Views: 131     Author: Site Editor     Publish Time: 2022-12-29      Origin: Site

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.

Types of Threaded Pipe Fittings

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 ElbowTee, CrossCoupling, Cap, Swage Nipple, Bushing, Plug, Nipple, Union, Hex Nipple,Threadolet.

Advantages of ASME B16.11 Threaded Fitting Connections

(1) Quick installation.

(2) Suitable for low-pressure applications, leakage integrity is good.

(3) Installation is easy, Special installation skill is not required.

(4) Less force is required for joining.

(5) Parts can be detached.

(6) Economic and cheaper.


Disadvantages of ANSI B16.11 Threaded Connections

(1) Not suitable for high temperature-pressure applications.

(2) Threads may suffer from corrosion in a corrosive environment.

(3) Temperature changes may cause leakage problems.

(4) Fatigue damage can occur for cyclic services.

(5) Strength is less as compared to welding.
