Buttweld End Pipe Cap

ASME/ANSI B16.9, ANSI B16.28, MSS-SP-43 End Cap Manufacturers

End pipe caps are used to seal the ends of pipes in a piping system, preventing leaks, protecting against contaminants, and maintaining pressure integrity. They are commonly used during system testing, storage, or transportation to ensure the pipe interior remains clean and undamaged. To install, the cap is either welded onto the pipe end (buttweld caps) or fitted mechanically, depending on the design. This provides a secure and durable closure, making end caps essential in industries like oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical processing.

We are recognized as a trusted exporter and supplier of a wide range of ANSI B16.9 Pipe Caps, available in various materials, including Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Duplex Steel, Super Duplex Steel, Nickel Alloy 200, Monel, Copper Nickel, Hastelloy, Alloy 20, and more.
