SW Full Coupling ASME B16.11 Pipe Fittings

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.

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

There are various grade for Stainless Steel Forged Pipe Fittings: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317, 347, 904L，1.4404, 1.4437.

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

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

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.

SW full coupling is used to connect two pipes.Couplings can be full coupling and half coupling.ASME B16.11 pipe fittings are forged fittings including SW fittings and THD fittings.Socket weld fittings have many pressures:CL3000,CL6000,CL9000.

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).

There are various types of ASME B16.11 socket-welding fittings, such as Elbow, Cross, Tee, Socked Weld Coupling , Half Coupling, Boss, Cap, Union and Sockolet.

Steel tee is a T-shaped pipe fitting with three branch pipes. It is used to divide pipes to adjust flow and change direction.

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

SW tees have two types:Equal and Reducing.SW fittings have same ranges of size(1/8”-4”) and pressures(2000lb,3000lb,6000lb,9000lb).Class 3000 is the most common used among these pressures.Class 3000 can be labeled as 3M,where M means 1000,class 3000 fittings can withstand up to 3000 PSI.

Socket Weld 90 Elbow is planned for wide utilize totally different industries like oil refineries, chemical processing, petrochemical, and numerous other businesses.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
