Forged Fitting
Forged Fittings are manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.11.Forged fittings are used for associating or connecting pipes, pumps, valves & other equipments to create a piping systems below size of 2 or 4 inches in diameter.
There are mainly two types of forged fittings called SOCKET-WELD FITTINGS which are connected to pipes by fillet welds and second one is THREADED FITTINGS in which the pipe is screwed onto the fittings.
The ASME B16.11, MSS SP 75, MSS SP 83, MSS SP 95 specifications cover forged fittings for both socket weld and threaded to fit ASME B36.10 and ASME B36.19 carbon, alloy, stainless steel and nickel-base alloy pipes of small bore size.
It is manufactured from solid blocks of steel, that are machined to obtain the final required shape within the tolerances set by the applicable specifications.
The class of the fitting represents the maximum allowed pressure that the device can withstand.
Class 3000 fittings are used for pipes in schedule 80/XS, Class 6000 for pipes in schedule 160, Class 9000 for pipes with larger wall thickness( XXS).
Forged Fittings joints are made by bolting together two forged Fittings with a gasket between them to provide a seal.
