Connectors with female thread

Female threaded coupling connector is a common connector which is widely used in pipelines, valves, pumps etc. It is characterised by its simple structure, strong connection, good sealing, easy installation, etc. This article will introduce the basic concept, structural features, classification and precautions for the use of female threaded connectors in detail, so that readers can better understand and use the connector.Pin Header

First, the basic concept

The female threaded connector is a connector that connects two fittings with internal threads to each other through threads to form a whole. It is suitable for general piping systems for liquids, gases and steam, and is widely used in petrochemical, chemical, electric power, metallurgy, paper making, food, pharmaceutical and other fields.Female Header Connector

Female connectors are available in hexagonal, tapered and flat threaded versions to suit your needs. In addition, female threaded connectors can also be divided into copper, stainless steel, carbon steel, plastic and other materials according to the different materials, to adapt to different use requirements.Box Header

Structural features

The main structural parts of the female connector include

1. The connector itself: the main part of the connection fitting, generally straight or elbow type. Joint material is generally copper, stainless steel, carbon steel and other materials;

2. sealing gasket: used to ensure the sealing of the connector, generally using asbestos fibres, PTFE, rubber and other materials;

3. Nuts: rotatable connectors with a hexagonal or square outer design for easy tightening with a spanner;

4. Spring gasket: usually used to keep the joint sealed when there must be expansion and contraction, vibration, loosening, etc.

The female connector is simple and easy to dismantle and install, no special tools are needed, just easy tightening by hand or spanner to complete the installation.

III. Classification

Female threaded connectors are classified according to their shape into three types: female hexagonal threaded connectors, female conical threaded connectors and female flat threaded connectors. Among them, female hexagonal thread connectors are suitable for smaller flow and relatively low pressure occasions; female conical thread connectors are suitable for high pressure and high flow occasions; female flat thread connectors are suitable for low pressure and small to medium flow occasions.

Female threaded connectors can also be subdivided into male and female connectors, flange connectors, three-way four-way connectors and other types, the specific choice should be for the actual use of requirements, a reasonable choice.
