4. ASME B16.11 Forged steel fittings

Threaded Hex Head Bushing

Leave us a message​

Description

Threaded Hex Head Bushing is a type of threaded pipe fitting, typically made from stainless steel, brass, or carbon steel. The fitting is hexagonal in shape, with one end larger than the other and has both internal and external threads. The larger end has external threads, while the smaller end has internal threads. The hex head allows the use of a wrench or similar tool for easy installation or removal.

Applications

Threaded Hex Head Bushings are commonly used in plumbing and gas systems to connect pipes of different sizes or to convert from one thread type to another. Specific applications include:

  • Water and gas pipelines: Used to connect water and gas pipes in civil and industrial systems.
  • Oil and Gas Industry: Used in oil and natural gas pipeline systems.
  • Chemical industry: Used in chemical piping systems.
  • HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system: Used in air conditioning and ventilation systems.

Standards

Threaded Hex Head Bushing must comply with international standards to ensure quality and safety during use. ASME B16.11 standard specifies requirements for product dimensions, materials, strength and accuracy, ensuring that accessories meet the stringent requirements in industrial and civil applications.

  • Dimensions: Includes outside diameter, inside diameter, thread length, and overall length.
  • Tolerances: Dimensional tolerances ensure precise fit between fittings and pipes.
  • Manufacturing materials: Carbon steel, stainless steel, brass and other materials upon request.
  • Pressure: Specifies the maximum working pressure for each material type and size.
  • Temperature: Specifies the maximum and minimum working temperature for each material.
