Equal / Reducing Cross

Industrial Buttweld Cross – Fabricated to ASME B16.9, MSS SP-75, DIN 2615. Available in 304/316 SS, A234 WPB, Duplex, and exotic alloys. Equal & Reducing Crosses in all standard schedules. Seamless/welded types, ready for bulk export.

Bhavani Industries specializes in the manufacturing and supply of high-quality Buttweld Pipe Crosses, designed to meet the critical demands of complex piping systems. A buttweld cross, also known as a four-way fitting, is used to divide or combine fluid flow through four connection points. It consists of one inlet and three outlets, arranged at 90 degrees to each other. These fittings are essential in process piping where multiple pipelines converge or branch from a central line. We offer both Equal Crosses, where all four openings are of the same diameter, and Reducing Crosses, which have a different branch size to accommodate varying flow rates.

Equal crosses are typically used in balanced flow systems where equal distribution is required in all directions, making them suitable for high-volume pipelines. Reducing crosses, on the other hand, are ideal for applications where flow needs to be redirected into smaller diameter branches, offering better control and optimized pressure distribution. These crosses are widely used in industries like petrochemical, oil & gas, chemical processing, power plants, and water treatment, where durable and leak-proof branch connections are essential for performance and safety. With precise dimensional accuracy and smooth internal finishes, our crosses ensure minimal pressure drop and consistent fluid movement.

Our buttweld crosses are manufactured in sizes ranging from ½” to 48” (DN15 to DN1200) and are available in wall thicknesses from SCH 5 to SCH 160 / XXS. All fittings conform to global quality standards such as ASME B16.9, ASTM A234, ASTM A403, MSS-SP-75, and EN 10253, ensuring compatibility and reliability in demanding applications. We offer these fittings in a variety of material grades including Stainless Steel (304, 316, 321, 347, 904L), Carbon Steel (ASTM A234 WPB, WPC), Alloy Steel (WP11, WP22, WP91), and Nickel Alloys (Inconel 600/625, Monel 400, Hastelloy C276, Alloy 20). Manufacturing processes include cold forming, hydraulic pressing, CNC machining, and precision beveling to meet project-specific tolerances.

The use of buttweld crosses allows for streamlined system layouts, reduced need for extra fittings, and better control over complex pipe routing. They help minimize turbulence at branch intersections and improve the overall integrity of the pipeline. All Bhavani Industries’ fittings undergo stringent non-destructive testing such as PMI, UT, RT, hydro testing, and are optionally inspected by third-party agencies upon customer request. Our commitment to engineering excellence, material traceability, and on-time delivery ensures that each cross fitting contributes to the long-term efficiency and reliability of your piping system.
