AdminShort answer: To order pipework correctly you need the pipe material and schedule, fitting type and end connection, flange class and facing, and the bolt and gasket set that goes with them. Diode Trading EST is a pipes fittings and flanges supplier saudi arabia, and a pipe fittings distributor saudi arabia for fittings, with stock in Dammam and delivery across the GCC.
Mistakes in pipework orders are expensive: a wrong flange class, an incorrect facing or a missing gasket can hold up a shutdown. This guide sets out what to specify.

Pipes are defined by material, nominal size, wall thickness (schedule) and manufacturing standard. Carbon steel is the common general-purpose choice, stainless steel is used for corrosion resistance and hygiene, and plastic pipes such as PVC, polypropylene and HDPE suit chemical and water duties. Seamless pipe is usually specified for higher pressures, while welded pipe serves many general lines. Always provide the length, end finish (plain, bevelled or threaded) and the applicable standard.
Fittings change direction, size or branch the line: elbows, tees, reducers, caps, couplings and unions. Choose by:
Forged fittings are used for small bore, high-pressure lines, and wrought butt-weld fittings for larger pipework. Plastic fittings may be socket, threaded or flanged depending on the system.
Flanges connect pipes to equipment and make joints easy to open. Types include weld neck, slip-on, socket weld, threaded, blind and lap-joint flanges. Weld neck flanges are used in demanding service, slip-on flanges suit lower-pressure lines, and blind flanges close line ends.
Each flange is defined by size, pressure class or rating, facing (flat, raised face or ring-type joint), material and standard. Mating flanges must have compatible class and facing, or the joint will not seal.
A flange joint is a system. For industrial flanges bolts and fittings GCC projects usually require stud bolts with two nuts, selected by grade and length to suit flange thickness and gasket. The gasket type depends on the fluid, temperature and pressure: rubber, PTFE, graphite, non-asbestos fibre, spiral wound or ring joint. We can supply gaskets and sealing materials in the same order as your pipes and flanges.

We hold items at our Dammam warehouse and quote against availability. If you need material test certificates or other documents, say so in your enquiry; we will confirm what can be supplied for the item you need. Delivery covers Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC.
| Material | Typical use | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon steel | General process, utilities, structural | Needs protection against corrosion |
| Stainless steel | Corrosive, hygienic, high temperature | Select grade for the fluid |
| PVC / CPVC | Water, chemicals at low temperature | Temperature limits apply |
| PP / HDPE | Chemicals, water, effluent | Different joining methods |
Material choice affects the joining method, support spacing, thermal expansion and cost, so decide it before finalising fittings and flange types. If your design calls for a particular standard, mention it in your first message; this prevents substitution with similar-looking but non-equivalent items.
