Socket Soft Brake

Socket welding gate valve refers to the gate valve connected by socket welding.

Simple socket welding is to insert the pipe into the gate valve connection for welding.

Socket welding is mainly used for welding small caliber valves and pipes, fittings and pipes. Small-caliber pipelines are generally thin-walled, prone to edge misalignment and ablation, and difficult to butt welding, which is more suitable for socket welding. In addition, socket welded sockets have a reinforcing effect, so they are often used under high pressure. However, socket welding also has shortcomings. One is that the stress condition after welding is not good, and it is prone to weld incomplete, and there are gaps in the pipe system. Therefore, socket welding is not suitable for the pipeline system used for the sensitive medium of crevice corrosion and the pipeline system with high cleanliness requirements. Moreover, the wall thickness of ultra-high pressure pipeline is very large even if it is small diameter, so butt welding can be used to avoid socket welding as far as possible.
