ASME B16.11 Manufacturer, Supplier & Exporter – VikTech Fittings
🔹 Product Overview

VikTech Fittings is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of high-quality Forged Socket Weld Pipe Fittings manufactured in accordance with ASME ASME B16.11 standard.

Forged socket weld fittings are designed for small bore, high-pressure piping systems where strength, durability, and leak-proof performance are essential. These fittings are widely used in critical industrial applications such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.

Available Pressure Classes:
✔ 3000#
✔ 6000#
✔ 9000#

Size Range: 1/8” to 4”

🔷 What are Forged Socket Weld Pipe Fittings?

Forged Socket Weld Pipe Fittings are fittings with a recessed socket end where the pipe is inserted before welding. A fillet weld is then applied around the joint to create a strong, permanent, and pressure-resistant connection.

These fittings are preferred in:

High-pressure steam lines

Hydraulic systems

Hydrocarbon processing lines

Instrumentation systems

The forged construction ensures superior mechanical strength and reliability under extreme pressure and temperature conditions.

🔷 Types of Forged Socket Weld Fittings

At VikTech Fittings, we manufacture a complete range of socket weld forged fittings:

🔹 Socket Weld Elbow (90° & 45°)

Used to change flow direction.

🔹 Socket Weld Tee (Equal & Reducing)

Used for 90-degree branch connections.

🔹 Socket Weld Cross

Used to connect four pipes at right angles.

🔹 Socket Weld Coupling (Full & Half)

Used to connect two pipes or create branch outlets.

🔹 Socket Weld Union

Allows easy dismantling and maintenance of piping systems.

🔹 Socket Weld Reducer (Concentric & Eccentric)

Used to connect pipes of different diameters.

🔹 Socket Weld Cap

Used to close the end of a pipeline.

🔹 Socket Weld Adapter

Used to transition between socket weld and threaded connections.
