Half Coupling vs. Full Coupling
Socket Weld Half Coupling
A half coupling provides one socket weld connection and is typically incorporated into a fabricated piping, tank, vessel, or equipment assembly.
Socket Weld Full Coupling
A full coupling provides socket weld connections on both ends and is designed to join two compatible pipe sections in a straight run.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 6000# forged steel socket weld half coupling?
It is a compact forged steel fitting with one socket weld connection designed for incorporation into compatible fabricated piping, tank, vessel, branch, or equipment connections.
What type of connection does this half coupling use?
This fitting uses a single socket weld connection.
How is a half coupling different from a full coupling?
A half coupling provides one socket weld connection, while a full coupling provides socket weld connections on both ends for joining two pipe sections.
Where are socket weld half couplings commonly used?
They are commonly used in fabricated piping assemblies, branch connections, tanks, vessels, and equipment where a compact welded connection point is required.
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?
Forged steel fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11.
Is this fitting threaded?
No. This listing is for a socket weld half coupling intended for welded piping connections.
