Socket Weld Boss (Socket Weld Forged Fittings)
A small forged outlet welded onto equipment or a vessel wall for instrumentation and gauge connections.
Overview
A Socket Weld Boss is a forged, small-bore fitting that a small forged outlet welded onto equipment or a vessel wall for instrumentation and gauge connections. It connects via a socket-weld joint, where the mating pipe is inserted into a machined socket and fillet welded in place for a smooth, leak-tight connection, and is machined from a solid forged billet for superior strength over a cast equivalent.
Royal Steel India manufactures Socket Weld Boss to ASME B16.11 dimensions for high-pressure, small-bore piping systems across process, utility and instrumentation applications.
