Forged Coupling Pipe Fitting | High-Pressure Threaded & Socket Weld Couplings
Release Time:
Jul 30,2025
Explore high-strength forged couplings for industrial pipelines. Available in threaded and socket weld types, our couplings meet ASME B16.11 and MSS standards. Ideal for oil & gas, petrochemical, and high-pressure systems.
Structural Features:
A Forged Coupling is a short length of pipe used to connect two pieces of pipe or fittings in a straight line.
It provides a strong, leak-proof connection in high-pressure and high-temperature piping systems.
Forged couplings are compact, highly durable, and designed to maintain system continuity and pressure integrity.
Coupling Types:
Full Coupling: Connects two pipes or fittings of the same diameter
Half Coupling: Connects one pipe or fitting to a branch or equipment
Reducing Coupling: Connects pipes of different diameters
Available in:
Threaded (THD) – typically NPT or BSPT
Socket Weld (SW)
Standards:
ASME B16.11
MSS SP-79 / SP-83 / SP-95
BS 3799 (optional)
Pressure Ratings:
Class 2000 / 3000 / 6000
Suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature service
Applications:
Forged couplings are widely used to:
Join two pipe sections inline
Connect to valves, pumps, or instruments
Provide branch connections from headers or manifolds
Common in:
Oil & Gas pipelines
Petrochemical and refinery systems
Power generation plants
Marine and offshore systems
High-pressure steam and water lines
Common Materials:
Carbon Steel (ASTM A105)
Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F304, F316)
Alloy Steel (ASTM A182 F11, F22)
Other options include Duplex, Monel, Inconel, and customized alloys
Recommendation:
Forged couplings offer a safe, efficient, and economical way to extend or repair pipelines in small-bore, high-pressure systems.
They are essential for permanent connections, especially where system strength, seal integrity, and space optimization are priorities.
