1. Socket Fittings
Socket fittings are primarily high-pressure pipe components (with elbows as a key type) manufactured by forging round steel or steel ingots into blanks, followed by precision lathe machining. Their connection method is Socket Welding (SW), where a steel pipe is inserted into the socket bore and welded to form a secure seal. Common product categories of socket fittings include:
2. Threaded Fittings (Screw Fittings)
Threaded fittings (also referred to as screw fittings) are threaded pipe components fabricated from materials such as stainless steel, alloy steel, and carbon steel, designed for connecting various types of pipelines. These fittings can be subdivided into more than ten types, covering both straight and curved connection configurations, including:
3. Application Scope of Socket Fittings
Socket fittings are mainly suitable for high-pressure pipelines, equipment requiring strict dimensional precision, and various high-pressure industrial fields such as: petrochemicals, pharmaceutical and healthcare, power generation, aerospace, fire protection, metallurgy, shipbuilding, gas transmission, nuclear power, and environmental protection.
