Pipe fittings are pipe components that facilitate routing of pipes for changes in direction, size changes, and branch connections. They are made of different materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, copper, iron, brass, PVC, etc. Different pipe fittings have different functions according to layout or process requirements. Common types of pipe fittings are pipe elbows, pipe reducers, tee connectors, Olet connectors, unions, couplings, stubs, valves, flanges, adapters, caps, plugs, bushings, crosses etc., widely used in the plumbing and plumbing industries.

Buttweld pipe fittings, also known as welded pipe fittings, are a type of pipe fittings that are welded to the pipe rather than threaded. They are used to connect pipes of various sizes and shapes in a piping system, allowing for changes in direction, branch off, or connect different components of the system. Buttweld pipe fittings are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical, petrochemical, and power generation.

SEAMLESS VS WELDED BW FITTINGS Butt weld fittings are available in seamless and welded execution (seamless for bore sizes below 24 inches, welded for sizes above 24 inches). Seamless buttweld fittings have no seam welds and are therefore considered superior to welded BW fittings (a weld is always a
