With operations spread across all 10 export locations and an annual turnover of 200,000 tons, we touch lives in every walk of life. Today, we supply steel to various sectors including Oil, Gas, Engineering and Construction, and are a leading structural steel distributor in the UAE.
Cast Iron: Provides good abrasion resistance for many applications.
Carbon Steel with Hard Coatings (e.g., Chromium Carbide): Common in
severe abrasive conditions.
Ceramic-Lined: These fittings have a ceramic lining that provides
excellent wear resistance.
Polyurethane & Rubber Linings: Used for applications involving wet
slurries or where a flexible and wear-resistant liner is required.
Abrasion-Resistant Steels (e.g., AR400, AR500): Common for high-wear
environments.
Elbows: Used to change the direction of the pipe, these are commonly
reinforced with abrasion-resistant materials.
Reducers: Designed to reduce the pipe diameter while maintaining wear
resistance.
Tees: Used to split or combine flow, these are built to handle abrasive
material flow through multiple branches.
Couplings and Adapters: Abrasion-resistant couplings are used to join
pipes while preventing wear at the connection point.
Ceramic Lining: Often used in high-wear applications, it can significantly
extend the lifespan of the fittings.
Chromium Carbide Coatings: These hard coatings are applied to the inner
surface of the fittings to resist abrasion.
Rubber or Polyurethane Lining: For wet, slurry, or corrosive
environments, providing flexibility and resistance to both abrasion and
corrosion.
Wall Thickness: Abrasion-resistant pipe fittings often have thicker walls compared to standard fittings to increase their lifespan.
Durability: The lifespan depends on the material and the severity of the abrasion, but these fittings are typically designed to last much longer than standard pipe fittings.
Mining and Minerals Processing: Transporting ores, rocks, and slurries.
Cement and Concrete: Handling cement powder, aggregates, and other abrasive materials.
Power Generation: Ash handling, coal transport, and similar applications.
Chemical and Petrochemical: For handling abrasive chemicals and slurries.
Installation: Usually straightforward but requires careful alignment to minimize wear at joints and connections.
Maintenance: Regular inspection is necessary to monitor wear, and in some cases, the liners or coatings can be replaced without replacing the entire fitting.
ASTM A532: A standard specification for abrasion-resistant cast iron fittings.
ASME B16.9: Standards for dimensions and tolerances for welded fittings, including those used for abrasion-resistant applications.
