Overview
Product overview
End caps are essential components in piping systems, used to cover or close the end of a pipe, ensuring a secure and leak-proof seal. At Fortune Fittings Private Limited, we specialize in manufacturing high-quality ASME B16.11 end caps, both threaded and socket weld types, catering to various industrial applications.
What is an End Cap?
ASME B16.11 end caps are standardized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), ensuring consistency in dimensions and specifications. These end caps are forged, meaning they are heated and shaped using a hammer or press, resulting in superior strength and durability.
Types of Forged End Caps
- Threaded End Cap:
- Description: This type of end cap features female threads that screw onto the male threads on the end of the pipe.
- Applications: Ideal for systems requiring easy disassembly or where welding is not feasible.
- Description: This end cap is welded onto the pipe end using a socket weld joint. The pipe end is inserted into the cap’s socket and welded in place.
- Applications: Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature systems where a permanent and strong joint is needed.
- Socket Weld End Cap:
