Stainless steel buttweld pipe fittings

Stainless steel butt-welded pipe fittings are pipe fittings manufactured through hot forming or cold forming processes. Common types include elbows, tees, reducers, and heads, etc. These pipe fittings usually comply with the ASME B16.9 standard and are suitable for pipe sizes ranging from 1/2 inch to 48 inches.

We use high-quality raw materials and aim to produce high-quality products for our customers. We can also provide stainless steel fittings according to the specific requirements of customers, ensuring the supply of high-quality products at competitive prices and offering comprehensive services to customers.

Materials and Properties

Commonly used stainless steel material including 304, 304 l, 316 l and 316. Among them, 304 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and strength, and is suitable for general industrial environments. 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which enhances its resistance to chlorides and other corrosive media, making it suitable for more demanding environments such as chemical engineering and Marine applications.

The stainless steel butt-welded pipe fittings of these materials have the following performance characteristics:
High strength and pressure resistance: Capable of withstanding high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
Outstanding corrosion resistance: It performs exceptionally well in corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and salts.
Good hygiene performance: The inner surface is smooth and not prone to bacterial growth, making it suitable for the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry.

Common types of stainless steel butt-welded pipes:

Elbow (Elbows) : used to change the direction of a pipe. Common angles are 45° and 90°.
Tees: Used to branch the main pipe in two directions.
Reducers: They are used to connect pipes of different diameters and come in two types: concentric and eccentric.
Caps: Used to seal the end of a pipe.
Stub Ends: Used in conjunction with lap flanges, they are convenient for disassembly and cleaning.
Cross pipe (Crosses) : used to divide a pipe into three directions.

Stainless steel butt-welded pipe fittings are widely used in the following industries:

Chemical and petrochemical industries: Used for transporting corrosive media.
Food and beverage processing: Compliant with hygiene standards and suitable for clean environments.
Pharmaceutical industry: Used in production environments with high cleanliness requirements.
Water treatment and sewage treatment: Corrosion-resistant, suitable for various water treatment systems.
Papermaking and pulp industry: Used for conveying pulp and chemicals.
Nuclear industry and shipbuilding: Suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature and highly corrosive environments.

Summary of Advantages

Firm connection: Welded connections offer a more stable structure and reduce the possibility of leakage.
Low fluid resistance: The inner surface is smooth, reducing fluid resistance and pressure loss.
Low maintenance cost: Strong corrosion resistance, long service life, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

Strong adaptability: Suitable for various complex pipeline systems and harsh working environments.
