systems. They are usually made of steel or alloy steel and have a durable construction.
5. **Composite Pipes:** Composite pipes are usually produced from a combination of various materials. These materials include fiber-reinforced plastics and specialty composites. It has advantages such as lightness and durability.
6. **Thermoplastic Pipes:** Thermoplastic pipes are generally used in low pressure hydraulic systems. They are made of materials such as PVC, polyethylene or polypropylene. They have the advantages of flexibility and chemical resistance.
These are just a few examples, and hydraulic pipe types can vary depending on their use, application requirements and challenges. Each pipe type provides the optimal solution for a particular application or usage scenario.
