ASTM A182 F304 Forged Socket Weld Fittings are a type of pipe fittings made from austenitic stainless steel, specifically Grade F304 according to ASTM standards. This grade is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and versatility in a wide range of industrial applications. The chemical composition of F304 typically includes low carbon content (≤ 0.08%), moderate levels of chromium (18.0 - 20.0%) for corrosion resistance, and nickel content (8.0 - 11.0%) for added strength and stability. These fittings adhere to the manufacturing standard ASME B16.11, which specifies the requirements for forged socket weld fittings. They are available in a size range from 1/8" to 4" (DN6 to DN100) and are rated in various classes, such as 150#, 300#, 600#, 900#, 1500#, and 2500#, depending on their pressure capabilities
ASTM A182 F304 Forged Socket Weld Fittings are suitable for use in temperature ranges spanning from -425°F to 1200°F (-250°C to 649°C), making them ideal for both cryogenic and high-temperature applications. Their socket weld end connection design allows for a secure and leak-resistant connection. These fittings meet pressure-temperature ratings as specified in ASME B16.34, ensuring their performance under different pressure and temperature conditions. They also adhere to dimensional standards outlined in ASME B16.9, ensuring their compatibility with pipelines and other components.

In addition to their material and design specifications, these fittings are often supplied with material test certificates to EN 10204 3.1 standards, which provide detailed information about their chemical composition and mechanical properties. Common applications for ASTM A182 F304 Forged Socket Weld Fittings include use in petrochemical, chemical, food processing, pharmaceutical, and other industries where corrosion resistance and high-temperature performance are crucial. The range of available fittings includes elbows, tees, couplings, unions, caps, plugs, bushings, and more, offering flexibility in various piping and plumbing systems. They are also weldable using common methods such as TIG, MIG, and resistance welding, although certain applications may require preheating and post-weld heat treatment for optimal performance. Due to their excellent corrosion resistance, these fittings are particularly well-suited for use in environments containing acids and chlorides. Always refer to the manufacturer's documentation and relevant standards for precise information regarding the specific fittings you intend to use. for Ryno Piping Solution Inc.' exports of Carbon Steel Pipe and Tube.
