Corrosion ResistanceDuplex Stainless Steel Buttweld fittings provide exceptional resistance to pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion. Their dual-phase microstructure enables superior protection against aggressive chemicals, making them suitable for environments exposed to corrosive liquids and gases. This level of resistance extends the service life and reduces the need for frequent replacements in critical piping systems.
Testing and ComplianceEach fitting undergoes comprehensive testing, including 100% radiography, hydrostatic, and PMI testing. Additionally, non-destructive tests such as ultrasonic, dye penetrant, and eddy current methods are performed where applicable. Products comply with global standards like NACE MR0175, ISO 15156, and are PED approved, ensuring safe integration into oil & gas, chemical, and other high-demand industries.
Manufacturing and Quality AssuranceFittings are produced using hot forming, cold forming, seamless, or welded techniques. The edge preparation follows ASME B16.25 specifications and the tolerance is 0.5 mm. Surface treatments such as pickling and passivation enhance protection and cleanliness, while export-worthy wooden cases or pallets are used for secure packaging during transit to maintain product integrity.
