Abstract— Pipe and ring fitting fixture is a conventional method used in various industries for large production units. Medium and small scale industries also use this conventional method. But different dimensions have been specified in various industries according to their applications. The present pipe fitting system uses manual and automated system for their production unit according to their purpose. By using this method we can get maximum output. In industries, the main problem is the usage of electric current, waste of time, differ in their accuracy, labor rework for fitting in accurate dimensions. These problems can be overcome by using pipe and ring fitting by screw mechanism and thereby protecting the environment. The present paper deal with the study of various pipes and ring fitting fixture using different materials is discussed. The pipe fitting fixture have advantages over than other methods, such as compact in size, less work, no need of rework, maintaining accuracy, no additional part is used and usage of current is reduced, human efforts is also reduced with specified dimensions.

I. INTRODUCTION

It is one of the methods for fitting cylindrical ring of specified dimension into the circular hollow pipe of definite length with a smaller rectangular hole on the top surface at a specified distance. Pipe fitting fixture is a conventional method most commonly used in all kinds of industries for their requirements, each industry uses their specified dimensions and different materials based on their applications, different kind of rings can be fitted into the desired pipe of specific diameter or radius. The fitting of pipe and ring can be done easily by the application of screw jack (bolt with a nut as per required in the system) mechanism of standard length and diameter based on the application of pipe fitting fixture methods.
