Pipe fittings are piping component used to change the direction of pipeline, branch off, reduce/increase pipe bore size, or blind the pipeline. The connections between pipes & their fittings are done through various methods, on that basis, the pipe fittings are classified in different types. Fittings are plays an important role in the piping system, without them we can’t provide fluid to a long distance.

Fittings are mainly divided into three types i.e. Buttweld Fittings, Socket Weld (Forged) Fittings and Threaded Weld Fittings. These fittings are manufactured from various material grade depend on their properties and applications. In this article, we will discuss Monel 400 Buttweld Fittings and Monel 400 Forged Fittings, widely used fittings in all types of piping systems. Before that, just discussed what are the benefits of pipe fittings?

Benefits of Pipe Fittings

• Provide strong and leak-proof piping connections.
• Low turbulence and minimum pressure drop inside piping systems
• Outstanding service life
• Easy to handle and install
• Cheap to buy and easy to deploy.

Grade Monel 400

MONEL is a trademark of Special Metals Corporation has made up of nickel and copper can be hardened by the cold working process. Monel 400 is famously known as Super Alloy Monel. UNS N04400 Monel Alloy has excellent forming and welding characteristics. So it can easily form into different shapes, and available in Monel 400 Buttweld Fittings & Monel 400 Buttweld Fittings.

Monel 400 pipe fittings can be weld using gas-arc welding, submerged arc welding, metal-arc welding, and gas-metal-arc welding.

Monel 400 Buttweld Fittings

Buttweld Fittings is one of the famous pipe fittings used in most of the critical applications. Two pipe sections are have beveled and attached with butting as well as welding by inserting pipes. This is one of the strongest connections in the piping system than forged or threaded weld connections. By a combination of grade Monel 400 and Buttweld Fittings, there are several types are available in the market as follow.

• Monel 400 Buttweld Elbow 45/90/180 Deg. Pipe Fittings
  • Monel 400 Short Radius Elbow
  • Monel 400 Long Radius Elbow
• UNS N04400 Monel Buttweld Tee Pipe Fittings
  • Monel 400 Equal Tee
  • Monel 400Reducing Tee
  • Monel 400 Unequal Tee
• Monel 400 Buttweld Cross Pipe Fittings
  • Monel 400 Equal Cross
  • Monel 400 Reducing Cross
• Monel UNS N04400 Buttweld Reducer Pipe Fittings
  • Monel 400 Concentric Reducer
  • Monel 400 Eccentric Reducer
• Monel 400 Pipe Cap & UNS N04400 Monel Stub End Fittings

Monel 400 Forged Fittings

Forged pipe fittings are also called as socket weld pipe fittings. In this forged fitting, pipe inserted into a recessed area of fittings and done welding on it. Unlike buttweld fittings, Forged Fittings are mainly used for small pipe diameters i.e. NPS 2. Having a combination of Forged Fittings and Monel 400, different types of forged fittings are manufactured. Check below list:

• Monel 400 Forged Elbow 45/90 Deg. Pipe Fittings
• UNS N04400 Monel Socket Weld Tee Pipe Fittings
• Monel 400 Socket Weld Cross Pipe Fittings
• UNS N04400 Monel Socket Weld Outlet Pipe Fittings
  • Monel 400 Branch Outlet
  • Monel 400 90 Deg. Elbow Outlet
  • Monel 400 Lateral Outlet
  • Monel 400 Nipple Branch Outlet
• Monel 400 Socket Weld Coupling Pipe Fittings
  • Monel 400 Full Couplings
  • Monel 400 Half Couplings
• Monel UNS N04400 Forged Reducer Pipe Fittings
• Monel 400 Pipe Cap & UNS N04400 Monel Stub End Fittings
