INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Pipe Body

The main structural element of a blow pipe that provides the conduit for compressed air or gas flow in industrial applications.

Component Specifications

Definition
The pipe body is the primary cylindrical component of a blow pipe assembly, designed to withstand internal pressure while maintaining structural integrity during operation. It serves as the main flow path for compressed air or gases in pneumatic systems, connecting the air source to the nozzle or outlet point. Engineered with precise dimensional tolerances to ensure optimal flow characteristics and pressure retention.
Working Principle
Operates as a pressure vessel that contains and directs compressed air or gas flow from the inlet to the outlet. The internal diameter and surface finish minimize turbulence and pressure drop, while the wall thickness provides structural strength against internal pressure and external mechanical stresses.
Materials
Typically manufactured from carbon steel (ASTM A106 Grade B), stainless steel (AISI 304/316), aluminum alloys (6061-T6), or engineered polymers (PVC, nylon) depending on pressure requirements and environmental conditions. Materials are selected based on corrosion resistance, pressure rating, and compatibility with conveyed media.
Technical Parameters
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 3.2 μm internal
  • Wall Thickness Schedule 40/80 standard
  • Connection Type Threaded (NPT, BSP), flanged, or quick-connect
  • Pressure Rating 150-300 PSI standard
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 120°C
Standards
ISO 1179, DIN 2353, ASME B36.10M

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main failure modes for blow pipe bodies?

Common failures include internal corrosion from moisture in compressed air, fatigue cracking at connection points, erosion from particulate matter in the airflow, and deformation from over-pressurization.

How do I select the right material for a blow pipe body?

Consider operating pressure, temperature, chemical compatibility with conveyed media, environmental conditions (corrosive atmospheres), and required durability. Stainless steel offers best corrosion resistance, aluminum provides lightweight strength, and polymers work for lower pressure applications.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
