Forged

g Carbon Steel Fittings

g

Forged carbon steel fittings are produced out of bar product through a forging
process.

Forging is the process where a heated

work piece is forced between an upper
and lower die.
The die works like a cookie cutter and
shapes the heated work piece into the
desired shape.

Heated work pieces are forged in a press.

Once the material if forged it needs to be machined to the required specifications.

Machining takes place at CNCs who will machine several pieces at the same time.
See below.

Forged steel in divided in two main groups:

First group is shapes. Included in shapes are

90 andd 45 D
Degree Elb
Elbows, ttees, street

The second group is bar stock. Bar stock

includes couplings , bushings, plugs ...
 Forged Carbon Steel Fittings

Forged steel fittings are used in different applications. Most of the forged steel fittings CE Franklin
sells are used in the oil and gas industry.

Forged steel fittings come in different class designations. The designations are 2000, 3000, 6000 and 9000.

Forged steel fittings with a designation of 2000 come only with a threaded end finish. Fittings with a 3000
and 6000 designation can be supplied with a threaded or socket-weld end finish. Fittings with a 9000
designation are not a stocking item for CE Franklin but these fittings are only supplied in a socket-weld
end finish.

CE Franklin stocks forged steel fittings in two designations.

The most common designation

g is A/SA105N material,, the letter A is a abbreviation for the ASTM specification,
p , SA is
the abbreviation for the ASME specification. 105 is the actual material designation and this material is used for higher-
temperature service in pressure systems. Last N indicates that the material is normalized, normalizing is a heat
treatment of the fittings that takes place after the forging process.

The other designation CE Franklin carries in inventory is A/SA350 LF2 Cl 1, the A and SA stand for the same
specifications

Note: There is no CSA specification that covers forged steel.

for. In the example NPS 2.

Olets come with three different end finishes, butt-weld, socket weld and
threaded.

The run size indicates the size of pipe

Every Olet has a run size. The run size indicates the size of pipe the olet is manufactured for.
For example NPS 2 X 14 - 36 STD WOL SA105N - this weld olet is manufactured to fit on pipe

NPS 14 through
Elbowlets: The difference between an weld olet and a elbowlet is
that an elbowlet comes of a right angle of the pipe fitting
and the weld olet comes of a right angle of the pipe it is
welded on.
