Forged Pipe Fittings
High-pressure small-bore piping runs on forged fittings because a fitting body must be as strong as the pipe it joins. Forged construction handles the pressure classes where cast or fabricated alternatives are simply not permitted.

Standards and Classes
Elbows, tees, crosses, couplings, half couplings, unions, caps and plugs to ASME B16.11 in 3000#, 6000# and 9000# classes, socket weld and threaded, from 1/8 inch to 4 inch nominal bore.
- ASME B16.11 conformance
- 3000#, 6000#, 9000# classes
- Socket weld and NPT threaded
- 1/8" to 4" nominal bore
Socket and Thread Accuracy
Socket bore diameter and depth control the weld gap that the code requires; NPT threads are cut and gauge verified. Both are dimensions installers discover immediately if a supplier has been careless.
Material Traceability
A105 carbon steel, F304 and F316 stainless with heat number marking and EN 10204 3.1 certification, so fittings can be traced years later during a plant integrity audit.
People also ask
What pressure classes do you produce fittings in?
3000#, 6000# and 9000# to ASME B16.11, in sizes from 1/8 inch to 4 inch nominal bore.
Why does socket weld depth matter?
The pipe must bottom out then be withdrawn roughly 1.6 mm before welding, so the gap absorbs thermal expansion. Without it the weld root cracks.

Questions Answered
Which fittings do you manufacture?
+
Elbows, tees, crosses, couplings, half couplings, unions, caps and plugs in socket weld and threaded configurations.
Are threads gauge verified?
+
Yes, NPT threads are checked with go/no-go ring and plug gauges before dispatch.
Do you stock standard fittings?
+
Common sizes are produced to schedule; non-standard items are made to order with short lead times.
Can you supply stainless fittings?
+
Yes, F304 and F316 with segregated handling to prevent carbon contamination.
