Design And Fabrication Of Swivel Joint For Industrial Fluid Transfer Systems

Abstract

Swivel Joints Are Important Rotating Mechanical Components Used In Industrial, Agricultural, Marine, Chemical, And Hydraulic Piping Systems Where Rotational Movement Is Required Without Interrupting Fluid Transfer. This Paper Presents The Design, Fabrication, And Performance Analysis Of A Swivel Joint Capable Of Continuous 360-degree Rotational Movement. The Developed System Minimizes Hose Twisting, Reduces Leakage, Improves Flexibility, And Increases Operational Efficiency. The Work Includes Material Selection, CAD-based Conceptual Design, Fabrication Methodology, Assembly Process, Testing Procedures, And Result Analysis. Stainless Steel Swivel Joints Demonstrated Excellent Corrosion Resistance, Higher Pressure Handling Capability, And Long Service Life. The Study Also Discusses Future Developments Such As IoT-enabled Monitoring Systems, Predictive Maintenance, And Smart Sealing Technologies.
