For reliable pipe closure and pressure containment across diverse industries, Buttweld Caps from Fortis Forge are trusted for their high strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy. Engineered to seal the end of pipes securely, our caps conform to ASTM A234, ASME B16.9, and relevant DIN standards, ensuring durability in demanding industrial environments. Manufactured using carbon steel or mild steel, these caps provide excellent mechanical properties and leak-tight protection for piping systems.
Produced through a precision-controlled forging and forming process, Fortis Forge Buttweld Caps offer superior resistance to impact, oxidation, and high-pressure conditions. These pipe end caps are widely used to terminate the flow in pressure piping systems, prevent contamination, and allow for future system expansion or modifications.
Designed for compatibility with a wide range of pipe sizes and thicknesses, our caps are available in various schedules and comply with both seamless and welded fitting requirements. Whether used in oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, petrochemical, or water treatment plants, our buttweld pipe caps ensure safe isolation, maintenance efficiency, and long-lasting performance. Choose from standard end caps, hemispherical caps, and ellipsoidal caps to meet your specific project needs.
A Buttweld Cap is a pipe fitting used to seal the end of a piping system or pressure vessel. It acts as a protective device to stop fluid or gas flow and prevent contamination, corrosion, or damage to open pipe ends.
These caps are welded onto the end of a pipe and are designed to withstand high pressure and temperature environments, ensuring long-lasting system integrity.
At Fortis Forge, our Buttweld Caps are manufactured using:
Carbon Steel (ASTM A234 WPB)
→ Provides excellent strength, temperature resistance, and toughness—ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature systems in industrial and energy sectors.
Mild Steel (IS 2062)
→ Known for affordability, ductility, and ease of welding, making it suitable for low-pressure and general-purpose applications.
All caps are engineered with:
Precision end-beveling (per ASME B16.25)
Uniform wall thickness for balanced pressure distribution
Resistance to internal pressure, corrosion, and mechanical wear
Each Buttweld Cap undergoes:
Hot forming or cold pressing
Heat treatment for mechanical properties
CNC machining & beveling
