    The document discusses various types of pipe appurtenances used in water distribution systems, including elbows, tees, crosses, reducers, valves, taps, and stop cocks. Elbows allow changes in pipe direction, tees split or combine flow, crosses connect four pipes, and reducers connect pipes of different diameters. Common valves described are butterfly valves, gate valves, and globe valves, which are used to control flow and vary in applications, sizing, and materials. Taps and stop cocks are used to draw off or shut off water from pipes.

    Water supply pipe Appurtenance

    Distribution pipes are provided with some accessories so as to make the distribution of
    water easy and effective and are known as pipe appurtenances. Example are Taps,
    cocks, valve etc.
    ELBOW: a pipe fitting installed between two lengths of
    pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually 45, 90
    or 180 degrees.

    REDUCING ELBOW: an elbow used to increase water


    pressure connecting two pipes of different diameter.
    Reducing Elbow

    180 Degree Elbow 45 Degree Elbow 90 Degree Elbow


    Tee:
    A Tee is used to either combine or
    split a fluid flow, connecting three
    pipes at same time, most common
    type are tees with the same inlet
    and outlet sizes.

    TEE REDUCING TEE

    Cross:
    A cross has one inlet and three outlets, or vice versa. It
    connects four pipes at a time.

    Clamp/ Lap joint:


    It is used when two new pipes are connected from the ends.
    Concentric reducer:
    It is used to connect two pipes of different diameter
    concentrically.

    Eccentric reducer:
    It is also used to connect two pipes of different
    diameter but not concentrically.
    1. Butterfly valve: Valve used in a variety of systems aboard ship

    Best suited control: 


    linear, equal percentage

    Applications: 
    liquids, gases, slurries, liquids with
    suspended solids
    Advantages:                       
    1.  Low cost and maint.       
    2.  High capacity flows               
    3.  Good flow control
    4.  Low pressure drop

    Disadvantages:
    1.High torque required for control
    2.Prone to cavitation at lower flows
    2. Gate valve: Ball valves, as the name implies, are stop
    valves that use a ball to stop or start the flow
    of fluid.

    Best suited control:


    quick opening
    Applications:
    oil, gas, air, slurries, heavy liquids, steam,
    noncondensing gases, and corrosive
    liquids

    Advantages:                        
    1. Low cost  
    2. High capacity
    3. Tight shutoff
    4. Little resistance to flow         
    Disadvantages:
    1.Poor control
    2.Cavitate at low pressure drops
    3.Cannot be used for throttling
    Globe valves are probably the most common
    3. Globe valve: valves in existence. The globe valve derives its
    name from the globular shape of the valve body.

    Best suited control:  linear and equal


    Types of globe valve bodies percentage

    Applications:  liquids, vapours, gases,


    corrosive substances, slurries

    Advantages:  
    1. Efficient throttling
    2. Accurate flow control
    3. Available in multiple ports  
          
    Disadvantages:
    1.High pressure drop
    2.More expensive than other valves
