Fountain fittings are quite often used when laying pipelines, as well as when performing work of this kind, taking place in different areas where drilling is necessary. You should consider this type of equipment in more detail.
Fountain fittings may have the following purpose. It is used for tying one or a number of pipelines, for monitoring and controlling the flow of medium in wells. With its help, it is possible to carry out work on sealing wells, as well as to make bends for flow lines. The use of this type of equipment greatly affects the productivity of work associated with laying pipelines.
Fountain fittings are usually used in certain conditions, for example, in conditions of
excessive pressure created by heavy loads. It is also used when there is a probability of exposure to aggressive media in wells. Quite often it is used for significant abrasive loads, when in water there are a large number of fractions of different rocks. The use of fountain fittings should be made taking into account the fact that this type of auxiliary equipment should have high strength and durability indicators. This equipment is used in
gas production and laying of oil pipelines.
Fountain fittings have certain characteristics. It can be of different types, since GOST provides for its use in different conditions. The design of this type of equipment includes elements such as a fountain tree and piping. Tying is carried out by directly tying one or more pipelines. The tasks of the piping are to control and control the environment in the well, as well as in the space between the pipes. The fountain tree controls its borehole flow, and it is placed on the piping.
Fountain fittings have a design feature that allows you to prevent and protect against any ingress of the contents of the pipeline into the soil, which protects the environment. This type of equipment is equipped with various locking devices, as well as chokes. The pipe head is another structural element of the fountain fittings.
The design of the fountain fittings allows you to suspend several rows of pipes belonging to the compressor-pump type to it. With the help of such a fastening, free access to the space behind the pipe is provided. Fountain fittings are cross-shaped or tee-shaped, each of which has certain advantages. The fittings of the tee type allow repair work on the structure without stopping the entire flow. Since this design is asymmetric, the possibility of tipping over is not ruled out. Positive qualities of cross reinforcement are a large level of stability, compactness. However, there is a drawback - it is impossible to make repairs in the well operating mode.
Water fittings have the same properties and characteristics as the fountain, with the difference that the working environment can only be water.
