Product Overview
In the architectural design of industrial fluid networks, the Schedule Cross is an essential fitting used to create multi-directional distribution hubs. Unlike standard tees, the cross allows for a four-way intersection on a single plane, saving space and reducing the number of individual welds required in dense piping manifolds.
High-Pressure Distribution and Strength
Our crosses are specifically engineered for buttweld connections, which provide a permanent and highly secure joint. The symmetrical design ensures that internal pressures are distributed evenly across the four branches. This structural balance is critical in high-pressure systems where mechanical stress and vibration are constant, making these crosses a reliable choice for professional-grade industrial applications.
Seamless Flow and Maintenance
The internal geometry of our schedule crosses is precision-machined to provide a smooth transition at the intersection. This minimizes turbulence and prevents the localized erosion often caused by abrupt directional changes in the flow path. By using a single cross instead of multiple fittings, you simplify your system’s layout, making future inspections and maintenance more efficient.
Material Integrity and Compliance
Fabricated from AISI 304 or 316L Stainless Steel and compliant with ASTM A403 and ASME B16.9 specifications, these fittings are built to resist oxidation and chemical degradation. The 316L variant is particularly suited for aggressive chemical environments and offshore applications, providing the metallurgical consistency and wall thickness required to match your Schedule 10 or Schedule 40 piping.
