Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This thick-wall stainless steel threaded pipe nipple is engineered to solve critical challenges in high-pressure and corrosive fluid handling systems. The seamless 316/316L stainless steel construction provides inherent strength, eliminating the risk of leaks at seam welds, which is a common failure point in demanding hydraulic fluid and steam applications. Its NPT thread type ensures a tight, pressure-resistant seal, crucial for maintaining system integrity in oil and natural gas pipelines. The Schedule 80 wall thickness offers superior burst pressure resistance, making it an ideal, durable connector in chemical processing, power generation, and marine industries where reliability is non-negotiable and downtime must be minimized.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This pipe nipple conforms to ASME B1.20.1 for NPT thread dimensions and ASTM A733 for the specification of welded and seamless carbon and austenitic stainless steel pipe nipples. It is manufactured with precision to standard pipe sizes (1 1/2") and features a 14-inch length with threaded male ends. The product is fully RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) Compliant, adhering to restrictions on hazardous substances for industrial safety and environmental responsibility.
