ASME SA105 Carbon Steel Forged Fitting Application

ASME SA105 forged pipe fittings are widely used in industrial piping systems that require reliable pressure bearing capacity, especially in the following fields:

Oil and gas: In the field of oil and gas, ASME SA105 forged pipe fittings can be used in production pipelines, gathering pipelines, and utility pipelines on land and offshore platforms for transporting water, steam, air, etc.
Petrochemical and chemical industry: In the field of petrochemical industry, ASME SA105 forged pipe fittings can be used in various process pipelines and utility pipelines.
Power industry: In the power industry, ASME SA105 forged pipe fittings can be used as important connecting parts in the main steam, feed water, condensate, cooling water systems, etc. of thermal power plants and nuclear power plants (non-nuclear grade parts).
Shipbuilding and offshore engineering: ASME SA105 forged pipe fittings can be widely used in ship piping systems and offshore platform facilities in shipbuilding and offshore engineering.
General industry: ASME SA105 forged pipe fittings can be used in pressure piping systems of water treatment plants, paper mills, pharmaceutical plants (not parts with extremely high cleanliness requirements), etc.
Building facilities: ASME SA105 forged pipe fittings can be used in HVAC high-pressure hot water/steam systems of high-rise buildings.

ASME SA105 carbon steel elbow is a key pipe fitting widely used in normal to medium temperature pressure piping systems, and the working temperature is usually ≤350°F / 175°C. It is made of carbon steel forgings that have been heat treated by normalizing (or higher level), has good strength, toughness, machinability and weldability, and is relatively economical. It is mainly used in pipeline systems in oil and gas, petrochemical, power, shipbuilding and general industries to change the direction of the pipeline. Common forms are butt welding, socket welding or threaded elbows.
