Socket Weld Fittings
Our Product Range
Socket Weld Fittings
Socket weld fittings are a type of pipe connection commonly used in high-pressure, high-temperature systems. These fittings involve a pipe being inserted into a recessed area of a valve, fitting, or flange and then welded around the joint, creating a strong and leak-proof connection. This design ensures maximum strength and durability, making it ideal for industrial applications.
One of the main advantages of socket weld fittings is their ability to create solid, reliable joints that can withstand high pressure and thermal cycling. They are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power plants, and manufacturing. Their design minimizes the risk of leakage, making them an excellent choice for hazardous or high-pressure environments.

Socket Weld Fittings for High-Pressure Applications
Socket weld fittings come in various types to accommodate different piping needs. Common types include socket weld elbows (used to change direction), tees (for branch connections), reducers (for connecting different pipe sizes), and couplings (for joining straight sections). Each fitting is designed to maintain flow integrity and structural reliability.
At Royal Forge & Fitting Industries, our socket weld fittings are manufactured using premium materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel. All products meet international quality standards like ASTM, ASME, and ANSI. Our strict quality control processes ensure every fitting delivers exceptional performance and longevity in demanding conditions.
