FORGED SOCKET

Industrial Pipe Fittings

Coating: RAW/WARNISH

Available Size: 1/2" - 6"

🔎 What It Is:

A Forged Socket** (or Socket Weld Coupling) is a high-pressure pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of the same or different diameters. It has a recessed area (socket) into which a pipe is inserted, then joined by fillet welding. The forging process makes it suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature, and corrosive environments.
