ASME B16.11 Forged Fittings Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings

ASTM A182 F316 socket weld couplings are used in many industires because stainless steel have a very long using period.SW fittings are belong to ASME B16.11 forged fittings,only can used with small size pipes in ASME Standard.The pressures have #3000,#6000,#9000 to choose.

High Pressure Tube 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.

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.

What is a socket weld elbow and why do socket welders need a gap?

Available at90 degree and 45-degree angles, these fittings allow pipe runs to change direction. SW elbows can be either short radius or long radius designs as required.

A182 SS304L sockolet can makes a 90 degree branch from the pipe system .It has full size and reducing size.Shanghai Zhucheng is a high quality steel pipe fittings factory to supply many types of flanges for years.

90 deg socket weld elbows are belong to ASME B16.11 stainless steel pipe fittings.SW elbows have two types:90 DEG and 45 DEG.SW pipe fittings including:Elbow, Tee, Cross, Coupling, Union, Cap, Reducing Insert, Sockolet.Three pressures for customers to choose:3000LB,6000LB,9000LB.

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.

Carbon Steel: ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH
Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92 / 22
Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317, 347, 904L，1.4404, 1.4437.
Duplex Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F51, F53, F44

What is a SW 45 degree elbow fittings ,and its specification and advantage.

Socket Weld Coupling material can be divided into carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless-steel, and the pressure ratings is Class 3000, 6000, and 9000.

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.

ASTM A105 Swage Nipple is a type of carbon Steel Pipe Fittings and commonly used for connection two pipes with different diameters. It belongs to pipe reducers and are used in small pipe size more often.

ASTM A106 lateral tee is a carbon steel pipe fitting which plays an important role in pipe systems.Class 3000 pipe fittings are very popular because the pressure can be manufacture in both THD fittings and SW fittings.

Flush Bushing: Flush bushing are used in piping systems. They are installed in the pipe to reduce the size of the pipe. Forged bushing is ideal for use with water and oil in chemical, petrochemical, pulp, paper, shipbuilding, waste incineration, and semiconductor industry applications.

Stainless steel socket weld couplings can be called simply as SS SW Couplings.ASME B16.11 forged fittings are the most used fittings all over the word because the American Standard are famous.Socket welded fittings can be provided 3000LB,6000LB,9000LB.

5in SW elbow is used to socketed with pipes and then welded on pipes.ASME B16.11 pipe fittings mean forged pipe fittings.Forged pipe fittings can be divided in socket weld fittings and threaded fittings.

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).

These pipe flanges are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top. This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. The connection with the pipe is done with 1 fillet weld, at the outside of the flange. But before welding, a space must be created between flange or fitting and pipe.

SW (socket weld) elbow is high pressure forged fitting which can used in many industries ‘ pipe systems.SW elbows have 90 deg and 45 deg.SW elbows have pressures: 3000LB,6000LB,9000LB.SS304 fittings are always used in chemical industries because of the excellent corrosion resistance.

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 (SW elbow) has 45 degree and 90 degree types, manufactured in forging processes and also has long radius (LR with 1.5 X OD) and short radius (SR with 1 X 0D) model, it has been a common socket weld fittings that used in the pipelines for changing the fluid directions.

SW tee can socketed with the pipes and welding with the pipes.ASME B16.11 fittings are forged fittings according to American Standard.Tees can be equal tee and reducing tee.These tees have same functions,the only difference is reducing tee can reduce the flow in piping system.
