Carbon Steel Forged Fittings

Carbon steel forged fittingsare widely used in a variety of applications such as civil and mechanical construction, re-rolling, auto parts, furniture, agricultural equipment, household appliances, and parts with light forming or bending.

Forged carbon steel pipe fittings are made of A105. Itis thicker, heavier and is intended for heavy industrial use. It is available inpressure class of 2000#, 3000#, 6000# and 9000#. CS forged fittings method of processing is to heat Carbon steel in molten temperatures and place it in the dies and then heated carbon steel is machined into the forged steel fittings. High-strength forged carbon steel is extremely durable and resilient to climate factors.

Carbon steel socket weld fittings is an iron-carbon alloy, which contains up to 2.1 wt. % carbon. there is no minimum specified content of other alloying elements For carbon steels, however, it often contain manganese. It is defined in the ASME B16.11. With carbon steel socket weld, a pipe is inserted into a recessed area of the fitting. Both the pipe and fitting are square cut which does not need bevelled end or preparation other than cleaning outside, which allows easy welding and installation.It is easy to install but it needs gap of 1/16″ approx. at the bottom of the pipe to socket into and to allow thermal expansion.

Carbon steel threaded pipe fittings are the most important commercial steel alloy. The increased carbon content improves hardenability and increases hardness and strength. It is used in some plumbing installations for the delivery of liquids or gases or under pressure have a narrow thread that is slightly conical.
