What is a socket weld cross

What is a socket weld cross?

Socket weld cross makes 90° branch from the main run of pipe. Socket weld cross is broadly used to provide leak free and torque free sealing in any piping or tubing connection. Ideal for piping applications and providing precise flow of water, these socket weld crosses join pipes to valves and fittings. This welds cross remove the requirement for the use of special clamps for alignment prior to the end fit-up welding.

A Socket weld cross allows four direction transition in pipeline fields.the fitting not only played a role in conection the cossing pipeline but also can control the volume by designed with different dimension of cross ends,sometimes we also adopt rib to reinforce the mechanical property when face hard woeking conditions.

Note:

1、Average of socket wall thickness around periphery shall be no less than listed values. The minimum values are permitted in localized areas.

2、Upper and lower values for each size are the respective maximum and minimum dimensions.
