A socket weld fitting is a vital industrial necessity which plays a crucial role in major industries. ACE ALLOYS LLP is one of the most renowned manufacturers and suppliers of socket weld fittings in the contemporary market. Our collection of SS Socket Weld Fittings is unparalleled in its variety, which we offer at excellent affordable rates. Forged Socket Weld Fittings have excellent mechanical properties, which is why they are in high demand.

Types

Depending on the pipe diameters and orientations allowed by socket weld fittings, wide pipes can be joined to narrower ones, and a pipe network can have branches or change directions. Listed below are various coupling thread arrangements for socket weld fittings:

Full Coupling

Using this socket, two pipes can be connected together, with threads at both ends.

Half Coupling

With half couplings, the non-threaded end is usually welded or fastened to piping in a similar way to full couplings. 

Reducing Coupling

Using different width sockets at either end, these fittings connect two pipes of different diameters

Socket Weld Reducer Insert

It is also possible to connect pipes with different diameters with this reducing fitting.

Socket Weld Union

Three-part fittings with two internal threads each side of an interconnected centrepiece bring pipe ends closer together by rotating the centrepiece. In order to minimise seat warping, the socket weld union must be tightly screwed before welding the ends.

Socket Weld Elbow

The SW elbows can be either short radius or long radius designs depending on the application. They are available at 90 degree and 45 degree angles.

Socket Weld Tee

In a socket weld tee fitting, a 90-degree branch can be created from a straight pipe, or a smaller diameter pipe can be used to create the same T-junction.

Sockolet

It is similar to the threadolet and weldolet in that it can be used to join smaller diameter pipes to larger ones. The sockolet includes a socket in the olet (hence the name), which makes welding convenient. Besides its ability to create a 90 degree direction change, the sockolet is able to withstand high pressures as well.

Socket Weld Cross

With this cross-formation fitting, two branches traveling in the same direction can change direction by 90 degrees.

A socket weld cap seals the end of a pipe.

There is a recessed shoulder on the inner diameter of socket weld flanges that allows the pipe to be fitted correctly.

There are several inherent advantages to socket weld fittings for joining pipes, including:

• To align the pipes for welding, the socket is easy to use, eliminating the need for tack welds
• Fittings with socket welds are less likely to leak than those with threads
• Socket design prevents weld metal from flowing into pipe bores
• The more relaxed dimensional requirements of socket weld fittings make them cheaper to install than butt weld fittings. Because socket weld fittings do not require special machining, they are cheaper to install.

What is the Difference between Socket Welds Pipe Fittings and Butt Welds Pipe Fittings?

• Because socket welds and butt welds have different welding specifications (ASME B16.11 for socket welds and ASME B16.9 for butt welds), they are governed by different standards.
• The pipe is inserted into a recess at the joint, and no beveling of the pipe ends or preparation of the materials is required.
• The fittings must be the same thickness as the pipes in order to be butt welded. However, the joints must also be beveled at the ends in order to be butt welded.
• Besides these practical differences, butt weld fittings tend to be stronger, so socket weld fittings are usually reserved for pipes with relatively small diameters, Besides these practical differences, butt weld fittings tend to be stronger, so socket weld fittings are usually reserved for pipes with relatively small diameters.

Why to use Socket Weld Fittings?

Fittings with socket welds join small diameter pipes used to convey flammable, toxic, or expensive materials that cannot leak. Fittings with socket welds can also be used for steam with a pressure of 300-600 psi. By using these connectors, a strong union can be created with a high flow characteristic and a reduced chance of leaks.

Socket welding refers to the fittings into which pipes are welded. Pipes are inserted into recessed sockets before they are welded into place in these fittings.

Pipes should be inserted into sockets with a gap between the end of the pipe and the bottom of the socket. When the heat from the welding process expands the pipes against the socket, this gap prevents a stress failure. To ensure the pipe doesn’t bottom out into the socket, a permanent fitment tool can be inserted into the fitting and used to measure and mark the gap. Upon placement, the pipe is fixed in place by fillet welding at the join between the pipe and socket.

Using socket welds, liquids or gases can be transported in sealed, leak-proof, high-pressure pipelines. The pipe ends should be clean to ensure the integrity of the weld, but socket welds do not require any pre-weld machining.

Socket Weld Inspection

In addition to visual inspection, other non-destructive testing methods can also be used to assess socket welds.

A magnetic particle inspection can be used to locate surface and near-surface defects in pipe welds, while a radiographic inspection can locate internal defects.

How do you fit a Socket Weld?

In order to fit a socket weld, a pipe is inserted into the fitting’s recess, with a gap of at least 1/16″ to allow for pipe thermal expansion under welding pressure. Using a series of fillet-type welds, the pipe can be welded in place. The thermal expansion gap prevents the weld from cracking if the pipe expands against the fitting.
