Haihao Group Delivers ASME B16.11 SA105 Socket Weld and Threaded Fittings to Argentina Customer
Haihao Group has successfully completed the production and shipment of a batch of forged pipe fittings for a customer in Argentina. The order includes ASME B16.11 SA105 socket weld fittings, threaded tees, and combination socket weld/NPT fittings designed for high-pressure piping applications.
The supplied fittings are manufactured from ASTM A105 carbon steel and rated at Class 3000, meeting the dimensional and performance requirements of ASME B16.11. The products include 45-degree elbows, 90-degree elbows, reducing threaded tees, and combination end fittings, providing reliable connection solutions for industrial piping systems.
Before delivery, Haihao Group carried out required inspections including heat treatment, mechanical properties testing, chemical composition analysis, hardness testing, impact testing, and ultrasonic examination to ensure product quality and traceability.
Project Overview of ASME B16.11 SA105 Socket Weld Fittings
For this Argentina project, the customer required forged fittings suitable for pressure piping systems where compact design, strength, and leak-resistant connections are essential.
The supplied ASME B16.11 SA105 socket weld fittings include different connection types, such as socket weld (SW), threaded (NPT), and combined SW/NPT designs.
The main supply details are shown below:
| Product | Size | Pressure Class | Material | Standard |
| 90 Degree Socket Weld Elbow | NPS 1/2″ – 2″ | CL3000 | SA105 | ASME B16.11 |
| 45 Degree Socket Weld Elbow | NPS 1″ | CL3000 | SA105 | ASME B16.11 |
| Reducing Threaded Tee | NPS 1″ × 1/2″ | CL3000 | SA105 | ASME B16.11 |
| Combination Socket Weld / NPT Elbow | NPS 1″ | CL3000 | SA105 | ASME B16.11 |
Manufacturing Features of SA105 Forged Pipe Fittings
The supplied ASME B16.11 SA105 socket weld fittings were manufactured from ASTM A105 forged carbon steel, a commonly selected material for pressure piping components due to its excellent strength, machinability, and weldability.
Socket weld fittings are widely used in small diameter, high-pressure piping systems. The socket design allows the pipe to be inserted into the fitting before welding, providing accurate positioning and strong connections.
Key manufacturing processes included:
- Forging according to material requirements
- Heat treatment to improve mechanical properties
- Precision machining of socket and threaded areas
- Dimensional inspection according to ASME B16.11
- Surface quality verification
For threaded fittings, NPT thread dimensions and accuracy were carefully controlled to ensure proper assembly and sealing performance.

Quality Inspection for Argentina Project
To meet the customer’s technical requirements, Haihao Group performed comprehensive quality inspections for the supplied fittings.
The inspection scope included:
- Chemical composition analysis
- Mechanical property testing
- Hardness testing
- Impact testing
- Ultrasonic examination
- Heat treatment verification
These inspection procedures help confirm that the finished SA105 forged fittings meet the required strength and service performance for industrial applications.
Applications of ASME B16.11 Forged Fittings
The delivered fittings are suitable for various industrial piping systems, including:
- Oil and gas facilities
- Petrochemical plants
- Power generation systems
- Chemical processing equipment
- High-pressure instrument piping
Compared with larger butt weld fittings, socket weld fittings provide advantages in compact piping layouts, especially for smaller diameter pressure systems where installation space is limited.
