Steel Worlds Industries

Key Features:

Four-Way Connection: Designed with four openings, the cross fitting joins pipes at right angles for complex fluid or gas distribution systems.
Variety of Materials: Manufactured from materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, PVC, and CPVC, offering versatility for different environments and applications.
Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Cross fittings are rated based on material and design, with the ability to handle various pressure and temperature ranges as per system requirements.
Types of Connections: Available in threaded, welded, and socket-welded connections for compatibility with different piping systems.

Common Types:

Equal Cross: All four ends have the same diameter, typically used when fluid needs to be distributed equally.
Reducing Cross: Some of the four ends have different diameters, used to join pipes of varying sizes and ensure proper fluid flow management.

Standards and Specifications:

ANSI/ASME B16.9: Standards for factory-made steel buttwelding fittings.
ASTM A403: Specification for wrought stainless steel pipe fittings for pressure piping.
ISO 9001: Ensures the quality of cross fittings through standardized manufacturing processes.
