ASME B16.11 6IN 3000# Socket Weld Elbow

Threaded fittings are available in pressure ratings Class 2000, 3000, and 6000; Socket welding fittings are available in pressure ratings Class 3000, 6000, and 9000. Generally, both fittings size range is 1/8″- 4″or DN6-DN100.

SW elbow is used to socket with the end of pipe and welding on it.Socket weld elbow is belong to forged fittings which are used as high pressure fittings,SW fittings can be 2000lb,3000lb,6000lb.

According to its radius of curvature, there are long radius elbow and short radius elbow. Long radius elbow refers to its radius of curvature is equal to 1.5 times the outside diameter of the pipe, that is, R=1.5D; A short radius elbow means that its radius of curvature is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe, that is, R= 1.0d.(D is the diameter of the elbow, and R is the radius of curvature).

socket pipe fittings are a commonly used type of pipe fittings. The main feature is the socket structure.It consists of a socket and a spigot.

A105N class 3000 socket weld elbow is belong to ASME B16.11 forged fitting.These elbows can be 45 deg and 90 deg,and they can also be straight or reducing types.

Socket welded elbow can socket with pipes and welded on pipes.SW fittings are belong to forged fittings,the other type of forged fitting is threaded fittings.Forged fittings are high pressure fittings used in many applications.

It is usually welded directly to the pipeline to form a branch connection. Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation, however there are torque-limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit is exceeded.

Socket weld Elbow forged fitting has varieties of features such as reliability, durability and dimensional precision.

ASME B16.11 is the standard contains ratings, dimensions, tolerances, marking and material requirements for forged fittings, both socket-welding and threaded. Threaded fittings are available in pressure ratings Class 2000, 3000, and 6000; Socket welding fittings are available in pressure ratings Class 3000, 6000, and 9000.

A Socket Weld Tube Fittings is a pipe attachment detail in which a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of a Valve, fitting or flange. Once correctly inserted, fillet type sealing welds are applied to join the pipe to the fitting.

Different from buttweld fittings, Socket Weld fittings are mainly used for small pipe diameters (Small Bore Piping); generally, for piping whose nominal diameter is NPS 2 or smaller.

ASME B16.11 forged fittings are popular because of the famous American Standard and the variety products.Socket weld (SW) fittings and threaded (THD) fittings are both forged fittings.Stainless steel pipe fittings are always chosen in corrosive and chemical environments.

An equal tee, otherwise called straight tee, means the branch diameter of this tee is same with the main pipe (Run pipe) diameter of this tee.
A pipe tee is defined “equal” when the bore size at the run and branch sides have the same diameter. An equal tee is, therefore, used to connect two pipes of the same nominal diameter.

High Pressure Pipe Fittings is available in Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel. Different from buttweld fittings, Socket Weld fittings are mainly used for small pipe diameters (Small Bore Piping); generally, for piping whose nominal diameter is NPS 2 or smaller.

Features of Pipe cross:

Socket weld Elbow forged fitting has varieties of features such as reliability, durability and dimensional precision.

A182 F316 hex nipples are short nipples made of stainless steel and have a hexagonal structure. This type of nipples plays a key role in pipeline connections and can meet the needs of different pipeline designs. Common types of stainless steel hexagonal nipples include equal-diameter hexagonal nipples and reducing-diameter hexagonal nipples.

There are two types of tees:Equal Tee and Reducing Tee.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

Stainless steel sockolet is belong to forged pipe fittings,the most used pressure is Class3000.In addition,there are also class6000,class9000 for the stainless steel sockolet.
