Haihao Group Supplies MSS SP-97 Socket Weld Branch Outlets to a UAE Customer

Haihao Group has successfully completed a new shipment of Class 3000 socket weld branch outlets to a long-term customer in the United Arab Emirates, supporting their high-pressure piping expansion project. The supplied branch fittings are manufactured from A182 F316L stainless steel and ASTM A105N forged carbon steel, fully compliant with MSS SP-97.

These socket weld outlets—often referred to as sockolets—are engineered to provide secure, high-strength branch connections for pipelines operating under demanding pressure and temperature conditions commonly found in UAE oil, gas, and industrial facilities.

A182 F316L Socket Weld Branch Outlets (Class 3000)

The order included precision-forged stainless steel outlets designed for corrosive or chloride-containing environments:

• 2″ × 0.5″ SW branch outlet, Class 3000
• 2″ × 0.75″ SW branch outlet, Class 3000

F316L stainless steel is widely selected for its resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and high-temperature service, making these outlets ideal for offshore platforms, chemical processing systems, and water treatment facilities in the Gulf region.

ASTM A105N Carbon Steel Socket Weld Branch Outlets (Class 3000)

Haihao Group also supplied a full range of ASTM A105N forged steel outlets, covering various header sizes and branch sizes:

• 1″ × 0.5″ Class 3000 SW outlet
