Socket Weld Fittings

Socket weld fittings are pipe fittings designed for use in small-bore piping systems, typically in applications where the pipes are welded to the fitting using a socket weld process. The pipe is inserted into the fitting’s socket, and then the connection is made with a fillet weld around the joint. Socket weld fittings are used for high-pressure systems and are commonly found in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and power generation. These fittings provide a strong, leak-proof connection, making them ideal for critical applications.

Advantages of Swage Nipples | Pipe Swag:

• Strong and Leak-Proof Connections: Socket weld fittings offer a strong, durable, and leak-proof connection, making them suitable for high-pressure applications. The fillet weld provides additional strength to the joint.
• Compact and Lightweight: Socket weld fittings are more compact and lighter compared to flanged connections, which is beneficial in tight spaces or when weight is a concern.
• No Threading Required: Since socket weld fittings do not require threads, they eliminate the risk of threading issues, such as misalignment or improper sealing, providing a more secure connection.
• Ease of Installation: Socket weld fittings are relatively easy to install, requiring only a fillet weld around the fitting, which makes them convenient for field installations and repairs.
• Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the material used (like stainless steel), socket weld fittings offer excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity in corrosive environments.
• Versatility: Socket weld fittings are available in a wide range of sizes and materials, making them suitable for various industrial applications, including high-pressure and high-temperature systems.
