Socket Weld Cap Configuration
Socket Weld Opening
The machined socket accepts compatible pipe for welded installation.
Closed End
The forged closed end terminates the piping run once the cap is properly installed and welded.
Compact Forged Body
The compact forged steel design provides a dedicated end-closure fitting for compatible 3000# socket weld systems.
Construction Details
These 3000# socket weld caps are manufactured from normalized forged steel conforming to ASME SA105N. Forged fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11.
The socket weld configuration allows compatible pipe to fit into the machined socket before welding, creating a permanent end closure for the piping system.
