Stainless Steel Socket Weld and Threaded Fittings

Stainless Steel Socket Weld and Threaded Fittings conforming to ASME B16.11 are critical components in piping systems where corrosion resistance and high strength are essential. They are used in various industries, including chemical processing, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals. Below is a detailed overview of the specifications, types, and grades for stainless steel socket weld and threaded fittings as per ASME B16.11.Stainless Steel Socket Weld and Threaded Fittings1. Overview• Standard: ASME B16.11• Material: Stainless Steel• Types: Socket Weld Fittings and Threaded Fittings2. Types of FittingsSocket Weld Fittings:• Elbows: Change the direction of the pipe.o 90° Elbowo 45° Elbow• Tees: Connect three pipes.o Equal Tee: All three outlets are the same size.o Reducing Tee: One outlet is a different size.• Couplings: Join two pipes of the same size.o Full Couplingo Half Coupling• Unions: Allow for easy disconnection of piping.• Plugs and Caps: Seal the end of a pipe or fitting.Threaded Fittings:• Elbows: Change the direction of the pipe.o 90° Elbowo 45° Elbow• Tees: Connect three pipes.o Equal Teeo Reducing Tee• Couplings: Join two pipes of the same size.o Full Couplingo Half Coupling• Bushings: Reduce the size of a fitting.• Plugs and Caps: Seal the end of a pipe or fitting.• Unions: Allow for easy disconnection of piping.3.
