Types of Forged Threaded Cross
Socket Weld & Threaded Equal Cross
A Socket Weld & Threaded Equal Cross is a specific type of forged cross fitting designed for use in piping systems where socket weld or threaded connections are preferred.
In a socket weld connection, the cross is welded to the pipe by inserting the pipe into the fitting and then applying heat to melt the metal and create a strong bond. Threaded connections involve screwing the cross onto the pipes using compatible threads, providing a secure and leak-resistant joint.
Socket Weld & Threaded Unequal Cross
A Socket Weld & Threaded Unequal Cross is a type of forged cross fitting designed for piping systems where socket weld or threaded connections are utilized and where the branch pipe sizes are different from the main pipe size.
In a socket weld connection, the unequal cross is welded to the pipes by inserting the smaller pipes into the smaller openings of the cross and then applying heat to create a secure bond. Similarly, in threaded connections, the smaller pipes are screwed into the smaller openings of the cross using compatible threads.
Socket Weld & Threaded Reducing Cross
A Socket Weld & Threaded Reducing Cross is a specialized type of forged cross fitting used in piping systems where socket weld or threaded connections are employed, and the branch pipe sizes need to be reduced from the main pipe size.
In a socket weld connection, the reducing cross is welded to the pipes by inserting the smaller pipes into the smaller openings of the cross and then applying heat to create a secure bond. Similarly, in threaded connections, the smaller pipes are screwed into the smaller openings of the cross using compatible threads.
