What are Integral Fittings?

Integral fittings are essential components in the oil and gas industry, connecting pipes and equipment in high-pressure systems. Unlike welded or threaded fittings, integral fittings are made from a single piece of high-strength alloy steel, providing enhanced durability, reliability, and resistance to leakage. These fittings are commonly used in critical applications where high pressure and harsh service conditions, such as sour gas service, are prevalent. With pressure ratings of up to 20,000 PSI CWP, integral fittings are vital to the smooth and safe operation of oilfield systems.
