Steel Socket

About Steel Socket

steel socket is a forged or machined pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of the same diameter in a piping system. It is designed with an internal recess (socket) into which the pipe ends are inserted and joined, typically by threaded or socket-weld connections. Steel sockets provide a strong, leak-proof, and durable connection suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Key Features Manufactured from carbon steel, mild steel, or alloy steel High mechanical strength and durability Excellent resistance to pressure and mechanical stress Available in threaded and socket weld types Precise dimensions for secure pipe alignment Suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure service Types of Steel Sockets Threaded Socket a Features internal threads for easy installation and removal without welding. Socket Weld Socket a Pipes are inserted into the socket and welded around the joint for a permanent, high-strength connection. Applications Oil and gas pipelines Water supply systems Steam and boiler lines Chemical and petrochemical plants Fire-fighting systems Hydraulic and pneumatic systems Industrial process piping
