Spiral welding can be used in the remanufacturing process to repair and improve products. Improvements can be made to the component through this process by using a selection of advanced overlay materials; this is based on two broad criteria: [1] A match of the parent material with a filler wire of the same or closest available selection material.
In 2000, American opened American SpiralWeld Pipe Company in Columbia, South Carolina, diversifying its product line to include spiral-welded steel pipe in diameters up to 144 inches (3,700 mm). In 2015, American began operations at a new spiral-welded pipe production facility in Flint, Michigan. A third facility opened in Paris, Texas, in 2021.
Larger electrical cable that has stranded aluminum wires with an outer sheath used for service entrance feeders from a meter to a panel. In the United States, solid aluminum wires made with AA-8000 series aluminum alloy are allowed for 15 A or 20 A branch circuit wiring according to the National Electrical Code. [9]
The most common process pipe joint is the butt weld. The ends of pipe to be welded must have a certain weld preparation called an End Weld Prep (EWP) which is typically at an angle of 37.5 degrees to accommodate the filler weld metal. The most common pipe thread in North America is the National Pipe Thread (NPT) or the Dryseal (NPTF
Box connectors join conduit to a junction box or other electrical box. A typical box connector is inserted into a knockout in a junction box, with the threaded end then being secured with a ring (called a lock nut ) from within the box, as a bolt would be secured by a nut.
Partially-welded steel pipe joint. The welding of metals differs from soldering and brazing in that the joint is made without adding a lower-melting-point material (e.g. solder); instead, the pipe or tubing material is partially melted, and the fitting and piping are directly fused. This generally requires piping and fitting to be the same (or ...
Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines. The outer strands are high-purity aluminium , chosen for its good conductivity, low weight, low cost, resistance to corrosion and decent mechanical stress resistance.
