Are you searching for manufacturers or suppliers of ceramic lined pipes or other related components and fittings? Whether you’re the purchasing officer, product engineer, or sales engineer for your company, you probably already have an ordering system, and maybe even have regular suppliers. However, if you’re searching for a new supplier, it’s good to know how to go about ordering ceramic coated pipes and tubes, and the questions to ask to ensure you’ll get the right component for your system.
First, you need to know the specifications, such as dimensions, of the part you need. When it comes to ordering ceramic coated pipes, fittings, and other similar products for your pneumatic conveying system, it’s important to make sure you specify correctly:
- The diameter of the pipes or tubes
- The non-dimensional number of wall thickness, known as the “schedule” for pipe OR the wall thickness, or “gauge” of tubing
- The lengths of the tubes or pipes
- The types of fittings
- Whether you need abrasion-resistant coating such as SHS ceramic, Ceramic tile and Ceramic sleeve lined
- The number of items to buy
It’s a good idea to make a regular inventory of components that you need to replace on a regular basis so you can purchase in advance. A pneumatic conveying component supplier will also be able to help you figure out dimensions and the type of components you need.
