Socket Weld Union - Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel - Sizes Up To 4 Inches, Astm B16.11, 2000-9000 Pressure Class, Shot Blasted Finish

A Socket Weld Union is a pipe fitting used in piping systems to join two pipes together securely while also allowing easy disassembly when needed. Ideal for small bore piping (generally less than 4 inches in diameter), socket weld unions provide a reliable, leak-resistant connection. Made from materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, these unions are designed with a socket into which the pipe is inserted, followed by welding around the joint for added strength and stability.

Key advantages of socket weld unions include their strong, leak-proof connections and the ability to disconnect and reconnect sections without extensive rework. This makes them especially useful for high-pressure and high-temperature applications in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation. Socket weld unions are also a preferred choice in systems handling corrosive or hazardous materials, thanks to their robust seal and durability.
