Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 3" Schedule 40 black-coated steel threaded pipe nipple addresses critical industrial challenges by combining robust welded construction with NPT threading for leak-resistant joints in high-vibration systems. Its black-coated steel material provides an added layer of protection against moisture and chemical exposure, common in air, natural gas, oil, steam, and water applications. Engineered to ASTM A53 standards, it maintains structural integrity under fluctuating pressures, reducing failure risks in pipelines for iron and steel fittings. The precise 11-inch length and male ends facilitate quick integration, minimizing downtime in maintenance or new installations while supporting Class 125 and 150 requirements for industrial fluid handling.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This nipple features NPT threads conforming to ASME B1.20.1 for standardized engagement, with dimensions including a 3.068" ID, 3 1/2" OD, and 0.216" wall thickness per Schedule 40. Manufactured under ASTM A53 (material) and ASTM A733 (welded construction) specifications, it ensures consistent quality and performance. Suitable for use with iron and steel fittings rated for Class 125 and 150, it adheres to industry norms for pressure and safety without explicit RoHS or REACH claims, focusing on mechanical reliability in industrial settings.
