Standard Cap: This is the most common type, designed to fit over the end of a pipe. It provides a tight seal and is used in various applications where the flow needs to be stopped.
Threaded Cap: This type has internal threads that allow it to be screwed onto a threaded pipe. It is useful in applications where a removable seal is required.
Welded Cap: This cap is designed to be welded onto the end of a pipe, providing a permanent seal. It is commonly used in high-pressure applications.
Material Grades
Carbon steel caps are available in various grades, with the most common being:
A106 Grade B: This is a common grade for high-temperature service and is often used in the oil and gas industry.
A234 WPB: This grade is used for fittings in pressure piping systems and is suitable for moderate to high-temperature applications.
A53: This grade is often used for structural purposes and is suitable for various applications, including water and gas lines.
Strength: Carbon steel is known for its high tensile strength, making it suitable for high-pressure applications.
Cost-Effectiveness: Carbon steel caps are generally more affordable than their stainless steel counterparts, making them a popular choice for many applications.
Versatility: Available in various sizes and configurations, carbon steel caps can be used in numerous applications across different industries.
Weldability: Carbon steel can be easily welded, allowing for secure and permanent connections in piping systems.
