Advantages of Forged Pipe Fittings over Cast Iron or Ductile Iron Pipe Fittings

 

• Forged Pipe Fittings are mechanically much stronger over Cast Iron Fittings as they have a much tighter Grain Structure
• Unlike Cast Iron, Forged Pipe Fittings do not have the problem of having cavities and being porous.
• Based on numerous studies conducted, Forged Steel has approximately 26% higher tensile strength as compared to Cast Iron.
• Forged Steel has a 37% higher Fatigue strength which means that they have a much higher shelf life.
• Another very decisive advantage that Forged Steel Fittings have is that when they are pulled to failure, they have a 58% reduction in area. In comparison, Cast Iron Fittings have a 6% reduction in area. The result means that there would be a much greater deformation before failure in the case of Forged Steel Fittings.
