Carbon Steel Cross

Carbon Steel Cross is a type of pipe fitting used to connect four pipes at a right angle (90 degrees) in a piping system. It is specifically made from carbon steel, a durable and cost-effective material known for its strength and resistance to high pressure and temperature.

What is Carbon Steel Cross


A carbon steel cross, also known as a four-way pipe fitting, is designed to connect four pipes at 90-degree angles, forming a cross shape. Made from strong carbon steel, it provides robust connections in piping systems.


This fitting is crucial in industrial applications where multiple pipes need to intersect, such as in oil, gas, and water pipelines. It allows for the distribution or collection of fluids from different directions, enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of the system.


Carbon steel crosses are valued for their durability, high-pressure resistance, and cost-effectiveness, making them a reliable choice for complex piping networks.
