Threaded pup joints are a common pipe pup joint connector, widely made of carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and duplex stainless steel. They are generally divided into single-end threaded pup joints and double-end threaded pup joints. A pup joint with an external thread on one end and a flat or beveled mouth on the other end is called a single-end threaded pup joint; a pup joint with external threads on both ends is called a double-end threaded pup joint.
In pipeline applications, threaded pup joints are easier to install and disassemble, and there are a variety of specifications to choose from. At the same time, they can withstand higher pressures and are suitable for various high-pressure fluid pipelines and equipment. They can meet the needs of different pipelines and equipment, so they are cost-effective; in terms of appearance, threaded pup joints have a smooth surface, no cracks, no obvious defects such as pores and inclusions, and are durable. The following will introduce the specific parameters of threaded pup joints in detail so that you can choose a threaded pup joint correctly.
