Applications

Threaded Hex Head Plug is widely used in many different industries:

• Oil and Gas Industry: Used in oil and gas pipeline systems.
• Chemical industry: Used to seal pipes in chemical production and transportation systems.
• Water supply and drainage industry: Applications in water supply and wastewater treatment systems.
• Food and pharmaceutical industry: Used in systems requiring high hygiene such as food and pharmaceutical production.

Standards

ASME B16.11 is one of the most important standards for pipe fittings, including the THREADED HEX HEAD PLUG. This standard specifies the requirements for dimensions, materials, wall thickness, and pressure resistance of threaded fittings.

• Size: From 1/8” to 4” (NPS – Nominal Pipe Size)
• Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel
• Pressure: Depends on product size and material.
• For example:
  • Class 2000: Fittings can withstand a maximum pressure of 2000 psi (approximately 137.9 bar)
  • Class 3000: Fittings can withstand a maximum pressure of 3000 psi (approximately 206.8 bar)
  • Class 6000: Fittings can withstand a maximum pressure of 6000 psi (approximately 413.7 bar)
