Fittings used to connect a straight run of the same size piping are typically referred to as **couplings**. There are different types of couplings, including:
1. **Plain Couplings**: These are simple cylindrical fittings used to align and connect straight sections of pipe.
2. **Threaded Couplings**: These have male and female threads on either end, allowing two threaded pipes to be joined.
3. **Welded Couplings**: These are used for joining pipes in a welded configuration, ensuring a strong, permanent connection.
4. **Compression Couplings**: These use a compression mechanism to join two pipe ends together while allowing for some movement and flexibility.
5. **Socket Weld Couplings**: These fit over the ends of the pipes and are permanently joined through welding.
These fittings are essential for maintaining fluid flow in piping systems, preventing leaks, and allowing for easy maintenance and repair.
