Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between buttweld and forged fittings?
Buttweld fittings (ASME B16.9) are welded end-to-end with pipes for large, permanent lines. Forged fittings (ASME B16.11) use socket weld or threaded ends for smaller high-pressure lines up to 4" NB.
Which grade is recommended for marine or chemical lines?
SS 316/316L is ideal for marine and chemical exposure, while SS 904L or Duplex is used for aggressive acids.
Do you provide Mill Test Certificates?
Yes, all consignments include an authentic EN 10204 Type 3.1 test certificate detailing chemical and physical properties.
How fast is dispatch to South India?
Standard sizes in SS 304 and SS 316 are dispatched within 24 hours from Mumbai, arriving within 24 to 48 hours.
