Tubing Points: Types & Locations

[venkataramana]

Can someone help on the following topic:

Different types of tubing points (ASPT, CLPT, JBKT, INDF, INTP, SLVE, JPT3, ENDPT, CLENV, TUBENDPT, and OFPT) and location of these points on the tubing parts.

thanks,
venkat

Hi venk'. I'm familiar with probably the vast majority of different types of tube fittings but I honestly haven't seen a single one of your abreviations before. Also, have no idea what you mean by "and location of these points on the tubing parts." I suspect there's either a language barrier here or you're looking at something in a CAD program that has unique abreviations for different types of common fittings. Maybe you could explain in more detail what you're looking for.

Sure, I'd be happy to help with this topic.

Tubing points refer to specific locations on tubing parts that are used for various purposes, such as connecting different sections of tubing or attaching other components. There are several types of tubing points, each with its own unique function. Let's go through some of the most common types and their locations on tubing parts.

1. ASPT (Axially Split Point): This type of tubing point is located at the end of a tube and is used for connecting two tubes together in a straight line. It is also known as a butt joint.

2. CLPT (Clamped Point): This point is located on the side of a tube and is used for connecting two tubes together at an angle. It is often used in structures that require flexibility or movement.

3. JBKT (Jacketed Point): This type of point is located on the outside of a tube and is used for connecting a jacket or insulation around the tube.

4. INDF (Indented Point): This point is located on the inside of a tube and is used for connecting a smaller tube or component inside the larger tube.

5. INTP (Intersecting Point): This point is located at the intersection of two tubes and is used for connecting them together.

6. SLVE (Sleeve Point): This type of point is located on the outside of a tube and is used for connecting a sleeve or coupling to the tube.

7. JPT3 (Joint Point): This point is located at the end of a tube and is used for connecting three tubes together.

8. ENDPT (End Point): As the name suggests, this point is located at the end of a tube and is used for closing off the end of the tube.

9. CLENV (Clevis Point): This point is located on the outside of a tube and is used for attaching a clevis or bracket to the tube.

10. TUBENDPT (Tube End Point): This point is also located at the end of a tube and is used for attaching a cap or plug to seal the end of the tube.

11. OFPT (Offset Point): This point is located on the side of a tube and is used for connecting two tubes together at an offset angle.

The location of these points on tubing parts may vary depending on the specific application and design. It is important to carefully consider the type and location of tubing points when designing or working with tubing systems
