Alloy Steel A182 Swage Nipple Dimensions
They are concentric and eccentric available, with various ends. The most common types are:
PBE nipple = Plain Both Ends
BBE nipple= Beveled Both Ends
TBE nipple= Treaded Both Ends
Production Description
Alloy Steel A182 Swage Nipple Dimensions (also known as reducing nipple) is a forged pipe fitting. It is used to change the diameter of the pipe and connect two pipes of different sizes.
A pipe nipple is a length of straight pipe with male threads on both ends. It is one of the most popular category of pipe fittings. It is a connector or a coupling threaded on both ends. PBE Pipe nipples are used to allow plumbing to be connected to a water heater or other plumbing. They are used to fit straight end hose or pipe. A combination of pipe nipples are recommended for low-pressure discharge and suction service for various compatible liquids and not for compressible products like air, nitrogen or steam.
Shapes:
Concentric: Concentric swage nipple is mainly used for vertical pipeline.
Eccentric: eccentric swage nipple is mainly used in horizontal pipelines.
End Types:
PBE=Plain Both Ends
PLE=Plain Large End
PSE=Plain Small End
POE=Plain One End
TOE=Thread One End
TBE=Thread Both Ends
TLE=Thread Large End
TSE=Thread Small End
BBE=Bevel Both Ends
BLE=Bevel Large End
Product features
Swage nipples are often used in small diameter pipe systems, and are similar to butt weld reducers.
They are concentric and eccentric available, with various ends. The most common types are:
PBE nipple = Plain Both Ends
BBE nipple= Beveled Both Ends
TBE nipple= Treaded Both Ends

Swage Nipple Weight Chart in kg
ASTM A182 F5 is a forging material specification for F5 grade alloy steel and is used for manufacturing bare forgings or forged and machined products for applications involving high temperature service.
It has a fairly high electrical conductivity among wrought alloy steels in the same category. In addition, it has a moderately high base cost and a moderately high embodied energy.
