Forged Cross ASME B16.11

Socket weld Equal Cross, Unequal Cross Forged Fittings Exporter

A Socket Weld Equal Cross is designed to create a four-way connection where all pipe outlets are of the same size. This fitting is commonly used in high-pressure systems where a strong, leak-proof connection is critical. The socket weld connection involves inserting the pipe into the fitting socket and securing it with a weld, ensuring a durable and permanent joint.

A Socket Weld Unequal Cross features one or more outlets of a smaller size than the main run, allowing for a change in pipe diameter while maintaining the integrity of the system. Similar to the equal cross, the socket weld connection provides a strong, leak-proof seal by welding the pipe into the fitting socket.

A Threaded Equal Cross is a pipe fitting designed to create a four-way connection where all the outlets are of the same size. This fitting features threaded connections, which means the pipe ends are screwed into the cross fitting, making installation easy and eliminating the need for welding.

A Threaded Unequal Cross features one or more outlets that are smaller than the main run, allowing for a change in pipe diameter while maintaining a secure connection. Like the equal cross, the threaded design means that the pipe is screwed into the cross fitting, offering ease of installation and maintenance.
