Global Report on Manifolds Market

The worldwide advancement in offshore and onshore oil and gas sectors is resulting to the manifolds market emergence. Oil and gas manifolds are designed to allow oil and gas flow from the separator to several points as per desire. A manifold forms an important building block to support the offshore oil and gas infrastructure. It is a distribution system for fluids from one point to another. A manifold system is composed of several components, which include pipes or tubes, fittings, expansion chambers, valves, flexible connectors, and other instruments. The basic movement of fluid is facilitated by the pipes or tubes. Fittings such as trees, plugs, elbows are used to fit the pipes to the manifold system. The function of an expansion chamber is to prevent pipeline leakage and prolong the seal life of manifolds. The expansion chamber allows the pipeline to expand up to a certain limit to combat pressure increase in the manifold systems. Valves are included to control the fluid flow throughout such systems. The flexible connectors bend easily to connect containers to manifolds or manifolds to other fixed device. Other instruments include pressure gauges, switches and several other devices required to control and monitor the fluid flow throughout the manifolds. The manifold systems are made of such materials that can tolerate the harsh operating conditions.
