Description

Socket Welding Half Coupling is a type of pipe fitting used to connect one section of pipe to another part of the piping system. Unlike a full coupling, a half coupling has only one end designed for socket welding, while the other end can be a socket or threaded connection.

Applications

Socket Welding Half Coupling is widely used in industries such as:

• Oil and gas : Connecting oil and gas pipelines to equipment or other systems
• Chemical : Piping systems in chemical plants
• Food and pharmaceuticals : Clean piping systems
• Water supply and drainage : Industrial and civil water supply and drainage systems
• Shipbuilding : Piping systems in shipbuilding industry

Standards

ASME B16.11 : This standard specifies the material, design, dimensional, tolerance, and inspection requirements for socket weld pipe fittings, including tees, elbows, unions, couplings, caps, plugs, bushings, and reducers.

• Material : Stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy, brass
• Size : From 1/8 inch to 4 inch
• Operating pressure : Up to 3000 psi (pounds per square inch)
• Standard : ASME B16.11, BS 3799
• Structure : One socket end and one open or threaded end

Socket Welding Half Coupling Dimensions and Thickness Table (according to ASME B16.11)

Note:

• Outer diameter (D) : Outer diameter of the pipe.
• Overall length (O) : Total length of half coupling.
• Average thickness (t) : Thickness of material at thickest point.
• Socket diameter (S) : Inner diameter of socket.
• Socket depth (E) : Depth of the socket section.
