Socket Weld Reducer Insert Manufacturer in India
Sawariya Metal Industries is a manufacturer, supplier, stockist and exporter of Socket Weld Reducer Insert in stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex, nickel alloy and other grades, in a wide range of sizes and pressure ratings.
A socket weld reducer insert fits into a larger socket fitting to accept a smaller pipe, reducing the line size without a separate reducer.
Socket weld fittings are forged fittings with a socket bore into which the plain-end pipe is inserted and fillet welded. They are widely used for small-bore process, steam, instrument and hydraulic lines where a strong, leak-tight joint is needed.
Key Features of Socket Weld Reducer Insert
Size Reduction
Converts a larger socket to a smaller one.
Inventory Saving
Use standard fittings with inserts.
Forged Strength
Dense forged structure for high-pressure duty.
Easy Alignment
Socket design keeps the pipe aligned during welding.
