An SS 304 cross is a four-way fitting with branches at 90°, made from SS 304 to ASTM A403 WP304 (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F304 (forged). Crosses join four pipes in one fitting. They are used less than tees because of stress concentration, but save space in fire-water and utility systems.

SS 304 Cross — questions buyers ask
Why are crosses less common than tees?
They concentrate stress at four junctions; most designers use two tees unless space is critical.
Which standard covers SS 304 crosss?
The material is ASTM A403 WP304 (buttweld) · ASTM A182 F304 (forged); dimensions follow ASME B16.9 · B16.11. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a SS 304 cross?
The alloy price, the size and schedule or class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
