Manufacturer of Buttweld Fittings | ASME/ANSI B16.9, ANSI B16.28, MSS-SP-43
Buttweld Pipe Fittings are specifically engineered to be welded on-site to connect pipes, facilitating changes in direction, diameter, branching, or termination within a piping system. These fittings are integral to systems designed for the safe and efficient transport of fluids such as oil, gas, steam, and chemicals across various distances. The use of buttweld fittings enhances the reliability and integrity of piping systems, especially in demanding environments.
Pipe Fittings are commonly available in a range of materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, aluminum, and high-yield materials. High-yield carbon steel buttweld fittings are produced in grades such as A234-WPB, A234-WPC, A420-WPL6, Y-52, Y-60, Y-65, and Y-70. Notably, all WPL6 fittings undergo annealing and comply with NACE MR0175 and MR0103 standards, ensuring resistance to sulfide stress corrosion cracking in sour service environments.
Seamless Buttweld Fittings are manufactured from seamless pipes and tubes through processes like hot or cold extrusion, forming, and machining. Seamless fittings are preferred for their superior strength and absence of weld seams, which enhances their reliability in high-pressure applications.
Seam-Welded Buttweld Fittings are made from hot-rolled stainless steel pipes or, upon request, from hot-rolled plates that are formed into half shells or segments, and then welded along the seams. These fittings are widely used where seamless fittings are not feasible, offering flexibility in manufacturing larger sizes and custom shapes.
Ample Alloys stands out as a leading manufacturer, stockist, and exporter of premium buttweld pipe fittings in India. The company offers fittings in a variety of materials including stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex, and super duplex steels. These fittings are available in both seamless and welded forms, meeting the diverse needs of industries such as oil & gas, power generation, petrochemical, and construction sectors, including upstream, midstream, and downstream applications.

Buttweld pipe fittings are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment. These fittings ensure strong, leak-proof connections, making them ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature environments. They are also essential in applications requiring corrosion resistance, like chemical transport or food and beverage production, ensuring safe and efficient flow within pipelines. Their versatility and durability make them a crucial component in various industrial piping systems.
Buttweld fittings provide strong, leak-proof connections that enhance the reliability of piping systems. Their smooth internal surfaces minimize pressure drops, improving flow efficiency. Available in various sizes and configurations, they offer flexibility for system design and expansion. These fittings are durable, cost-effective, and ideal for high-pressure, high-temperature applications.
Selecting the right buttweld fitting involves choosing the appropriate material (like Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel) to match your system’s pressure, temperature, and corrosion requirements. Ensure the fitting type aligns with your design needs—such as elbows for direction changes or tees for branching. Always check compliance with standards like ASME B16.9 and source from certified manufacturers to guarantee quality and durability.
