ASTM A403 WP304 ASME B16.11 Forged SW High Pressure Stainless Steel Socket Welding Cross

ASTM A403 WP304 ASME B16.11 Forged SW High Pressure Stainless Steel Socket-Welding Cross

Product Information

Forged SW Socket Weld Cross - Stainless Steel
Crafted from premium stainless steel, this forged socket weld cross offers superior corrosion resistance and longevity. It features socket weld connections on all four ends, providing a robust and leak-proof joint. The cross design allows for the efficient branching or merging of pipelines in compact spaces. It is suitable for applications in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and food processing, where hygiene and corrosion resistance are crucial. The forged SW socket weld cross in stainless steel ensures reliable performance, easy installation, and a durable connection for demanding piping systems.

Standards & Materials: ASTM A403

ASTM A403 Stainless Steel Pipe Fittings refers to the material of forged and rolled austenitic stainless fittings for pressure pipes. Common grades are WP304/L, WP316/L. They can be used into many fields as engineering industry, energy conversion plants etc.

ASTM A403 Chemical Compositions (%)

Note:

• Where a ellipsis(﹍)appears in the table, there is no requirement and the element need to be analyzed for or reported
• The method of analysis for nitrogen shall be a matter of agreement between the purchaser and manufacturer
• Columbium 0.10-0.30%; Vanadium 0.10-0.30%.
• For small diameter or thin walls, or both, where many drawing passes are required, a carbon maximum of 0.04% is necessary in grades TP304L and TP316L. Small outside diameter tubes are defined as those less than 0.500in.(23.7mm) in outside diameter and light wall tubes as those less than 0.049in.(1.24mm) in average wall thickness

Oil and Gas Industry: Stainless steel socket weld crosses are widely used in oil and gas exploration, production, and refining processes. They are employed in pipelines, refineries, petrochemical plants, and offshore platforms, where they provide a reliable and corrosion-resistant connection for transferring fluids and gases.

Chemical Processing: Stainless steel socket weld crosses find application in chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other industries that deal with corrosive chemicals. They offer excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive substances, ensuring the integrity of the piping system and preventing contamination.
