• We have around 30 years experience in manufacturing of buttweld pipe fittings in size ranging from 1/2” to 60”, schedule from Sch5s to SchXXS. Metallica specializes in manufacturing elbows, tee, reducer, caps, crosses, stub ends, etc conforming to ASME, ANSI, and DIN standard. We also produce custom size pipe fittings made according to drawings from our clients. Common material for buttweld fittings are carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, super austenitic, duplex, super duplex, nickel alloys, titanium, and aluminum etc. Our products are widely used in oil & gas, petrochemical, refineries, power plant, shipbuilding, metallurgy, paper making and other industries.
• A buttweld pipe fitting is a type of pipe fitting, which is designed to be welded on site to connect pipes together. Welding of a buttweld pipe fitting to pipes or other fittings is generally done to allow change in direction of the piping system. Buttweld fittings are generally identified or inquired in nominal pipe sizes with specified pipe schedule. Buttweld fitting’s dimensions and tolerances are defined as per ASME B16.9 standard. All buttweld pipe fittings have beveled ends as per ASME B16.25 standard. This helps create full penetration weld without any extra preparation needed for the buttweld fitting.
• Manufacturing buttweld fittings – A buttweld pipe fitting is made by the process of hot forming that includes bending and forming to shape. The starting material of buttweld fitting is a pipe that is cut to length, heated and molded into specific shapes by means of dies. Heat treatment is also done to remove residual stresses and obtain desired mechanical properties. Sch 10 fittings are also more common in stainless steel buttweld fitting, while SCH 40 is common for carbon steel buttweld fittings.
• Being one of the largest volume buttweld pipe fittings manufacturer and supplier in Mumbai, we can guarantee you the lowest prices. At Metallica Metals, we believe in selling in volume and increasing our customer base across the globe, enabling us to work on low margins. We have an extensive trader network across India, USA, Europe and the Middle East, who buy from us on a regular basis.
• In addition to traders, we have many EPC contractors, companies and end users in various industries as our customers. We are leading buttweld fittings suppliers for various applications ranging from low/medium/high pressure or temperatures.
• ASME 16.9 covers overall dimensions, tolerances, ratings, testing, and markings for factory-made wrought butt-welding fittings in sizes NPS 1⁄2 through NPS 48 (DN 15 through DN 1200). The term “wrought” denotes fittings made of seamless or welded pipes, tubing, plates, or forgings. These fittings include long radius elbows, reducing elbows, long radius returns, short radius elbows, short radius 180° returns, 3D elbows, straight tees, straight crosses, reducing tees, reducing crosses, lap joint stub ends, caps, concentric reducers, and eccentric reducers.

Advantages of  Buttweld Fittings

1. Welding butt-weldable fitting to a piping system, ensures a 100% leak proof connection.
2. The piping system which uses a buttweld fittings requires less space.
3. The continuous metal structure formed due to welding of a buttweld fitting to pipes gives enough strength to the system.
4. Smooth inner surface and gradual direction results in lower pressure loss, and lower corrosion or abrasion resistance.
5. Various turning options and easy to weld.
6. Buttweld saves more cost than socket weld or threaded.
7. Allow thin thickness as SCH 10 or SCH 10S.
8. Compatible with different sizes from 1/4 inch to 24 inch and up to 72 inch.

What are Advantages of Buttwelding over Flanges?

• Flanges connect pipes by bolting them together, whereas buttwweld fittings connect pipes by welding them together.
• Depending on size, buttweld fittings require 10% to 75% less material than a flanged connection, which means lower material cost and lower weight.
• Welded construction permits greater freedom in designing a layout; this system uses less space, is more compact, and has greater strength.
• Buttweld fittings provide optimum flow characteristics, without pockets or sharp corners, creating less frictional resistance, no pressure loss, less turbulence.
• The welded connection would help to get more robust connection.
• Continuous structure of metal would add to the strength of the piping system.
• When buttweld fittings would be matched with the appropriate pipe schedules, they would help to offer a seamless flow inside the pipe.
• It provides the option of various turn radius by using Long Radius, Short Radius, or 3R elbows.
• Found to be cost effective compared to the socket weld or threaded counterparts.
• These fittings would be available in Schedule 10, thus allowing for a thinner wall option.
• These fittings have been found to be more common in the configuration of Schedule 10 and Schedule 40.

Fittings are divided into three groups:

• Buttweld (BW) fittings whose dimensions, dimensional tolerances et cetera are defined in the ASME B16.9 standards. Light-weight corrosion resistant fittings are made to MSS SP43.
• Socket Weld (SW) fittings Class 3000, 6000, 9000 are defined in the ASME B16.11 standards.
• Threaded (THD), screwed fittings Class 2000, 3000, 6000 are defined in the ASME B16.11 standards.

Buttweld Dimensions

• Buttwelded Pipe Fittings Dimensions refer to pipe size standards ANSI B36.10 and B36.19.
• Diameter range: 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″, 6″, 8″ and maximum 72″.
• Thickness range: Schedule 10, Schedule 40, Schedule 80, XS, XXS and SCH 160
• In the case of involving mounting dimensions of buttwelded fittings, this will include the diameter in the NPS and the thickness in the schedule.

What is a Seamless Buttweld Fitting?

• A seamless buttweld pipe fitting is made directly from a section of seamless pipe material, by applying heat and pressure to transform pipe directly into an elbow or other shape.
• A seamless fitting has no welded parts by itself, a characteristic demanded in some critical applications.
• By comparison, a regular buttweld fitting has one, two or more welds, depending on dimension, shape and manufacturing method.
• No weld means less risk of weld yield and porosities.

Applications of Buttweld Pipe Fittings

Fittings are used wherever liquids, gases, chemicals and other fluids are created, processed, transported, or used. Range of industries is very wide, as shown below:

• Energy related – Oil and gas industries, including upstream (exploration and production), midstream (transportation by ships, pipeline, rail, trucks; storage and wholesale) and downstream (refining into fuels or chemicals; marketing and distribution). Power plants using fossil or nuclear fuels. Geothermal energy for harnessing heat from the earth.
• Food and beverage production – From basic ingredients to elaborate desserts. From milk, to juices and other beverages. Cold chain to keep produce fresh, drinks and frozen foods at a set temperature. Desalination plants to transform seawater into drinking water for arid areas and various tropical islands.
• Pharmaceuticals and biotech production – Medicines and vaccines that treat illnesses and help restore bodies and minds to their top conditions.
• Semiconductor manufacturing – Microchips that go into all electronics, including smartphones, tablets, computers, television sets, telecom networks.
• Pulp and paper production – Newsprint, glossy paper, cardboard boxes, books, writing paper.
• Production of construction materials and plastics – From roofing materials, to glassmaking for windows, to copper wiring for transporting electricity, and various plastics throughout houses and office buildings.

Prices for Buttweld Pipe Fittings

Prices for buttweld pipe fittings are directly co related to prices of the raw materials such as iron ore, metal scrap, chromium, nickel and various other alloying elements. The production cost of heat resistant stainless steel and nickel alloy plates is high as they contain high amount of nickel and chromium. Meanwhile, mild steel material is among the lowest cost steel available, followed by carbon steel, 400 series stainless steels, aluminium, alloy steel, and 300 series stainless steel. Special alloys such as titanium, Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy cost very high as the nickel, chromium and moly content is very high.
