Half Coupling Configuration
Socket Weld End
The machined socket accepts compatible pipe for welded installation.
Compact Body
The half-coupling design provides a shorter forged fitting body than a full coupling.
Attachment Side
The opposite side can be incorporated into compatible fabricated piping, vessel, tank, or branch connection assemblies.
Construction Details
These 3000# socket weld half couplings are manufactured from normalized forged steel conforming to ASME SA105N. The forged fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11.
The half-coupling configuration provides a single socket weld connection in a compact body, making it useful where a connection point must be added to another piping component or fabricated assembly.
Why Choose a Forged Steel Half Coupling?
Compact Connection Point
- Provides one socket weld connection
- Shorter body than a full coupling
- Useful in branch and fabricated connections
- Can be incorporated into compatible vessels or piping assemblies
- Designed for compatible 3000# socket weld systems
Forged Steel Construction
- Manufactured from forged steel
- Material conforms to ASME SA105N
- Normalized material condition
- Dimensions conform to ASME B16.11
- Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility
Half Coupling vs. Full Coupling
Half Coupling
A half coupling provides a single socket connection and is commonly incorporated into fabricated branch, tank, vessel, or piping connections.
Full Coupling
A full coupling provides socket connections at both ends and is designed to join two compatible pipe sections in a straight run.
Typical Applications
Industrial & Mechanical Piping
- Industrial process piping
- Mechanical piping systems
- Plant utility piping
- Fabricated piping assemblies
- Equipment connections
Fabricated Connections
- Branch connection assemblies
- Tank connections
- Vessel connections
- Equipment nozzles
- Compatible high-pressure socket weld systems
