What is Stainless Steel Pipe Cross

A stainless 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 stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making it suitable for various applications.

This fitting is crucial in systems requiring high purity and hygiene, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and marine environments. It allows for the distribution or collection of fluids from different directions, enhancing the efficiency and flexibility of the system.

Stainless steel crosses are valued for their strength, versatility, and ability to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring reliable performance and long service life.

Types of Stainless Steel Pipe Cross

Based on Connection Method
Type	Description
Butt Weld Stainless Steel Cross	Welded directly to pipes for a strong, leak-proof connection. Ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature systems.
Socket Weld Stainless Steel Cross	Pipes are inserted into sockets and fillet-welded. Suitable for smaller pipe sizes and high-pressure applications.
Threaded Stainless Steel Cross	Features threaded openings (NPT or BSP) for easy assembly and disassembly. Used in low to medium-pressure systems.
Based on Size Configuration
Type	Description
Equal Stainless Steel Cross	All four openings are of the same size. Used when connecting pipes of identical diameters.
Reducing Stainless Steel Cross	Openings have different sizes, allowing connection of pipes with varying diameters.
Based on Stainless Steel Grade
Type	Description
304/304L Stainless Steel Cross	General-purpose grade with good corrosion resistance and weldability. Suitable for most applications.
316/316L Stainless Steel Cross	Contains molybdenum for enhanced corrosion resistance, especially in chloride environments. Ideal for marine and chemical applications.
Duplex Stainless Steel Cross	Offers higher strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for extreme environments like offshore oil and gas.
Super Duplex Stainless Steel Cross	Provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance for highly demanding applications.
Based on Manufacturing Standards
Type	Description
ASME/ANSI Stainless Steel Cross	Manufactured to ASME/ANSI standards for use in industrial and commercial piping systems.
DIN Stainless Steel Cross	Complies with DIN standards, commonly used in European markets.
JIS Stainless Steel Cross	Manufactured to Japanese Industrial Standards for specific regional applications.
