What is MS Buttweld & Forge Fitting
Buttweld fittings are components that are welded to the ends of pipes through a butt welding process. The butt welding ensures a strong and leak-resistant connection. Common types of buttweld fittings include elbows, tees, reducers, and caps. These fittings are crucial for changing the direction of flow, joining or splitting pipes, and closing the ends of pipes.
Forge fittings are components that are forged, meaning they are shaped by heating metal and then applying pressure through forging processes like hammering or pressing. Forged fittings are known for their strength, toughness, and resistance to impact and fatigue. These fittings are often used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
Types of MS Buttweld Fittings
There are various types of fittings, each designed for specific applications and connection requirements. Common types include:
- Elbows
- Tees
- Reducers
- Caps
- Crosses
- Lap Joint Stub Ends
Examples of MS Buttweld & Forge Fittings include:
- MS Buttweld Elbows: Used for changing the direction of the pipeline.
- MS Buttweld Tees: Used for combining or splitting the flow of fluids.
- MS Buttweld Reducers: Used for connecting pipes of different diameters.
- MS Buttweld Caps: Used for closing the end of a pipe.
- MS Forged Couplings: Forged fittings that provide a threaded or socket-weld connection.
