If you are threading one half inch diameter steel pipe and it is going between two female fittings how much pipe needs to be cut if your center to center distance between the fittings is nine inches?
I'm confused by your use of the term, center to center. I'm guessing you mean from the face of the fitting where the pipe threads in. You can usually screw in about 1/2 inch of pipe into a female fitting, so you would need 10 inches to end up with 9 in between. You can screw this together without a union in between? You can only put pipe together in one direction unless you use a union.
What is meant by fitting allowance?
The fitting allowance is the difference: (pipe end to fitting center measurement) minus (pipe end to end measurement). It is the amount of length the fitting adds to the end of the pipe (to get the center of the turn).
What is Pipe Fitting End Caps and who manufactures it?
Pipe Fitting End Caps are pushed to connect and are also the easiest way to cap off pipelines. They are used for pressure testing, stub outs, and can be installed on both wet or dry pipes. The pipe fitting that covers the end of a pipe is called end cap pipe fitting. Western Steel Agency is one of the most leading Pipe Fittings Manufacturer, Suppliers in India.

What are Pipe Fittings and who manufactures it?
Pipe fittings are components that are used to connect pipe sections with other fluid control products such as valves and pumps to form pipelines. The term fittings is commonly associated with those used for metal and plastic pipes that transport fluids. Other types of pipe fittings can also be used to connect pipes for handrails and other architectural elements where a leak-proof connection is not required. Depending on the material of the pipe, pipe fittings can be welded or threaded, mechanically joined, or chemically adhered, to name a few common mechanisms.

Are aqua pex fittings and super pex fittings the same?
I had the same question today. The answer is no. Aquapex had an aluminum casing and so the sharkbite fittings will not work on Aquapex. Now searching for aquapex fittings. Yes, the Sharkbite fittings work on Aquapex. I plumbed my cottage 3 years ago with Aquapex and fittings. Recently, I have had difficulty finding Aquapex fittings. My new work is done with Sharkbite fittings. These fit easily onto the Aquapex pipe. I have used tee joints and inline valves. As with Aquapex fittings, yo have to ensure that the pipe end is round first. Use the Aquapex reaming tool. ---------- The link below can give you a better understanding of PEX fittings types.
Why is water pressure less at one end of home than the other?
Friction losses through pipe and fittings and overcoming head pressure
How do you calculate the center of gravity of a pipe?
To calculate the center of gravity of a pipe, you will need to determine the geometric center of the pipe's cross-section. This is typically done by finding the midpoint of the diameter for a circular pipe cross-section. Next, consider the material density distribution within the pipe to pinpoint the location of the center of gravity. The final center of gravity position will be a balance point where the pipe can be considered to be concentrated.
