A forged pipe fitting has a high quality as it has higher strength to withstand higher pressure. The wall thickness is thicker than other type of fittings for threading process or machining to socket weld end.
The standard of ASME B16.11 contains pressure-temperature ratings, tolerances, dimensions, markings and material requirements for forged fittings. It is used in chemical, power generation and oil & gas industry where high pressure or extremely corrosive conditions exist.
