Forging socket welding elbow 90 deg ASME B16.11

How Socket Welding Works and Classification of Socket Weld Coupling

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.

SPECIFICATION Of Socket Weld Elbows and its advantages.

What is a Socket weld cross and what about its specificaton and advantange.

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.

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.

The branch pipe has two outlets and is perpendicular to the main pipe. It is used to change the direction of the pipe so that the pipe is 90 degrees perpendicular to the pipe.

Carbon steel pipe fittings are used in many applications because of its great excellent functions.Carbon steel pipe fittings can manufactured as THD (threaded) fittings,SW (socket weld) fittings and (BW) butt welded fittings.The specifications are in the content below.

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.

Socket Weld half Coupling is a coupling with a socket weld only at one end, It is usually welded directly to the pipeline to form a branch connection. Coupling for joining a pipe to another of smaller diameter. Straight coupling connects two pipes end-to-end. It is used to supplement the infinite aluminum pipe.

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.

What is a SOCKET WELD-90 DEGREE ELBOW,what about its speicification and advantage

The main purpose of using pipe caps is to waterproof the connections. They are also used to close the the ends of hydraulic or pneumatic pipes and tubes. The use of Forged End Pipe Caps is common in many industries such as oil and gas industries, chemical industries and water supply lines.

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).

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.

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.

What is a Socket weld Uninon,what about its speicification 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.

SW half coupling is a type of socket weld coupling,the other type is full coupling.ASTM A182 F304 forged fittings are stinless steel pipe fittings used in many corrosive environments.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

Socket Weld Coupling material can be divided into carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless-steel.
Socket welding Pipe fittings are available in pressure ratings Class 3000, 6000, and 9000.
There are various types of  socket-welding Tube fittings, such as Elbow, Cross, Tee, Coupling, Half Coupling, Boss, Cap, Union and Sockolet

Equal  Elbow

Equal elbow is an elbow with the same diameter at both ends, which is characterized in that the pipeline connecting the two necks belongs to the same specification.

Reducing  Elbow

Reducing elbows connect two pipes of different diameters to reduce the diameter when the pipe rotates.

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