Product Name & StandardsForged Steel Reducing Socket FittingCompliant with ASTM A182/A403, ASME B16.11, and MSS SP79 standards.
Core DefinitionA specialized forged pipe component engineered for pipe diameter reduction in metal valve-pipe systems. It features two integrated sockets with an asymmetric bore (one larger, one smaller), facilitating seamless, low-pressure-loss transition between pipes of different sizes.
Structural & Material Advantages
- One-piece forged construction eliminates internal defects, enhancing structural rigidity and long-term durability.
- Manufactured from high-grade forged steel, it delivers excellent mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and reliable pressure-tight sealing performance.
Key Specifications
- Connection Type: Socket Welding (SW) – Pipes are inserted into the sockets and secured via fillet welding to form permanent, leak-proof joints.
- Pressure Rating: PN10 – PN420 / Class 150 – 2500
- Typical Materials: Carbon Steel (A105), Stainless Steel (304L/316L), Duplex Steel (2205), Alloy Steel (F11/F22)
Application Fields
- Infrastructure: Plumbing systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning)
- Industrial Valve-Pipe Networks: Chemical processing, power generation, oil & gas transmission, water treatment, petrochemicals, metallurgy
