A socket weld fittings is a pipe attachment detail. In this case, the pipe will be inserted in to a recessed area of a pipe, fitting, valve, or flange. In order to join the pipes or valves to the other sections of the pipe, seal welds of fillet type will be applied. So in some cases socket weld fittings is a good choice. This is because the benefits of great structural strength and high leakage integrity would be quite important factors that has to be taken in to consideration when designing your pipeline project.
Types of MS Socket / Coupling:-
- Full-coupling
- Half-coupling
- Reducing coupling
Socket welding (SW) is used for welding pipes and fittings including reducers, tees and elbows.
Socket weld pipe fittings are used to permanently join pipes that are inserted into a recess in the fitting, flange or valve. Once correctly inserted, fillet type sealing welds are applied to join the pipe to the fitting.
These fittings are commonly known as SW pipe fittings, with SW couplings, SW elbows and SW tees being examples of different types.
Socket welds can be used to change the direction of travel for pipe networks as well as join pipes at different angles and of different diameters.
The high leakage integrity and structural strength of socket welds allow them to be used for a range of piping network applications.
