What is Forged Fittings

Forged pipe fittings are available according to ASME B16.11, MSS-SP-79\83\95\97, and BS3799 standards and specifications. These fittings are useful in connecting nominal bore pipes. They are of carbon steel A105 and stainless steel SS316 material. The size of these fittings varies from 1/8” to 4 inches. These fittings received its name due to the manufacturing process, which involves forging. During the manufacturing of these fittings, the raw material, i.e., steel alloy or carbon alloy, is subjected to temperature and formed into a customizable shape.

Forged Pipe Fittings are available in socket weld pipe fitting and threaded pipe fitting form. These pipe fittings are made of A105 carbon steel, stainless steel, and even nickel alloy. All these raw materials work well for the formation of pipe fittings. Forged pipe fittings are heavier, thick, and intended to use in heavier applications. These pipe fittings show 2000#, 3000#, 6000#, and 9000# pressure classes.

Why Use Forged Fittings?


Due to the tight grain structure, a forging is mechanically stronger than a casting. Unlike castings, forgings are not susceptible to cavities, cold pour problems, porosity or shrinkage. Castings typically require more expensive alloys to achieve the high strength required for most fittings. The tight grain structure of forgings provides more wear resistance and is not so hard as to be more likely to become brittle in comparison to castings, allowing the forged fitting to withstand higher pressures, more extreme conditions and experience a longer service life than a casted fitting. Testing performed on a blank HRC 38-42 forged grinder insert wear/wash is about the same as on a high alloy HRC 46-50 cast grinder insert; however, a HRC 46-50 casting does not have the ductility to handle high impact grinding. This testing illustrates how forged steel fittings will withstand higher impacts, pressures and wear resistance than casted fittings.
