Fifth In A Series
Engineering and construction firms specializing in pulp and paper applications specify "Belled-End" fittings for on-site installation of stainless steel piping systems. Brown + Root, B.E.+K., Fluor-Daniels, Rust Engr., J.E. Sirrine, Simons and other major engineering firms specify "Belled-End" fittings for field installation of air, water and lube oil lines. George Schmid, Simons-Eastern, described "Belled-End" fittings as, "the most forgiving piping system he had ever experienced". "Forgiving" would be translated today into "user-friendly". "Belled-End" fittings are easy to install. Nearly all weld prep and fit-up is eliminated, misalignment and wall mismatch problems are eliminated, and fillet-welding is four to seven times faster than butt-welding. Added all together "Belled-End" fittings deliver $aving$ in time and more importantly, $aving$ in monies.
