As a top exporter, distributor, and stockist, Kaizen Steel Industries, offers a wide range of Socket Weld Union Fittings to meet customer needs.  Stainless Steel Socket Weld Unions are commonly used in low-pressure piping systems where frequent disassembly is required. 

A Forged Socket Weld Union is a three-piece fitting with two internal threads and a center piece that pulls the ends together when rotated. To prevent warping of the seats, the unions should be screwed tightly before welding the ends. ANSI B16.11 Socket Weld Union fittings can be customized to fit specific size requirements as requested by customers.

We are a leading manufacturer and supplier of ANSI B16.11 Socket Weld Unions, including Stainless Steel Socket Weld Unions. Our products adhere to the ASME B16.11 standard, which specifies tolerances, ratings, dimensions, marking, and material requirements for both socket-welding and threaded forged fittings. The SS 310 Socket Weld Union fittings are available in pressure classes 3000, 6000, and 9000 for socket-weld end fittings.

The ASME B16.11 specification should be used alongside other relevant ASME standards, such as the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the B31 Piping Codes, to ensure comprehensive compliance and performance.

A Duplex Steel Socket Weld Union is a pipe fitting used in piping systems. Welding this type of fitting to the pipe creates a permanent, leak-proof connection. These unions are available in sizes ranging from NPS ½ inch to 4 inches and come in various pressure classes including 2000#, 3000#, 6000#, 9000#, and 10000#. To choose the right size for your needs, refer to the socket weld union weight chart provided.

The ends of the socket weld union fitting are typically forged. Here are some advantages of using an ASME B16.11 Forged Socket Weld Union (Male x Female):

  • Cost-Effective: Socket weld unions are generally affordable.
  • Easy Installation: These unions are simple to install.
  • Removable Joints: They allow for easy disconnection between pipes.
  • Versatile: They can join pipes of different sizes as required.
  • Connection to Vessels: Duplex Steel Socket Weld Unions can also connect piping systems to vessels.
  • Leak-Proof: They provide a reliable, leak-proof connection.

Features of ASME B16.11 Socket Weld Unions:

  • Corrosion Resistance: Forged Socket Weld Unions offer excellent resistance to corrosion, which is crucial in piping systems. This resistance helps them withstand damage from chemical reactions and oxidation.
  • Durability: They are known for their durability, which, combined with their corrosion resistance, leads to a longer service life and better cost-effectiveness.
  • Weldability: ANSI B16.11 Forged Socket Weld Unions can be welded not only with similar materials but also with other materials. They also offer good formability.
