    Stainless Steel Sheet Buttweld Fittings

    Stainless steel sheet butt weld fittings are essential components used to connect stainless steel pipes and tubes in piping systems. These fittings are welded to the pipe or tube end for a secure and leak-free connection, ensuring integrity in various industrial applications. They are manufactured from stainless steel sheets through forming and welding processes, offering robustness and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel sheet butt weld fittings are fabricated using forming techniques such as hot forming or cold forming, followed by welding to ensure a robust joint.

    Carbon Steel Pipe Buttweld Fittings

    Carbon steel pipe butt weld fittings are essential components used to connect carbon steel pipes and tubes in various industrial piping systems. These fittings are welded to the pipe or tube ends for a secure and leak-free connection, ensuring structural integrity and reliability in applications ranging from oil and gas to chemical processing. Carbon steel pipe butt weld fittings are fabricated through hot forming processes such as bending and forming, followed by welding to ensure a strong and permanent joint. They adhere to standards such as ASTM A234/A234M (Specification for Piping Fittings of Wrought Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel for Moderate and High Temperature Service) and ASME B16.9 (Factory-Made Wrought Steel Buttwelding Fittings).

    Duplex Steel Buttweld Fittings

    Duplex steel butt weld fittings, on the other hand, are designed to connect duplex stainless steel pipes or tubes in a piping system. These fittings are welded to the ends of pipes to create a secure, leak-proof joint. They come in various types such as elbows, tees, reducers, and caps, each serving specific functions in piping systems. Duplex stainless steel butt weld fittings are widely used in industries requiring high corrosion resistance and strength. These fittings are suitable for aggressive environments where conventional stainless steels may fail, such as in offshore oil and gas, chemical processing, and marine applications. Duplex steel butt weld fittings are manufactured and tested according to international standards such as ASTM A815 (Standard Specification for Wrought Ferritic, Ferritic/Austenitic, and Martensitic Stainless Steel Piping Fittings) and ASME B16.9 (Factory-Made Wrought Steel Buttwelding Fittings).
