When we talk about “ANSI/ASME B16.11 forged fittings”, usually it refers to two kinds of pipe fittings that socket weld and threaded. Forged pipe fittings are made from solid blocks of steel, and machined to the final shapes as above standard. Shanghai Zhucheng manufacturer in China offers Class 2000/3000/6000 Threaded Fittings in accordance to standard of ASME / ANSI B16.11, these forged pipe fittings are available in various shapes.
Generally speaking, ASME/ANSI B16.11 threaded connections are commonly used for small size piping which is smaller than 2 inches. In the majority situation, threaded fittings are used in the plumbing industry. Among them, there are various kinds of thread types like NPT, BSPP, BSPT, PF, PT, MPT. Even though threaded fittings are mostly used for small bore piping connection, in actual order , their size could be up to 4” (NPS 4) sizes and can be customized.
Ranges from usage and functions,ASME/ANSI B16.11 threaded pipe fittings includes Elbow, Tee, Cross, Coupling, Cap, Swage Nipple, Bushing, Plug, Nipple, Union, Hex Nipple,Threadolet.
ASME B16.11 including pressure-temperature ratings, dimensions, tolerances, marking and material requirements is the standard for forged fittings.This article shows the relevant content in the following table.
