Butt weld caps close the end of a pipe run. Explore the fitting details and material options, then specify the pipe size and wall thickness your project requires.
Sizes & dimensional standards ↓A cap forms a welded end closure. Its dimensions and material must match the piping specification and service requirements.
The open end of the cap joins to the pipe end. Specify the connecting pipe dimensions and the required end preparation for technical review.
The closed profile terminates the pipe run. Confirm the cap dimensions and available installation space against the applicable standard or approved drawing.
A butt weld cap is a welded closure. If the end needs routine access or removal, the system designer should specify an appropriate removable closure arrangement.

Use the project specification to confirm the required dimensions, material and inspection scope.
Identify the applicable fitting standard and edition, nominal size, wall thickness, end preparation and any drawing-specific dimensions.
Explore dimensional standards →Specify the exact material grade, certificate requirements and any project-specific testing or inspection.
Explore material standards →The project designer determines the closure arrangement and suitability for the intended service.
Use the approved piping layout to identify end closures, connecting sizes and the space available for installation and welding.
Include cap requirements in the fabrication drawing or bill of materials, with material identification and inspection requirements.
Include the following information with your cap enquiry.
Nominal size and connecting pipe dimensions.
Required schedule or specified wall thickness.
Material specification and exact grade designation.
Applicable standard and edition, or an approved dimensional drawing.
Certificate, testing, marking and inspection requirements.
Quantity, required delivery date and destination.

Exact sizes, tolerances and pattern availability must be checked in the applicable standard or approved drawing. Publisher access may require purchase.
The open end is welded to the pipe end. The project specification and welding requirements determine the end preparation and joining procedure.
No. A butt weld cap forms a welded closure, while a blind flange is part of a bolted flange arrangement. The appropriate closure depends on the system design and access requirements.
Pipe size is only one part of the specification. Provide wall thickness, material grade, the applicable standard or drawing, and inspection requirements so the full requirement can be reviewed.
Send a dimensional drawing and the material, service and inspection requirements. Availability and manufacturing feasibility need to be confirmed for the specific request.
