Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the main advantages of Socket Weld Tees over Threaded Tees?
Socket weld tees provide a stronger, more permanent connection that is far more resistant to leaks and mechanical vibrations, making them superior for high-pressure and critical safety applications.
Q: Which material is best for corrosive chemical environments?
For corrosive environments, we recommend Stainless Steel (304/304L or 316/316L) or specific Alloy Steel grades depending on the medium being transported.
Q: How do you ensure the quality of the socket weld fittings?
We adhere to ASME B16.11 standards and conduct rigorous non-destructive testing, including Penetrant Testing (PT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) to ensure structural integrity.
Q: What pressure ratings are available for these fittings?
Our socket weld tees are available in Class 2000 (PN 33), Class 3000 (PN 50), Class 6000 (PN 100), and Class 9000 (PN 150).
Q: In which industries are socket weld tees most commonly used?
They are widely used in petrochemical refineries, power plants, LNG projects, offshore marine engineering, and pharmaceutical clean-piping systems.
Q: How should I maintain welded joints over time?
Regularly inspect joints for signs of corrosion, stress cracks, or deformation. In high-temperature settings, monitor for material creep to ensure continued safety.
