  Differences Between Socket Weld Fitting And Butt Weld Fittings Socket Weld Fittings Welding a socket Fittings are a type of pipe attachment that entails putting a pipe into a depression in a valve, fitting, or flange. Socket-weld flanges are commonly used on smaller diameter high-pressure pipelines. These Socket Weld Fittings are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top. This produces a smooth bore and better fluid or gas flow within the pipe.  Carbon Steel Forged Socket Weld 90 Degree Elbow  is built to be incredibly durable. These fittings are corrosion and oxidation resistant in a variety of media. Butt Weld Fittings A buttweld fitting is made using a hot or cold forming process, which means it is bent and molded to the desired shape. Heat treatment is also used to reduce residual stresses and obtain specified mechanical characteristics. In a variety of industries, buttweld fittings can be used to modify, divide, or stop the flow o
