Difference Between Swage Nipple And Bull Plugs

Swage Nipple and Bull Plugs is a kind of pipe reducer product that is used to connect pipes in different dimensions. It has various end forms and TBE (threaded both ends) type is very prevalent among concentric swage nipples. Metallica is a well-known manufacturer and supplier of Swage Nipples, Bull Plugs, Concentric Swage Nipples, Eccentric Swage Nipples, and NPT/BSPT Threaded Swage Nipples for the clients from oil and gas, petrochemicals, railway, construction and other industries. Swage nipples may be made to special dimensions, size, shape, tolerances, or of other wrought material by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. We can produce swage nipples in the size range of 1/2″ to 8″.
The most common and materials include ASTM A105, ASTM A182 F304, F316, F304L, F316L, and A182 F5/F9/F11/F22/F91. In nickel alloys we manufacturing swage nipples in various grades such as Alloy 200, 201, 400, K500, 600, 625, 800H/HT, 825, X-750, C276, Hastelloy B & C22

Forged Socket Weld & Threaded Pipe Fittings Manufacturing Standards

  • ASTM A182 – ASME SA182 – Standard Specification for Wrought Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping Fittings
  • ASTM A182 – ASME SA182 – Standard Specification for Wrought Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping Fittings
  • ASME B16.11 – Socket Welding and Threaded Forged Fittings
  • MSS SP-43 – Wrought and Fabricanted Butt-Welding Fittings for Low Pressure, Corrosion Resistant Applications
  • MSS SP-95 – Swage (d) Nipples and Bull Plugs
  • BS3799 – Specification for Steel pipe fittings, screwed and Socket-welding for the petroleum industry
  • MSS SP-83 – Socket Welding and Threaded Steel Pipe Unions
  • MSS SP-97 – Integrally Reinforced Forged Branch Outlet Fittings –Socket Welding, Threaded, and Buttwelding Ends

Socket weld and threaded fittings are generally used for small size pipes and piping systems (generally below 4 inches in diameter for Class 3000, and below 2 inches for fittings in class 6000 and 900). Forged pipe fittings are manufactured by forging, followed by heat treatment and machining solid steel as per the dimensional standards. For bigger size piping systems buttweld pipe fittings produced as per ASME B16.9 are used.

What is Bull Plug

Manufacturers of Bull Plug, Bull Plug for Oil and Gas Industries, Bull Plug Dimensions, API 6A Bull Plug Pipe Fitting, BS3799 Hex Bull Plug, ANSI B16.11 NPT Threaded Bull Plug, High-Pressure Screwed Bull Plugs.

Bull Plug Connecting

Bull Plug Pipe Fittings are utilized in wellbore tubular piping systems or conduits. It is a solid plug used as an isolation device in the piping system that has a threaded nipple with a rounded, closed end that is used to seal off the end of a line or plug a hole. Bull Plugs serve as a way to drain a line during repair operations.
According to MSS SP-95, threaded bull plugs are made from A105 bar stock. The range of nominal pipe sizes is 1/12" to 4". Hex Bull Plugs are offered in Schedule 40, Double Extra Heavy, and Solid Extra Heavy specifications. Schedules 80 and 160. High-Pressure Bull Plugs are made with square-cut (for socket welding), grooved, threaded, or beveled (per ASME B16.25) end finishes. Based on the materials used to make bull plugs, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, high nickel alloys, etc., all measurements and weights are given in inches.
