2000# forged fittings, properly called Class 2000 fittings, are forged steel fittings made to ASME B16.11 (threaded only) and used for threaded utility, water, air and low-pressure service lines on SCH 80 pipe. The class is not a pressure in psi: it tells you which pipe wall the fitting matches, and the fitting is then rated the same as that pipe.
Raaj Fittings forges and machines Class 2000 fittings at our two plants in India in carbon, low-temperature, alloy and stainless steel, duplex and nickel alloys, and exports them across the Middle East, Europe and the Americas.

Choose the fitting class from the pipe schedule, not from the operating pressure: a Class 2000 fitting on the matching pipe is at least as strong as the pipe itself, and the joint is rated as the pipe.
Every Class 2000 fitting is made from PMI-verified material, dimensionally inspected against the ordered standard and marked with material, size, rating and heat number. Orders are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 certificates; EN 10204 3.2 certification and inspection by the buyer's nominated third-party agency are available on request.
It is the ASME B16.11 class designation, Class 2000. It is not a pressure rating in psi; it matches the fitting to a pipe wall thickness, and the fitting is rated the same as that pipe.
Threaded Class 2000 fittings match SCH 80 / XS pipe.
No. ASME B16.11 uses Class 2000 only for threaded fittings; the lightest socket weld class is 3000.
Carbon steel A105, low-temperature A350 LF2 and LF3, alloy steel F11 / F22 / F91, stainless steel F304L / F316L and others, duplex F51 / F53 / F55 and nickel alloys.
