Global Manufacturing & Supply of ASME B16.9 Buttweld Pipe Fittings
Rajtilak Metal is one of India’s premier ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturers and exporters of seamless and welded butt weld fittings, operating modern forging and press lines in Mumbai since 1991. We supply EPC contractors, chemical plants, offshore platforms and power generation facilities across North America, Europe and the Middle East.
Governed by ASME B16.9 (wrought factory-made butt-welding fittings) and MSS SP-43 (for lightweight stainless steel schedules), our fitting range encompasses seamless construction from 1/2″ to 24″ and fabricated welded construction up to 48″. Designed for high-integrity piping systems, butt weld joints offer continuous metal flow, maximum burst resistance and minimal flow turbulence compared to socket weld or threaded alternatives.
