ASTM A182 F11 Forged Fittings are made to ASTM A182 / ASME SA182 F11 Class 2 for steam and refinery service. Socket weld and threaded fittings are dimensioned to ASME B16.11 for small-bore ASTM A182 F11 piping.
Raaj Fittings manufactures ASTM A182 F11 forged fittings in-house at our two plants in India, from ⅛" to 4" in Class 2000 to 9000, and exports them to EPC contractors, fabricators and stockists across the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, with full traceability and EN 10204 certificates.

ASTM A182 F11 socket weld and threaded fittings are forged and heat treated, then machined. Socket welds in chrome-moly need preheat and post-weld heat treatment like any other weld in the system.
| Pipe | Socket weld class | Threaded class |
|---|---|---|
| SCH 80 / XS | 3000 | 2000 |
| SCH 160 | 6000 | 3000 |
| XXS | 9000 | 6000 |
Every heat is PMI-verified and its chemistry and mechanical properties are confirmed against the material specification before the forged fittings are released. Each piece is marked with grade, size, rating and heat number for traceability to its EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate. EN 10204 3.2 certification and inspection by the buyer's nominated third-party agency are available on request, as are PED 2014/68/EU compliance for European projects and IBR certification for Indian boiler applications.
Heat treatment records and hardness results are reported for each heat.
F11 Class 2 is the most commonly specified for flanges and forged fittings; Class 1 and Class 3 have lower and higher strength requirements respectively.
Class 3000 socket weld fittings match SCH 80 pipe, Class 6000 matches SCH 160 and Class 9000 matches XXS. For threaded fittings, the matching classes are 2000, 3000 and 6000.
Every order is supplied with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates showing heat chemistry and mechanical properties to ASTM A182 F11 Class 2. EN 10204 3.2 certification and inspection by your nominated third-party agency are available on request.
