This standard contains pressure-temperature ratings, dimensions, tolerances, markings and material requirements for forged and threaded forged fittings. The relevant contents will be shown in below tables in this article.
Although the use of the material is based on the application it is to cater to. For instance, if an application requires good tensile strength in addition to hardness and toughness, while corrosion resistance is not considered to be an important property, Carbon Steel Socket Weld Fitting are preferred. This is because these fitting are inexpensive and are easily available. Industries that make use of the Socket Weld Pipe Fitting include Chemical Industries, Machines and equipment, Power stations, Water treatment systems, Sanitary tubing, Heat Exchangers, Oil and gas transmissions as well as petroleum and Oil refining.
