Our stainless steel sockets are manufactured to the highest quality. Each piece is thoroughly tested in terms of hardness, chemical analysis, PMI testing, flattening, as well as micro and macro test, pitting resistance, flaring, and IGC tests. We give documentation that includes commercial invoice, packing lists, Certificated of Origin, and a letter of guarantee for everything that’s put under transparency. To spice things, we have third-party inspection certificates that affirm the customer’s satisfaction and product quality.
Stainless steel sockets are highly resistant to corrosion due to their chromium content, but they may corrode under extreme conditions, such as exposure to harsh chemicals or seawater. Regular maintenance ensures longevity.
Stainless steel sockets can attract magnets if they are made from ferritic or martensitic stainless steel, which contain magnetic properties. However, austenitic stainless steel, commonly used, is non-magnetic.
Yes, stainless steel sockets can be recycled after use. Stainless steel is a highly recyclable material, and recycling it helps reduce environmental impact while conserving valuable resources.
Yes, stainless steel sockets can be used for underground applications. Their corrosion resistance makes them suitable for harsh environments, ensuring durability and performance in buried or underground installations.
Stainless Steel Sockets are widely used for connecting pipes and tubing in both industrial and commercial piping systems. They excel in applications such as oil and gas pipelines, chemical and petrochemical facilities, water treatment plants, and manufacturing machinery. These sockets guarantee leak-proof connections, which help minimize maintenance needs and reduce downtime. Additionally, they find use in food and pharmaceutical processing, HVAC systems, and hydraulic lines, where reliability and resistance to corrosion are essential.
