Sandco Metal Industries are renowned manufacturer, supplier and exporter of ANSI/ASME B16.9 Butt weld End Cap from past 25 years which includes stainless steel caps, carbon steel caps, alloy steel caps etc. Butt welding is a technique which is mainly used to connect parts which don’t overlap and are nearly parallel. Butt welding is economical and very reliable way for joining which is done by gradually heating up the two weld ends with a weld plate under a specific pressure.ANSI/ASME B16.9 Butt weld End Caps are used to cover the open end of a pipe. A cap attaches to the exterior of a pipe, and may have a solvent-weld socket end or a female-threaded interior which may be round, square, rectangular, U- or I-shaped. When the cap is cut off for the future connection, several inches of pipe must be left before the cap to allow a new fitting to be glued onto it. One of the most common manufacturing methods for ANSI/ASME B16.9 Butt weld End Cap is deep drawing. Deep drawing is the manufacturing process of forming sheet metal stock, called blanks, into geometrical or irregular shapes that are more than half their diameters in depth.We provide ANSI/ASME B16.9 Butt weld End Cap in various available grades and dimensions at affordable cost with no quality compromise. Our Butt weld fittings are available in all major grades of stainless steel (304/304L fittings, 316/316L/316Ti fittings, Super Duplex fittings, Duplex fittings, 904L fittings and other steels), carbon steel and alloy steel and are manufactured in accordance to ASME, ISO, EN and DIN standards.
