Buttweld fittings are available in various grades, primarily categorized by material type (carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, etc.) and specific material standards (like ASTM A234 for carbon steel or ASTM A403 for stainless steel). Within these categories, different grades (e.g., WPB, WP304/304L, WP316/316L) are specified, each with its own chemical composition and mechanical properties.
Here's a breakdown of common buttweld fitting grades:
1. Carbon Steel:
ASTM A234 WPB: This is the most common grade for carbon steel buttweld fittings, known for its weldability and suitability for general-purpose applications.
ASTM A234 WPC: Another carbon steel grade, often used in higher-pressure applications.
MSS-SP-75 WPHY: High-yield carbon steel grades (e.g., WPHY 42, 46, 52, 56, 60, 65, 70) used in high-pressure pipelines.
ASTM A420 WPL3/WPL6: Low-temperature carbon steel grades.
2. Stainless Steel:
ASTM A403 WP304/304L/304H: Austenitic stainless steel grades, with 304L being a low-carbon version for enhanced weldability.
ASTM A403 WP316/316L/316H: Austenitic stainless steel grades, with 316L being a low-carbon version, and 316Ti offering enhanced high-temperature strength.
Other Grades: 317/317L, 321, 310, 347, 904L, 2205 Duplex.
3. Alloy Steel:
ASTM A234 WP1/WP5/WP9/WP11/WP22/WP91: These grades are used in high-temperature and high-pressure applications.
4. Other Materials:
Nickel Alloys: Monel, Nickel, Inconel.
Copper Nickel: CuNi10Fe1Mn, CuNi30Mn1Fe.
Aluminum, Titanium, etc.: Various other materials are also used for specific applications.
ASME B16.9 is a common standard for buttweld fittings, specifying dimensions and tolerances.

A reducer is a component in a pipeline that reduces the pipe size from a larger to a smaller bore (inner diameter). The length of the reduction is usually equal to the average of the larger and smaller pipe diameters. There are two main types of reducer: concentric and eccentric reducers.
Concentric Reducers: The concentric reducer is cone-shaped, and is used when there is a shift in diameter between pipes. For example, when a 1â?³ pipe transitions into a 3/4â?³ pipe and the top or bottom of the pipe doesnâ??t need to remain level. Unlike eccentric reducers, concentric reducers have a common centerline.
Eccentric Reducer: An eccentric reducer is a fitting used in piping systems between two pipes of different diameters. They are used where the diameter of the pipe on the upstream side of the fitting (i.e. where the flow is coming from) is larger than the downstream side
