FORGED FITTINGS – BUSHING BOSS
Structural Features:
Bushing Boss, also known as Forged Threaded Bushing, is a forged fitting used to reduce a larger threaded opening to a smaller threaded connection.
It is typically installed in flanges, valves, or equipment to provide a secure and leak-proof threaded interface for smaller piping or instrumentation connections.
The bushing boss is designed to withstand high pressure and temperature, made from forged solid material ensuring strength and durability.
Types and Thread Standards:
Thread types: NPT, BSP, or custom threads as required
Can have internal and external threads
Compatible with a variety of connection standards and thread forms
Standards:
Manufactured according to ASME B16.11 and other relevant forging and threading standards
Can be customized to meet ANSI, API, DIN, or customer-specific requirements
Pressure Ratings:
Available in Classes 3000, 6000, 9000, and other ratings based on application
Designed to match the pressure class of the connected flange or equipment
Applications:
Bushing bosses are widely used in:
Flanges, valves, and pressure vessels
Instrumentation connections
Chemical and petrochemical plants
Oil and gas pipelines
Power generation and water treatment systems
They provide a reliable and compact threaded transition between different sizes, often used for pressure gauges, drains, or sampling lines.
Common Materials:
Carbon steel (ASTM A105)
Stainless steel (ASTM A182 F304/F316)
Alloy steel (ASTM A182 F11/F22)
Duplex stainless steel and other exotic alloys available
Recommendation:
Bushing bosses are ideal for applications requiring secure, high-pressure threaded reductions with excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
They ensure leak-tight connections in complex piping and instrumentation systems.
