The DN15-50 SS304 Equal Cross Marine Industrial fitting serves as a precision-engineered junction solution for marine and industrial piping systems requiring balanced flow distribution. Crafted from 304 stainless steel (18-8 chromium-nickel alloy), this equal cross fitting features four identical ports sized from DN15 (1/2”) to DN50 (2”) to maintain uniform pressure distribution across connected lines . Rated for operating pressures up to 150 psi (10.3 bar) at 70°F (21°C) and compliant with ASME B16.11 standards for forged fittings, it provides exceptional resistance to oxidation and mild corrosives in coastal and industrial environments . The fitting’s seamless forged construction eliminates potential leak points, making it ideal for critical fluid transfer applications where system integrity is paramount.
Precision-machined internal passages with a surface finish of Ra 1.6 μm ensure equal flow distribution with less than 5% pressure drop across all outlet ports, preventing turbulent flow in multi-line systems .
The 304 stainless steel composition offers excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion and freshwater exposure, exceeding 500 hours of salt spray testing per ASTM B117 before showing signs of corrosion .
Hot-forged manufacturing eliminates internal voids, providing a tensile strength of 70,000 psi and impact resistance of 20 ft-lbs at -4°F (-20°C), ensuring durability in vibration-prone environments .
Available with NPT, BSPP, or socket weld connections, the fitting accommodates various installation requirements, including permanent and temporary piping configurations in marine facilities.
This equal cross fitting is essential for:
• Marine Cooling Systems: Distributing seawater to multiple heat exchangers in engine rooms.
• Industrial Water Treatment: Balancing flow in chemical dosing lines and filtration systems.
• Food Processing Plants: Sanitary distribution of cleaning solutions and process water.
• Coastal HVAC Systems: Dividing refrigerant lines in marine climate control setups.
• Waterfront Construction: Managing potable water and fire suppression lines in coastal buildings.
At 150 psi, the fitting maintains integrity at temperatures up to 400°F (204°C). For higher temperatures, pressure must be derated by 25% for every 100°F above 200°F.
The 304 stainless steel’s chromium content forms a protective oxide layer that self-repairs when exposed to oxygen, preventing rust even in humid marine environments .
It is suitable for mild chemicals and sanitizers but not for strong acids or chlorides exceeding 100 ppm. For aggressive media, consider 316 stainless steel alternatives.
For NPT connections: 25-30 ft-lbs for DN15-DN25; 40-45 ft-lbs for DN32-DN50. Always use a thread sealant compatible with the conveyed fluid.
