Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 6000# forged steel socket weld cross?
It is a forged steel four-way fitting with socket weld connections on all four openings for creating multiple piping branches from a common point.
How many connections does this cross have?
The fitting has four socket weld openings.
How are the openings arranged?
Two opposing openings form the straight-through run, while two additional openings branch at 90 degrees from that run.
How is a socket weld cross different from a socket weld tee?
A cross has four openings and supports two opposing branches, while a tee has three openings and provides one branch.
What material standard applies?
The supplied product information states that forged steel fitting material conforms to ASME SA105N.
Is the material normalized?
Yes. The supplied product information specifies normalized forged carbon steel.
What dimensional standard applies?
