Description
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Union
3000# Forged Steel Threaded Unions provide a high-strength removable connection between two sections of threaded piping. Manufactured from normalized forged carbon steel, these fittings are designed for demanding industrial and process piping systems where periodic disassembly or equipment access may be required.
The fittings conform to ASTM A105N-09, ASME SA105N, and ASME B16.11-2009. The normalized material provides enhanced hardness, strength, and machinability, and the manufacturing facility is ISO certified.

Threaded Union Design
The union configuration provides a removable threaded connection between two sections of piping. Unlike a standard coupling, the union can be separated without rotating the adjoining pipe, making it useful where service, maintenance, equipment replacement, or periodic disassembly may be required.
Standards & Manufacturing
- ASTM A105N-09: Forged carbon steel material specification
- ASME SA105N: Forged carbon steel material specification
- ASME B16.11-2009: Forged threaded fitting dimensional standard

Selection & Application Guidance
- Select the union to match the nominal pipe size of the threaded system.
- Confirm 3000# forged steel construction is appropriate for the application.
- Verify carbon steel compatibility with the intended process media and environment.
- Confirm system pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Use an appropriate thread sealant compatible with the process media.
- Use unions where a removable threaded connection is beneficial for service or maintenance.
- Follow proper threaded fitting engagement and installation practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pressure class is this threaded union?
This is a 3000# forged steel threaded union.
What material is the union made from?
It is manufactured from forged carbon steel conforming to ASTM A105N-09 and ASME SA105N.
What is a threaded union used for?
A threaded union connects two sections of piping while allowing the connection to be separated for service, maintenance, or equipment replacement without rotating the adjoining pipe.
How is a union different from a coupling?
A standard coupling joins two threaded components but generally requires pipe rotation during assembly or removal. A union is designed to be separated without rotating the connected piping.
Are these fittings normalized?
Yes. The forged carbon steel is normalized for enhanced hardness, strength, and machinability.
What fitting standard applies to these unions?
These forged steel threaded fittings conform to ASME B16.11-2009.
Is the manufacturing facility ISO certified?
Yes. The manufacturing facility is ISO certified.
