Fasteners have a very significant place in machine design, and they are the indispensable elements of many sectors such as automotive, electrical electronics, metal industry. Pipe fittings are one of the basic types of fasteners, and the most significant feature of pipe fittings is that they provide impermeability. In the first part of the study, pipe fittings were designed and manufactured. In the second part of the study, experiments were conducted to analyze the effect of the surface roughness, fluid pressure and material type on the pipe fitting's sealing performance with the help of the measured torques that prevent leakage. In the following sections, this torque is referred to as sealing torque. Experimental results are consistent with mathematically calculated results and SolidWorks Simulation results. Additionally, it is thought that the result of the performed experiments in this study can help the pipe fitting manufacturers in terms of material and surface roughness selection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
