ASME B16.11 | Forged Socket Weld Equal Cross | Class 3000–9000 | NPS 1/8–4
Elite Flow Co., Ltd. manufactures and supplies high-quality Forged Socket Weld Equal Crosses for industrial piping and process applications. These fittings are produced using controlled forging and precision-machining processes to provide reliable dimensional accuracy, mechanical strength, and consistent performance.
A Socket Weld Equal Cross is a four-way forged fitting with four socket-weld openings of the same nominal size. The branch connections are positioned at 90° to the main run, allowing four piping connections to be made within a compact configuration. Depending on the piping arrangement, the cross can accommodate different flow directions and system configurations.
ASME B16.11 Forged Socket Weld Crosses are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, refineries, process plants, water systems, and general industrial piping. Elite Flow Co., Ltd. supplies these fittings in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex, super duplex, copper-nickel, nickel alloys, titanium, and other specialty materials.
