A socket welding cross is a fitting with four openings, three of which are connected to the main pipe and one of which serves as a connection for a branch pipe. Its structure is characterised by the fact that at least one of the openings is designed as a socket port, which can be inserted into the pipe and connected by welding. Socket weld cross is usually made of high quality carbon steel, alloy steel or stainless steel to ensure its high strength and good sealing performance.
Socket weld tees can be divided into many types according to the different types and specifications. For example, according to the number and position of socket, it can be divided into single socket cross, double socket cross or multiple socket cross, etc.; according to the size range, it can be divided into a variety of specifications, such as 1/8 ″ 4 ″ (DN6 DN100), etc.; according to the pressure level, it can be divided into different levels of 3,000LBS, 6,000LBS, 9,000LBS, etc., in order to adapt to the different requirements of the working pressure.
Manufacturing process and standards
The manufacturing process of socket welding cross usually includes forging, casting, machining and other aspects. In the manufacturing process, the quality of raw materials, forging temperature, forging pressure and other key parameters need to be strictly controlled to ensure the quality and performance of the cross. At the same time, socket welding cross also need to follow the relevant manufacturing standards, such as ASME B16.11, GB/T 14383, etc., which specify the dimensions, tolerances, material requirements and other requirements of the cross.
Application Areas
Because of its unique structure and connection method, socket welding cross is widely used in many fields. For example, in petrochemical, electric power, shipping, medicine and health industries, socket welding cross as an important part of the piping system, undertake the important task of fluid transmission and distribution. In addition, in the need to withstand high pressure, high temperature or corrosive media occasions, socket welding cross is also favoured because of its high strength and good sealing performance.
