Socket welding Tee ASME B16.11 Straight Reducing Tee

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.

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.

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.

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.

CL3000 socket weld tees are the most used pressure pipe fittings because of the wide using range.ASME B16.11 forged pipe fittings are including SW and THD fittings.

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.

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

Elbow is a pipe fitting that changes the direction of piping. According to the Angle, there are 45° and 90°180° three most commonly used. Elbow material can be divided into carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless-steel.

A182 F316 socket weld fittings are popular stainless steel forged fittings because of the superior anti-corrosive function.SW fittings including Elbow, Tee, Cross, Coupling, Union, Cap, Reducing Insert, Sockolet.

Socket weld pipe fittings are pipe connectors made of round steel or steel ingots after forging and then lathe machining. The main connection form is socket welding (SW), which is to insert the steel pipe into the socket hole for welding.

Socket weld pipe fittings is a family member of forged steel fittings, which used for small bore pipes and piping systems (generally below 4 inches). We usually manufacture them according to ASME B16.11 standard.

ASTM A182 F316 is a popular grade for stainless steel in American Standard.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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.

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.

A Socket Weld 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.

Stainless steel SW elbow used socket connection with pipes and then welded on the pipes.ASTM A182 F304 is a commonly used grade for stainless steel fittings.Stainless steel pipe fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

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 weld 45 deg lateral tees are belong to pipe tees,but is a special type of pipe tees.These lateral tees could change the direction in 45 degree of the pipes.

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.

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.
