High Pressure Fittings - General

This subsection summarises requirements for high pressure (HP) socket weld andthreaded fittings as defined in ASME/ANSI B16.11-1991 and BS 3799:1974. Dimensionsare reproduced in pages 7-6 to 7-25, including coverage of Outlet fittings that are alsoused in high pressure applications.

SpecificationsThe specifications applicable to high pressure socket weld and threaded fittings are as follows:

❍ ASME/ANSI B16.11-1991 - Forged fittings,socket-welding and threaded.

❍ BS 3799:1974 - Steel pipe fittings, screwed andsocket-welding for the petroleum industry. Thisspecification is substantially the same as B16.11.

A summary of the fittings, sizes and pressureratings (class designations) covered by B16.11and BS 3799 is provided in the tables below. Thefirst table also shows the pipe weights defined ascompatible with the various classes of fitting.

Class designations in B16.11-1991 and BS 3799:1974

Notes1 Class designations correspond to the maximum cold working pressure of fittings in pounds force per square inch.2 The wall thicknesses quoted are not restrictive but do correlate for calculation of pressure ratings. Thicker or thinner pipe

may be used, but when thinner pipe is used its strength should govern the pressure rating.3 Bore dimensions for Class 3000 lb socket welding fittings correspond to Schedule 40 pipe.4 Bore dimensions for Class 6000 lb socket welding fittings correspond to Schedule 160 pipe.

Summary of coverage provided by B16.11-1991 and BS 3799:1974

Notes1 Plugs and bushes are not designated by Class and may be used for ratings up to Class 6000 lb.2 Swage nipples may be ordered in any combination of end preparation.

High Pressure Fittings - General

Dimensions and Tolerances❍ Dimensions . See pages 7-6 to 7-25 for HP fitting

dimensions.❍ Size Designations for Reducing Fittings .

❍ Tolerances specified in ASME/ANSI B16.11 areincluded in the dimension tables. BS 3799tolerances are substantially the same. Additionaltolerances are as follows:

Manufacture❍ ASME/ANSI B16.11-1991 . ASME/ANSI stainless

steel socket weld or threaded fittings are mostcommonly manufactured from materialconforming to ASTM A182 (see page 4-6).

❍ BS 3799:1974 . Manufacturing requirements aresubstantially the same as for B16.11. Stainlesssteel grades specified are as indicated in thepressure/temperature ratings table on page 7-4.

❍ Marking should include (in priority order): - Manufacturers name or trademark - Material identification (in accordance with A 182, - Class or pressure ratings (e.g. 3000 lb) - Size Markings may be omitted (least priority first fromabove list) if fitting size or shape imposes limits.

❍ Outlets . Socket weld and threaded outletscomply with B16.11 requirements, althoughB16.11 does not specifically cover outlets.

Pressure Ratings❍ General . The Class designation (e.g. 3000 lb) of

the high pressure fittings indicates the maximumcold working pressure.

❍ ASME/ANSI B16.11 Fittings . ASME/ANSIB16.11 specifies the allowable pressure/temperature rating to be that of seamless pipe ofthe equivalent material and wall thickness.

❍ BS 3799 Fittings . BS 3799 includes a table ofpressure/temperature rating. This is reproducedon page 7-4.

❍ Outlets . These fittings conform to the pressurerequirements of ASME/ANSI B16.11.

Outlets

Outlets may be used in place of welded or threaded tees to reduce costs and providemore flexible fabrication (‘run your pipe then weld on fittings’) while maintaining full pipestrength for all sizes, weights and schedules. The following pages contain the dimensiontables for socket weld, threaded and buttweld outlets. Note- Manufacture’s information is used as the basis for information in this outlets subsection. Manufacturers’ data may vary.

Specifications❍ Manufacture . Socket weld and threaded outlets

are manufactured to the requirements of ASME/ANSI B16.11 - Forged fitting, socket welding andthreaded, although outlet dimensions are notspecified in B16.11. Buttweld outlets aremanufactured to the requirements of ASME/ANSIB16.9 - Factory-made wrought steel buttweldingfittings, although outlet dimensions are notspecified in B16.9.

❍ Pressure Rating . Outlets are rated the same asseamless steel pipe, as defined in the AmericanNational Standard Codes for Pressure Piping,ANSI B31.1 and B31.3, the ASME Boiler andPressure Vessel Code. Refer to page 5-28 for asummary of pipe pressure rating calculations.

DesignationsIn order to reduce warehouse inventories, outlets of the same size are designed to be used with the a range ofrun pipe sizes. This can be done without causing a problem when welding because the resulting maximum gapbetween welded surfaces (caused by the curvature of the outlet when compared with the pipe) is only 1/32 in(0.8 mm). The table below shows the range of outlets available. For example: outlets with a run size range (e.g. 8 - 3 x 1/2) will fit on any size of run pipes in the range (e.g. 3,31/2, 4, 5, 6 or 8).

Low Pressure Threaded Fittings - General

This subsection summarises requirements for 150 lb low pressure (LP) threaded fittingsas defined in BS 1740 : Part 1 : 1971 (as confirmed October 1983) - Wrought steel pipefittings (screwed BSP thread). Dimensions and tolerances are reproduced in the followingpages. Stainless steel low pressure threaded fittings are in general accordance with thesedimensions and tolerances.

Dimensions and TolerancesBS 1740 dimensions are as detailed in the following pages. Length tolerances are as specified below.

Threading RequirementsFittings manufactured to BS 1740 are threaded in accordance with BS 21:1985, Pipe threads for tubes andfittings where pressure-tight joints are made on the threads (metric dimensions). Summary dimensions areincluded below. For further information on BS 21 threads see page 10-10.
