Buttweld Reducing Cross Supplier in Colombo, Sri Lanka – Unequal Cross Fittings – Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy & High Nickel Grades – ASME B16.9
Buttweld Reducing Cross Supplier in Colombo, Sri Lanka Prime Steel Corporation is a well-established manufacturer and exporter of Buttweld Reducing Cross and Unequal Cross fittings, serving industries throughout Colombo and expanding across Gampaha, Katunayake, Kandy, Trincomalee, Hambantota, and Jaffna. These specialized fittings are designed to distribute flow into four directions, where the main pipe and branch connections are of different diameters. Reducing Crosses are essential in process piping systems where a single pipeline splits into multiple paths with varying sizes, making them critical for fluid control and load distribution in industries like petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, and wastewater treatment. Available in both seamless and welded construction, our crosses conform to ASME B16.9 dimensional standards and are manufactured from high-quality Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Low-Alloy Steel, and High Nickel Alloys like Inconel, Monel, and Hastelloy. We ensure every fitting meets stringent quality norms with complete documentation, making us a preferred choice in Sri Lanka’s growing industrial infrastructure.
