Take advantage of the strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel and the sturdy joins of buttwelds with short lead times on high-quality parts from American Stainless.
Don’t let misaligned welds cost you time and money.
When the wall thicknesses of your pipe and its fittings don’t line up, you get mismatched welds, weaker connections, reduced flow performance—and expensive rework.
Stainless steel buttweld flanges and pipe fittings provide strong, smooth connections you can trust the first time.
Why should you use buttweld flanges and pipe fittings?
Stainless steel buttwelds are a type of one-piece weld-on pipe fitting that offer full-strength welded joints that preserve pressure ratings across your system and reduce leak points while resisting corrosion and fatigue.

Enhanced Safety
Why choose stainless steel for buttweld pipe fittings?
Smooth Internal Bores
Stainless steel’s smooth surface doesn’t just make it easy to clean. For weld-on pipe fittings and flanges like buttwelds, it also minimizes flow disruption.
High-Stress Applications
Unlike other weld pipe fittings and flanges, stainless steel buttwelds are compatible with full-penetration welds, which create strong, unified joints.
Hygienic Properties
Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion and stands up to aggressive chemical exposure, making fittings and flanges ideal for sanitary applications.
Wide Availability
Stainless steel buttweld fittings come in various shapes, including elbows, reducers, caps, and tees, and in a range of schedules to match any pipe system.

Where is stainless steel used for buttweld pipe fittings?
Stainless steel’s excellent performance under high pressure, extreme temperatures, and corrosive operating environments makes it especially useful for buttweld flanges and fittings in industrial environments such as:
Food & Beverage Plants
In sanitary systems where contamination must be avoided, stainless steel buttweld fittings provide strong, clean joins.
Pulp and Paper Mills
Stainless steel buttwelds provide strong joins and resistance to the corrosive media flowing through bleach and digester lines.
Marine Systems
Stainless steel provides buttwelds in process and exhaust piping with excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion.
