Description

Applications

• Oil and Gas Industry: Used to seal pipe ends in systems for conveying oil, gas, and other industrial fluids.
• Chemical Industry: Ensures no leaks in chemical piping systems, helping to protect the environment and ensure worker safety.
• Food Processing Industry: Meets hygiene and safety requirements in food and beverage piping systems.
• Water and Wastewater Industry: Used to seal pipe ends in water supply and drainage systems and wastewater treatment, preventing leakage and loss.

Standards

The ASME B16.11 standard provides detailed and rigorous requirements for the design, materials, inspection and testing of threaded pipe fittings, including Threaded Square Head Plugs. Compliance with this standard ensures that products meet technical, safety and performance requirements in industrial applications.

• Materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, special alloys and brass.
• Size: Specifies the nominal size (NPS) and outside diameter of pipe fittings.
• Pressure and Temperature: Fittings must withstand pressure and temperature according to the levels defined in the standard. Typically, the maximum working pressure (WOG) listed in the standard table depends on the material type and size.
