English term

welded/unwelded - bolded/non bolded pipes

English Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting pipes
Dear colleagues,

what't the difference between unwelded pipes and non bolded pipes?

I've some problems when translating into italian, and I'd like to understand the technical difference.

thanks in advance

Misprint: bolted/non-bolted

Lenghts of pipe can be joined together at their end flanges by welding, or by fitting bolts in holes in the flanges and tightening nuts onto them.

agree Ramesh Madhavan : There are 3 ways of joining two metal pieces. You can melt the joining portion (weld), hold them with Nut and Bolt (Bolted) OR mould (by pressure) a piece if metal through matching holes. London Bridge is Rivetted!

Thank you. Yes, riveting is another way. You can also join sections of pipeline by tightening a sleeve round the flanges.
