The internal surface roughness of pipe fittings significantly affects fluid flow efficiency, corrosion resistance, and contaminant accumulation. Key factors include:
-
Surface Roughness and Pressure Drop: Smooth surfaces reduce turbulence and frictional losses, crucial for high-efficiency piping systems.
-
Electropolishing for Sanitary Applications: Used in pharmaceutical and food-grade fittings to prevent bacterial adhesion.
-
Protective Coatings: Nickel-phosphorus coatings enhance wear resistance in chemical and offshore applications.
