Kaizen Steel Industries is a manufacturer, distributor, and supplier of Socket Weld Caps. As an innovative ISO-certified company, Neo Impex uses responsive services to attract customers.

A Socket Weld fitting is a type of pipe fitting inserted into a recessed valve, fitting, or flange. A Stainless Steel Socket Weld Cap is a pipe fitting designed to seal the end of a pipe, stopping the flow of liquid or gas. It functions similarly to a plug and is known for its excellent corrosion resistance. These caps are mainly used for small pipe diameters.

Kaizen Steel Industries offers a wide range of Socket Weld Caps in various sizes to meet customer needs. We provide options for custom sizes based on individual requirements.

SS 310 Socket Weld Pipe Caps are used to cover the open end of a pipe. Typically, the BS3799 Socket Weld Forged Pipe Caps made at our factory are liquid- or gas-tight. These caps attach to the outside of a pipe and can have either a solvent-weld socket end or a female-threaded interior.

The exterior of an industrial ANSI B16.11 Forged Socket Weld Cap can come in various shapes, including square, round, rectangular, U-shaped, or I-shaped. Some may also have a handgrip. If a solvent-weld cap is used to prepare for a future connection, several inches of pipe should be left before the cap. This allows enough pipe to remain for attaching a new fitting later.

Socket weld fittings, like the Socket Weld Cap, are forged products and are classified by their pressure-temperature ratings. Stainless Steel Socket Weld Pipe Caps are available in sizes ranging from NPS 1/8 inch to 4 inches.

Fittings in Class 3000 and Class 6000 are available in both Threaded and Socket Weld types, including the ASME B16.11 Forged Socket Weld Pipe Cap. You can find more information about the weight of the ASME B16.11 cap here.

Class 9000 fittings are available only in the Socket Weld type, including the ASME B16.11.

Socket weld fittings, such as the socket weld end cap, are suitable for small bore applications. They are designed to handle media flow in smaller pipes at low pressures. These caps are used in environments where fittings are exposed to low-pressure piping.

The ASME B16.11 standard covers the ratings, dimensions, tolerances, marking, and material requirements for socket weld and threaded forged fittings. It includes detailed specifications for socket weld cap dimensions.
