  • They are the first choice of four-way pipe fittings for global European-standard foreign trade engineering projects. The products are strictly produced in accordance with the EN10253-2/4 official EU standards,
  • Precisely distinguish pressure-reducing Type A and full-pressure Type B models
  • Working condition compatibility far exceeds general fittings
  • completely eliminating the hidden danger of insufficient pressure-bearing capacity under high-pressure working conditions. Small and medium diameters are seamlessly hot-pressed and integrally formed, with no weld seam leakage risk,

Detailed Introduction

European standard cross fittings are produced according to EN 10253-2 (carbon steel and alloy steel) and EN 10253-4 (stainless steel), and are compliant with the EU PED Pressure Equipment Directive. Structurally, they are divided into two categories: equal and reducing: equal cross fittings are used for cross-symmetrical branching of main pipelines, and reducing cross fittings are used for reducing branching between the main pipe and branch pipes of multiple specifications. Pressure ratings cover PN10–PN160, among which the pressure-bearing capacity of the Type B full-pressure type is consistent with that of straight pipes of the same specification, and the Type A reduced-pressure type is suitable for conventional working conditions with sufficient pressure margin. In terms of manufacturing process, small diameters adopt seamless hot-pressed forming, and large diameters adopt rolled and welded steel plate, with outer diameter, bevel, wall thickness reduction, and dimensional tolerances executed according to European standards. Hydraulic testing and UT/RT non-destructive testing can be performed, and EN 10204-3.1B/3.2 inspection certificates are supported. Before purchasing, it is recommended to confirm the diameter, pressure rating, material, Type A or Type B, and whether a third-party inspection certificate is required. You are welcome to contact us for assistance with selection and quotation.

  • Produced according to EN 10253-2/4, distinguishing between Type A reduced-pressure type and Type B full-pressure type. The pressure-bearing capacity of Type B is consistent with that of straight pipes of the same specification, making it easy to match pressure ratings according to working conditions.
  • Diameter coverage is DN15–DN1200, with complete equal and reducing structures. Small diameters are seamless hot-pressed, and large diameters are rolled and welded, adapting to the European standard steel pipe outer diameter system.
  • Materials cover P265GH and P235GH carbon steel, 16Mo3 and 13CrMo44 alloy steel, 1.4301 and 1.4404 stainless steel, and duplex steel, and can be selected according to medium and temperature conditions.
  • Hydraulic testing and UT/RT non-destructive testing can be performed, and EN 10204-3.1B/3.2 inspection certificates are supported, facilitating acceptance by overseas engineering supervision and customs clearance.
  • Supports customization according to European standard drawings for non-standard diameters, unconventional reducing ratios, extended straight pipe sections, and surface treatment. Sampling lead time is 3–5 days.
