A Forged Cross Fitting is a type of pipe fitting that is designed to create a branch connection in a piping system with four openings arranged in a cross shape. This fitting allows for the flow of fluids in four different directions, making it versatile for various applications. The term "forged" refers to the manufacturing process used to create these fittings.
The Forged construction ensures the cross can withstand the demanding conditions often present in industrial piping systems. The choice of a forged cross depends on factors such as the application, pressure, temperature, and the specific requirements of the piping system.
A Socket Weld Equal Cross and a Threaded Equal Cross are types of pipe fittings designed to create a branch connection in a piping system with four equal-sized openings, forming a cross configuration.
The Socket Weld Equal Cross features recessed sockets on each opening, allowing for secure welding connections to pipes.
In contrast, the Threaded Equal Cross is equipped with threaded ends, facilitating easy installation by screwing onto pipes without the need for welding. Both fittings ensure fluid flow in four directions, providing versatility and efficiency in various applications.
The choice between socket weld and threaded options depends on installation preferences and specific system requirements.
A Socket Weld Reducing Cross and a Threaded Reducing Cross are specialized pipe fittings designed to create a branch connection in a piping system with four openings, featuring varying sizes for controlled fluid distribution.
The Socket Weld Reducing Cross is characterized by recessed sockets for secure welding connections, accommodating pipes of different diameters.
The Threaded Reducing Cross is equipped with threaded ends, allowing for easy installation by screwing onto pipes of varying sizes without the necessity of welding. Both fittings efficiently manage fluid flow in four directions while accommodating the need for dimensionally diverse connections, catering to specific requirements in piping systems.
The choice between socket weld and threaded options depends on installation preferences and the unique demands of the system.
A Socket Weld Unequal Cross and a Threaded Unequal Cross are specialized pipe fittings designed to create a branch connection in a piping system with four openings, featuring varying sizes for controlled fluid distribution.
The Socket Weld Unequal Cross has recessed sockets for secure welding connections, accommodating pipes of different diameters.
Threaded Unequal Cross is equipped with threaded ends, allowing for easy installation by screwing onto pipes of varying sizes without the necessity of welding. Both fittings efficiently manage fluid flow in four directions while accommodating the need for dimensionally diverse connections, catering to specific requirements in piping systems.
The choice between socket weld and threaded cross options depends on installation preferences and the unique demands of the system.
