What is male/female socket weld?

Socket welded connections are a type of welded connection where there is a male component that slides into a female component and then a fillet weld is made between the shoulder of the female component and shank of the male component.

Would like to back up rneill's contribution, and add that you're looking at a valve that has a "normal" SW end (female) with the other being male.
