Carbon Steel SCH40 Butt Weld End-Cap
A Carbon Steel SCH40 Butt Weld End-Cap is a type of pipe fitting used to seal the end of a pipe in a piping system, featuring a Schedule 40 (SCH40) wall thickness and a butt-weld connection with the following properties:
- Carbon Steel: Made from steel that contains carbon as the primary alloying element, providing strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
- SCH40 (Schedule 40): Refers to the wall thickness of the pipe fitting, which is standardized according to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
- Butt Weld End-Cap: A type of pipe fitting that seals the end of a pipe, featuring a butt-weld connection.
Key Features:
- Schedule 40 Wall Thickness: Features a standardized wall thickness, providing a balance between strength, durability, and cost.
- Carbon Steel Construction: Made from carbon steel, providing strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion.
- Butt-Weld Connection: Features a butt-weld connection, allowing for a strong and leak-tight seal.
- Seals Pipe End: Seals the end of a pipe, preventing fluid leaks and spills.
