A Forged Cross is a four-way pipe fitting used to connect four pipes meeting at a single junction—one inlet and three outlets (or vice versa). It is manufactured by forging process, which enhances its mechanical strength and grain structure, making it highly durable under high pressure and temperature conditions.
This fitting is typically produced in accordance with ANSI/ASME B16.11 and BS 3799 standards, ensuring precision and dimensional consistency. Forged crosses are commonly available in Threaded (NPT/BSP) and Socket Weld configurations and are offered in various pressure ratings such as 3000#, 6000#, and 9000#.
Due to their structural stability and strength, forged crosses are widely used in oil & gas pipelines, chemical processing plants, power generation units, petrochemical refineries, shipbuilding yards, and offshore drilling facilities. They are particularly beneficial in applications that require compact design and the ability to withstand cyclic stresses, corrosive environments, and aggressive media flow.
Every Forged Cross manufactured undergoes rigorous quality control processes to ensure it meets both international standards and client expectations. These fittings are produced under certified quality management systems such as:
Key Advantages of 45° Forged Elbows:
In addition to certifications, the fittings are subjected to extensive inspections including visual and dimensional checks, PMI (Positive Material Identification), hydro testing, NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) like ultrasonic or radiographic testing, and hardness tests—especially for materials such as A105N, LF2, F304, F316, F22, F53, F55, Inconel 625, and Monel 400.
Complete documentation such as Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1/3.2) and third-party inspection reports are provided upon request, meeting the stringent requirements of clients across Europe, the USA, Middle East, and Gulf countries.
At Nutech, we ensure that all Forged Cross Fittings are packaged to meet international export standards, guaranteeing product integrity during long-distance transit. Each fitting is individually protected using poly bags, then placed in sturdy corrugated boxes, and finally packed in fumigated wooden crates or pallets for bulk orders. This triple-layer packaging method prevents any risk of damage caused by impact, corrosion, or moisture.
For international deliveries, we provide both Air Freight and Sea Freight options. Urgent or small-quantity orders are usually dispatched via air cargo, while large-volume shipments are sent through sea containers (LCL or FCL, depending on quantity). We work with reliable freight forwarders to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery to major ports and airports across the USA, Europe, Middle East, and Gulf countries.
Each export consignment includes essential documents such as Material Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1), Packing List, Commercial Invoice, Heat Number Traceability, and Country of Origin Certificate, ensuring smooth customs clearance and full transparency.
Cross Pipe Fittings are classified based on their pressure ratings, end connections, and configuration. At Nutech, we supply the following major types of Forged Crosses to meet various piping requirements:
All four outlets are of equal size. These are widely used to evenly distribute flow in high-pressure piping systems.
One or more outlets are of a different (smaller) size, allowing for pipe size transitions within the system without additional fittings.
Features socket ends for welding pipes with high-pressure strength and leak-free connections, often used in applications up to 6000 PSI.
Designed with NPT or BSP threaded ends, these are ideal for low-pressure or maintenance-heavy systems where disassembly is needed.
We proudly export our high-quality Forged Cross Fittings to a wide range of countries across the globe. Our primary export markets include:
BS 3799 Cross Fittings are most effectively used in complex, high-pressure piping layouts where four pipes need to intersect at a single point. Their robust structure and precise forging make them ideal for systems demanding equal or divided flow in critical industries such as:
Their compact shape helps reduce turbulence and pressure loss at intersection points, which is essential for smooth operation and long service life in such demanding environments.
Industrial-grade cross fittings, especially those manufactured through precision forging, play a critical role in ensuring leak-free flow distribution across intersecting pipelines. Designed using robust materials like carbon steel A105, stainless steel F304/F316, and Duplex S31803, these components are ideal for demanding environments where pressure integrity is vital.
Their solid-body construction eliminates weak weld points, offering enhanced durability under high stress and thermal cycles. With strict adherence to dimensional accuracy and supported by non-destructive testing, these pipe components provide long-term safety and performance in sectors such as petrochemical, power generation, and offshore oil platforms.
