Wholesale Industrial Steel Four-way Pipes Factory, Exporter

The spool is a kind of pipe fitting used at the branch of the pipeline. The spool is divided into equal diameter and different diameter. The ends of the equal diameter spools are all the same size; The size of the nozzle of the branch pipe is smaller than that of the main pipe. For the use of seamless pipes to manufacture spools, there are currently two commonly used processes: hydraulic bulging and hot pressing. The efficiency is high; the wall thickness of the main pipe and the shoulder of the spool are increased. Due to the large tonnage of equipment required for the hydraulic bulging process of the seamless spool, the applicable forming materials are those with relatively low cold work hardening tendency. Application : chemitry industry , oil and gas industry etc.

Manufacturing & Processing Details
Forming is achieved by cold working or hot working methods such as mechanical processing. Applicable to carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, as well as non-ferrous metal materials like copper, aluminum, titanium, etc.
Due to the use of pressing spools after heating, the equipment tonnage required for material forming is significantly reduced. Hot-pressing spools offer high adaptability across wide material ranges, making them suitable for low carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel materials—especially for large-diameter and thick-wall spools.
Our Core Product Types: Carbon steel equal-diameter spools, carbon steel reducing cross, stainless steel equal diameter cross, stainless steel reducing cross, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What size ranges are available for seamless and slit four-way crosses?
Seamless crosses are available in outer diameters from 1/2" to 32" (DN15 to DN600), while slit crosses range from 4" to 78" (DN150 to DN1900).
What is the maximum wall thickness supported for these pipe fittings?
Our production line supports wall thicknesses ranging from 2mm up to a maximum of 150mm, covering various schedules from sch10 to xxs and sch80s.
What material grades are used in manufacturing four-way pipe crosses?
We manufacture using Carbon Steel (ASTM/ASME A234 WPB-WPC), Alloy Steel, Stainless Steel (304/316/321/347 series), Low Temperature Steel (WPL 3-WPL 6), and High Performance Steel (ASTM/ASME A860 WPHY).
Why is hot-pressing used for large diameter and thick wall pipe crosses?
Hot-pressing reduces the tonnage of equipment required for material forming by heating pressing spools, offering high adaptability for heavy-duty, large-diameter, and thick-wall applications.
Which main industries use these four-way fittings?
They are widely used in electric power, oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, shipbuilding, heating, papermaking, metallurgy, pharmaceuticals, and machinery manufacturing.
What international standards do your pipe products comply with?
Our products meet standard specifications including JIS B2311/B2312/B2313, GB/T12459, GB/T13401, SH/T3408, SY/T0609, DL/T695, HG/T21635, and GD series standards.
