Frequently Asked Questions
A standard Tee provides a 90-degree branch, whereas the SW45° Lateral provides a 45-degree branch. This reduces fluid turbulence and pressure drop, making it ideal for high-efficiency pressure vessel systems.
For corrosive environments, we recommend Stainless Steel 316 or 316L due to the addition of molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to chlorides and acids.
Socket Weld (SW) means the pipe is inserted into a recessed area of the fitting and then welded. This creates a strong, leak-proof joint without requiring the pipe to be beveled.
Yes, all our fittings are manufactured in strict accordance with ASME B16.11 and MSS-SP-75 standards to ensure global compatibility and safety.
Yes, depending on the material grade selected (e.g., high-nickel alloys or specific stainless steels), our fittings can withstand significant thermal loads without compromising structural integrity.
We employ a multi-stage verification process including Material Test Reports (MTR), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), and Hydrostatic pressure testing to ensure 100% reliability.
