- Brazed Joint
-
Any joint obtained by joining of metal parts with alloys that melt at temperatures higher than 840°F (449°C) but lower than the melting temperature of the parts being joined.
- Compression Joint
-
Any multipiece joint with cup-shaped threaded nuts that, when tightened, compress tapered sleeves so that they form a tight joint on the periphery of the tubing they connect.
- Flanged Joint
-
One made by bolting together a pair of flanged ends.
- Flared Joint
-
Any metal-to-metal compression joint in which a conical spread is made on the end of a tube that is compressed by a flare nut against a mating flare.
- Mechanical Joint
-
General form for gas-tight joints obtained by the joining of metal parts through a positive holding mechanical construction (such as flanged joint, screwed joint or flared joint).
- Soldered Joint
-
A joint made by the joining of metal parts with metallic mixtures or alloys that melt at a temperature up to and including 840°F (449°C).
