[3] BUTTWELD
Specifications
AAP stocks Buttweld made from high quality carbon alloy steel to ASTM A234 which can be used in various piping systems.
The advantages of Buttweld include:
• Welding a fitting to the pipe means it is permanently leak proof.
• The continuous metal structure formed between pipe and fitting adds strength to the system.
• Smoother inner surface and gradual direction changes reduce the pressure losses and turbulence and minimises the action
of corrosion and abrasion.
• A welded system utilises a minimum of space.
