Forged Socket Weld Half Coupling (A105, ASME B16.11)

Socket weld half coupling · forged A105 · ASME B16.11 · UAE stock

A forged sleeve with a single socket, the other end prepared to weld directly onto a pipe wall, tank or vessel. It provides a quick, economical small-bore branch or instrument connection where a full tee would be oversized.

Overview

Socket weld half couplings for branch and instrument nozzles

A socket weld half coupling is essentially one half of a full coupling. The socket end receives the branch pipe, while the plain end is set onto a hole cut in the header or vessel shell and welded around its base. It is a fast way to add drains, vents, thermowells and pressure tappings, but because it gives limited reinforcement, many piping specifications restrict it to branches well below the header size.

Hamza Fasteners supplies A105 socket weld half couplings from 1/8 to 4 inch in class 3000, with class 6000 for heavier lines. They are popular with tank fabricators, skid builders and maintenance crews across the UAE for adding instrument points and small branches. For larger branches we recommend sockolets. Contact our Dubai branch with the size and class to receive a quotation.

FAQ

Common questions

Is a half coupling as strong as a sockolet?
Not in terms of branch reinforcement. A sockolet is designed to MSS SP-97 to replace the metal removed from the header, while a half coupling relies on its own wall. For higher pressures or larger branch ratios most specifications call for an olet.
How is a half coupling welded to a vessel?
Cut a hole in the shell matching the coupling bore, set the plain end on or into the opening according to the drawing, and weld with a full penetration or fillet weld as the code requires. The branch pipe then welds into the socket.
Do you supply half couplings in many sizes?
Yes, from 1/8 to 4 inch in class 3000, with class 6000 on request. Both socket weld and threaded half couplings are available so you can match your branch connection type and header material. If a size is not on the shelf, we give a firm lead time before you commit.
How much do socket weld half couplings cost in Dubai?
Cost of socket weld half couplings is set by nominal size, class, material grade and quantity. Project and bulk orders are priced lower per piece. Share your take-off on WhatsApp and our Dubai team will quote the same day.
Do you deliver socket weld half couplings across the UAE, GCC and Africa?
Dubai and UAE orders are dispatched from stock, often next day. For KSA, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and African projects we arrange freight and paperwork, including mill test certificates to EN 10204 3.1 on request.
Can I get a threaded half coupling instead?
Yes. Threaded half couplings with an NPT female end are available in class 2000 and 3000 for screwed instrument connections, thermowells and plugs. They weld onto the header or vessel in the same way as the socket weld version.
