| What is the main purpose of a Stub End? |
A stub end creates a flanged connection where the flange itself is not welded to the pipe but sits loosely behind the stub, allowing for easy rotation and alignment. |
| Are you an SS 304 Stub End Fittings Supplier in Mumbai? |
Yes, we are a Mumbai-based supplier with a comprehensive inventory of stub ends to meet the needs of industries across Maharashtra and India. |
| What is the difference between Short and Long pattern Stub Ends? |
Short pattern stub ends have a shorter overall length and are typically used with lower pressure flanges, while Long pattern stub ends are longer to accommodate larger backing flanges. |
| Can SS 304 Stub Ends be used with Carbon Steel flanges? |
Yes, this is the most common application. The SS 304 stub end handles the fluid contact, while the cheaper Carbon Steel flange provides the bolting pressure. |
| Do you provide Mill Test Certificates? |
Yes, we provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC) as per EN 10204 3.1 with every order to verify the chemical and mechanical properties of the stainless steel. |
| Is welding required for a Stub End? |
Yes, the stub end itself is butt-welded to the pipe. The lap joint flange is slipped over the stub end before welding. |
| What standards do your stub ends meet? |
Our stub ends are manufactured to ANSI/ASME B16.9 and MSS SP-43 dimensions, ensuring compatibility with standard pipe sizes and lap joint flanges. |
| Can these fittings be used for high-pressure applications? |
Yes, when used with appropriate high-pressure backing flanges and welded correctly, stub ends are suitable for many industrial pressure ratings. |
