Forged Elbows & Forged Tees
MDS Petrochemical manufactures and supplies forged pipe fittings to the exacting specification of the international petrochemical industry.
MDS Petrochemical supports forged pipe fittings requirements for petrochemical, process, pipeline and industrial applications. Our team can help customers specify forged fittings, forged branch fittings, forged elbows and related pipework components to suit the required material, size, pressure rating and application.
Types of Forged Pipe Fittings
MDS manufactures and supplies a range of forged pipe fittings including elbows, tees, crosses, couplings, caps, unions, plugs, bushes, nipples, swages and outlets.
Forged Branch Fittings and Forged Elbows
Forged branch fittings are used where a pipework system needs a reliable branch connection, while forged elbows are used to change the direction of pipework. MDS Petrochemical can support forged fitting enquiries where strength, reliability and correct specification are important.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are forged pipe fittings?
Forged pipe fittings are pipework components made by shaping metal under pressure to create strong, durable fittings for piping systems. They are commonly used in petrochemical, oil and gas, process and power generation applications where strength, reliability and correct specification are important.
What forged pipe fittings are available?
MDS Petrochemical manufactures and supplies a range of forged pipe fittings including forged elbows, tees, crosses, couplings, caps, unions, plugs, bushes, nipples, swages and outlets.
What are forged branch fittings?
Forged branch fittings are used where a pipework system needs a reliable branch connection from a main pipe run. They are commonly specified in industrial and petrochemical pipework systems where pressure, material grade and connection type must be correctly matched.
What are forged elbows used for?
Forged elbows are used to change the direction of pipework while maintaining a strong connection within the piping system. MDS Petrochemical can support forged elbow enquiries as part of wider forged pipe fitting requirements.
What is the difference between cast and forged pipe fittings?
Cast fittings are made by pouring molten metal into a mould, while forged fittings are shaped under pressure. Forged fittings are commonly selected where strength, durability and performance under demanding conditions are important.
What is the difference between wrought and forged pipe fittings?
Wrought fittings are formed through shaping processes such as rolling or bending, while forged fittings are produced by compressing metal under pressure. The right option depends on the pipework design, application, material and specification.
Can MDS Petrochemical help with related pipework products?
Yes. MDS Petrochemical can also support requirements for flanges, butt weld pipe fittings, carbon steel fittings, studbolt fasteners and valves.
