Product Details:

An SS Socket Weld Elbow is a pipe fitting used to change the direction of flow between two pipes in a piping system. It has a socket weld end where the pipe is inserted and then welded around the joint, providing a strong and leak-proof connection. Elbows typically come in 45° and 90° angles.

• Available sizes: 1/8” to 4” (and larger on demand)

• Dimensions per ASME B16.11

• Chemical and petrochemical piping systems

• Power plants and refineries

• Food and pharmaceutical industries

• Marine and offshore applications

• High-pressure and high-temperature pipelines

• Strong, leak-proof welded joint

• Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature conditions

• Compact design for use in tight spaces

• Excellent corrosion resistance due to stainless steel material

• Easy to install with socket weld method

Product Details:

A socket weld tee is a three-way pipe fitting used to branch one pipe from another in a piping system.

• Socket weld (S/W) means the pipes are inserted into the sockets of the tee and then fillet welded around the joint.

• Tee allows for flow in a T-shaped configuration:

  • One inlet

  • Two outlets (or vice versa)

Common Grades:

Properties:

• Corrosion-resistant

• High mechanical strength

• Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature systems

• Compatible with steam, water, oil, chemicals, and corrosive fluids

Structure:

• T-shaped fitting with three sockets (one for each pipe).

• Pipes are inserted into the sockets, leaving a small gap (typically 1/16”–1/8”) for welding.

• Fillet weld is made around the outer edge of each socket.

Standards:

• ASME B16.11 for socket weld fittings

• ANSI/ASME standards for pressure and dimensions

Dimensions:

• Based on nominal pipe size (NPS)

• Wall thickness follows Schedule 40 or 80, depending on pressure class

Product Details:

A KALPATARU PIPE & FITTINGS FORGE FITTINGS

Product Details:

• Nominal Pipe Sizes: ¹⁄₂″ to 2″ for typical socket welds (larger sizes exist but less common)

• Pressure Rating:

  • High pressure applications, depending on schedule (e.g., Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 pipe)

  • Can handle up to 6000 psi or higher in small-bore piping

• Temperature:

  • SS304: up to ~870 °C

  • SS316: up to ~925 °C (depends on welding and media)

• Material: ASTM A182 (for forgings), ASTM A403 (for wrought fittings)

• Dimensions: ASME B16.11 (Socket Weld Forged Fittings)

• Welding: ASME Section IX (welding procedure standards)

• Pressure-Temperature: ASME B16.34 (valves), ASME B31.3 (piping systems)

• Stronger than threaded joints — good for high-pressure and high-vibration systems

• Smooth internal bore — reduces turbulence and deposit accumulation

• Corrosion resistance — stainless steel maintains strength and durability

• Suitable for instrumentation lines, chemical, oil, gas, and power industries

• Can be post-weld heat treated for maximum corrosion resistance

1. Pipe Preparation: Cut pipe square, remove burrs, and clean inside/outside

2. Insert Pipe: Fully insert into the socket until it touches the internal shoulder

3. Welding: Apply fillet weld around the joint, ensuring complete penetration and no gaps

4. Inspection: Check weld quality using NDT (Radiography or Dye Penetrant) if required

5. Pressure Test: Hydrostatic test recommended for high-pressure systems

• Process piping in chemical plants and refineries

• Instrumentation piping — small bore high-pressure lines

• Hydraulic systems

• Water and steam lines

• Oil & gas facilities

• Food & beverage and pharma piping where leak-free connections are critical
