Pipe screw fittings¶
Pipe screw fittings are very frequently used elements for the detachable connection of pipeline parts or for the detachable insertion of armatures. In addition, pipe screw fittings are also used for laying pipes and for sealing off pipelines.
The most common types of pipe screw fittings used in mechanical engineering and plant construction can be called up directly with ELITECAD using their DIN standard and then inserted into the construction.
Create pipe screw fitting¶
Standard parts toolbar | |
ME-Objects menu > Standard parts > Pipe screw fitting |
With a click on the TOOLS > STANDARD PARTS > CREATE PIPE SCREW FITTING in the toolbar or by selecting ME-OBJECTS > STANDARD PARTS > PIPE SCREW FITTING in the menu bar, the settings of the last pipe screw fitting drawn are active in the parameter window and the standard part can be set immediately.
Pipe screw fittings property bar¶
The property bar is visible as soon as an existing pipe screw fitting is selected for editing. Clicking on the pipe screw fitting activates the property bar and the main values of the depiction of the pipe screw fitting can be manipulated. Using the icon , the associated parameter window opens and all available values of the pipe screw fitting can be modified.

Depiction (see General parameters)
Pipe screw fitting parameters¶
Decide whether the pipe fitting should be created in 2D or in 3D.
Tip
Specify the nominal diameter value first and then the values for the other selection parameters. The selection window will only offer values that are available to the selected standard.
The completed dialog is confirmed with . This means that the pipe screw fitting is dynamically active at the cursor for positioning in the drawing. The reference point depends on the type of pipe screw fitting, with the pipe centre axis usually serving as the reference point. The function is ended when it is positioned within the construction. The function call can be opened repeatedly for other identical pipe fittings. The last input parameters are retained and are suggested the next time it is opened.
Display¶
Text field¶
Display of the standard designation of the pipe screw fitting
Input values¶
The input fields available differ depending on the standards.
Thread¶
Inch or metric thread of the pipe screw fitting in standard increments
Outside pipe diameter¶
Outside pipe diameter of the pipe screw fittings in standard increments
Shape of the spigot¶
The shape of the spigot indicates the respective construction of the pipe screw fitting. This can be, for example, A straight shape (AA), tee- shape (M) or F angle shape (F).
Form¶
The form indicates the respective construction of the pipe screw fitting. This can, for example, be a union nut.
Model series¶
The pipe screw fittings are produced in three model series, very light (LL), light (L) (up to approx. 350 bar) and heavy S (up to approx. 600 bar).
Thread abbreviation¶
Inch or metric thread of the pipe screw fitting in standard increments as an abbreviation
Shape of threaded spigot¶
The shape of the threaded spigot indicates the respective construction of the pipe screw fitting. This can be, for example, A straight shape, (AA), tee- shape(M) or F angle shape (F).
Threaded spigot¶
Inch or metric thread of the pipe screw fitting in standard increments
Orientation angle¶
Angle of the pipe screw fitting relative to the X-axis in the 2D representation
