Item # W-WELD BOSS
Weld Boss
- UM: M
A weld boss is a precision-machined metal component designed to be welded onto a parent surface to create a reinforced mounting point with added thickness and strength. Once installed, the weld boss can be drilled and tapped or used as a socket or butt-weld connection for pipes, tubes, sensors, and fittings used in transformer tank assemblies.
In transformer tank fabrication, weld bosses provide secure, leak-resistant connection points for instrumentation and auxiliary components. By concentrating material where connections are required, they improve structural integrity and support reliable long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
Tengco weld bosses are typically manufactured from ASTM A105 carbon steel or selected stainless steel grades based on pressure ratings, corrosion resistance requirements, and application needs. Each component is produced for consistent fit, weldability, and dimensional accuracy.
- Reinforced weld-on mounting point for transformer tank components
- Adds localized thickness and structural strength
- Suitable for drilling, tapping, or socket/butt-weld connections
- Common materials include ASTM A105 carbon steel and stainless steel grades
- Designed for pressure-rated and industrial fabrication applications
