FORGED STEEL FITTINGS

Forged steel pipe fittings are created using a process called forging. The process of forging heats a piece of carbon steel that is placed between an upper and lower die, which molds the heated piece of carbon steel the desired shape. After the forging process, the molded carbon steel is put through a machining process, where it is finished to meet all required specification.

There are many different applications in which forged steel pipe fittings would be ideal. These are not only limited to oil, gasoline, hydraulic machinery, fertilizing, or chemical industries because of the leak free connections created from fittings made from forged steel, forged fittings are ideal in the transfer of these potentially harmful materials. When it comes to oils or chemicals having any type of leak within your connection can be very dangerous. Forged steel fittings will ensure that neither fumes, nor the chemical or oil itself leaks from your piping connection and will provide maximum security.

Depending on the chemical being transferred through the piping connection, this can be very harmful and may even cause unwanted chemical reactions such as explosions. Forged steel fittings are the best options when transferring oil, gas or chemicals. Forged steels fittings are created under such circumstances that they with stand high pressure and corrosion.

The major types of forged fittings are

• Gasket
• Insert fittings
• Socket Weld Fittings
• Pipe Nipples
