Production Description:
The description "3" Swivel, Style 50 MxF, WP: 15K" refers to a specific type of swivel used in cementing applications for pipe fittings. Here's a breakdown of the components mentioned:
1. Size: "3"" indicates the size of the swivel, which means it has a diameter of 3 inches. This measurement is important for ensuring compatibility and proper fit with other pipe fittings or equipment.
2. Style 50: "Style 50" refers to the specific design or model of the swivel. The style number can vary depending on the manufacturer or industry standards.
3. MxF: "MxF" stands for "Male x Female," indicating the type of connection the swivel has. The male end typically has external threads, while the female end has internal threads, allowing the swivel to connect with other pipe fittings or equipment.
4. WP: 15K: "WP" stands for "Working Pressure," and "15K" indicates the maximum working pressure rating of the swivel. In this case, the swivel is designed to withstand a working pressure of 15,000 pounds per square inch (psi). This rating is important to ensure the swivel can handle the pressure requirements of the cementing application.
In cementing applications, swivels are often used to connect and provide rotational movement between different sections of the cementing equipment, such as cementing hoses, pumps, or manifolds. The swivel allows for flexibility and movement while maintaining a seal and preventing leaks during the cementing process.
