6 ln 1921, the American Engineering Standards Cornittee, later the American Standards Association (ASA), organized Sectional Committee B16 to unify and further develop national standards for pipe flanges and fittings (and, later, for valves, gaskets, and valve actuators). Cosponsors of the B16 Committee were The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ACME), the Heating and Piping Contractors National Association [now the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA)], and the Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry (MSS). Cosponsors were later designated as cosecretariat organizations. Standardization of welding fittings was initiated in 1937 by a subgroup (designated Subgroup 6) of Subcommittee 3. After consideration of several drafts, a standard was approved by the Committee, cosponsors, and ASA, and published with the designation ASA B Revisions were made in 1950 and 1955 to add sizes up to NPS 24 and to complete coverage of fittings in some sizes. These revisions were approved and published as ASA B and ASA B With the subgroup now designated Subcommittee 6 (later Subcommittee F), further revisions were begun to clarify the intent of the standard, to add angularity tolerances, and to include fittings of different types (long radius reducing elbows and crosses) and smaller sizes (NPS '/4 and x). This revision was published as ASA B after ASA approval. After reorganization of ASA, first as the United States of America Standards Institute (USASI), then as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), with the Sectional Committee being redesignated as an American National Standards Committee, another revision increasing the size range to NI'S 48 and revising the text for clarity was approved and published as ANSI B In 1975, Subcommittee F began a major revision to bring the standard up to date with current practice and usage. Common fractions were expressed as decimals (but without intending higher precision) and metric dimensional equivalents were added. Provisions for step-wise change of radius for NPS % long radius elbows and 180 deg returns were introduced. Following Standards Committee, cosecretariat, and ANSI approval, the revision was published as ANSI B It was updated by a corrective addendum, B16.9a-1981, issued in February Ln 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as an ACME Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI. In ASME/ANSI B , the text was revised and inch dimensions were established as the standard. In 1991, the Subcommittee reviewed the document and made a number of revisions that were included in ACME Dimensions for short pattern lap joints were also added. In ACME B , short radius elbows and returns were added, which included all dimensions and tolerances of ACME B Metric units were provided as an independent but parallel alternative standard to U.S. customary units and a Quality System Program appendix was added. In 2003, the Subcommittee reviewed the document and made a number of revisions. The scope of the standard was changed to permit fabricated lap joint stub ends employing circumferential or intersection welds. This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on October 15, 2003 and December 31, iv

8 General. ACME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this standard may interact with the Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to: Secretary, B16 Standards Committee The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Three Park Avenue New York, NY Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically. The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation. Interpretations. Upon request, the B16 Committee will render an interpretation of any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent to the Secretary of the B16 Standards Committee. The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended that the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format: Subject: Edition: Question: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry. Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested. Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans or drawings which are necessary to explain the question; however, they should not contain proprietary names or information. Requests that are not in this format will be rewritten in this format by the Committee prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request. ACME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ACME Committee or Subcommittee. ACME does not "approve," "certify," "rate," or "endorse" any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity. Attending Committee Meetings. The B16 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings, which are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the Secretary of the B16 Standards Committee. vi

9 ASME FACTORY-MADE WROUGHT BUllWELDI NG FITTINGS 1 SCOPE 1.1 General This Standard covers overall dimensions, tolerances, ratings, testing, and markings for wrought factory-made buttwelding fittings in sizes NPS */2 through 48 (DN 15 through 1200). 1.2 Special Fittings Fittings may be made to special dimensions, sizes, shapes, and tolerances by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser. 1.3 Fabricated Fittings Fabricated laterals and other fittings employing circumferential or intersection welds are considered pipe fabrication and are not within the scope of this Standard. Fabricated lap joint stub ends are exempt from the above restrictions, provided they meet all the requirements of the applicable ASTM material specification listed in para Standard Units The values stated in either metric or U.S. customary units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the U.S. customary units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this St andard. The designation for size is NPS for both metric and customary dimensioned fittings. Fitting pressure rating is associated with the connecting wall thickness of pipe of equivalent size and material. 1.5 References Referenced Standards. Standards and specifications adopted by reference in this Standard are shown in Mandatory Appendix II. It is not considered practical to identify the specific edition of each standard and specification in the individual references. Instead, the specific edition reference is identified in Mandatory Appendix II. A product made in conformance with a prior edition of referenced standards and in all other respects conforming to this Standard will be considered to be in conformance Codes and Regulations. A fitting used under the jurisdiction of the ACME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ACME Code for Pressure Piping, or a governmental regulation is subject to any limitation of that code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation, or rule governing the use of a material at low temperature. 1.6 Service Conditions Criteria for selection of fitting types and materials suitable for particular fluid service are not within the scope of this Standard. 1.7 Welding Installation welding requirements are outside the scope of this Standard. 1.8 Quality Systems Nonmandatory requirements relating to the fitting manufacturer s Quality System Program are described in Nonmandatory Appendix A. 1.9 Convention For the purpose of determining conformance with this Standard, the convention for fixing significant digits where limits (maximum or minimum values) are specified shall be rounded off as defined in ASTM E 29. This requires that an observed or calculated value shall be rounded off to the nearest unit in the last right-hand digit used in expressing the limit. Decimal values and tolerances do not imply a particular method of measurement Pressure Rating Designation Class, followed by a dimensionless number, is the designation for pressure-temperature ratings. Standardized designations for flanges per ACME B16.5 referenced in this Standard are Classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and PRESSURE RATINGS 2.1 Basis of Ratings The allowable pressure ratings for fittings designed in accordance with this Standard may be calculated as for straight seamless pipe of equivalent material (as shown by comparison of composition and mechanical properties in the respective material specifications) in 1

10 ASME FACTORY-MADE WROUGHT BUTMIELDING FITTINGS accordance with the rules established in the applicable sections of ACME B31, Code for Pressure Piping. For the calculation, applicable data for the pipe size, wall thickness, and material that is equivalent to that of the fitting shall be used. Pipe size, wall thickness (or schedule number), and material identity on the fittings are in lieu of pressure rating markings. 2.2 Design of Fittings The design of fittings shall be established by mathematical analyses (e.g., ACME B16.49 for bends) contained in nationally recognized pressure vessel or piping codes, or at the manufacturer?s option by proof testing in accordance with para. 9 of this Standard. In order to meet design or manufacturing requirements, it is expected that some portion of formed fittings may have to be thicker than the pipe wall with which the fitting is intended to be used. The mathematical analyses, if used, may take into account such thicker sections. Records of mathematical analysis and/or successful proof test data shall be available at the manufacturer?s facility for inspection by the purchaser. 3 SIZE NPS, followed by a dimensionless number, is the designation for nominal fitting size. NPS is related to the reference nominal diameter, DN, used in international standards. The relationship is, typically, as follows: DN NPS % % 1 1% 1?4 2 2% 3 4 NOTE: For NPS > 4, the equivalence is DN = 25(NPS). 4 MARKING 4.1 Standard Marking Each fitting shall be permanently marked to show the following: (u) manufacturer?s name or trademark íb) material identification, either the ASTM or ACME grade designation (c) schedule number? or nominal wall thickness in mm Schedule number is a dimensionless number that is widely used as a convenient designation for use in ordering pipe and fittings. It is normally associated with a group of standardized pipe wall thickness. Refer to ASME B36.10M and ASME B36.19M for complete details on pipe schedule numbers. (d) size - the nominal pipe size (NPS) identification number related to the end connections shall be used (e) compliance - see para 4.4 for standard and special fitting marking A manufacturer may supplement these mandatory markings with others, including a DN size designation, but confusion with the required marking shall be avoided. 4.2 Exceptions Where the size of the fitting does not permit complete marking, the identification marks may be omitted in reverse of the order presented above. 4.3 Depth of Stamping Where steel stamps are used, care shall be taken so that the marking is not deep enough or sharp enough to cause cracks or to reduce the wall thickness of the fitting below the minimum allowed. 4.4 Compliance Standard Fittings. That the fitting was manufactured in conformance with this Standard, including all dimensional requirements, is certified by a prefix?wp? in the material grade designation marking Special Fittings. That the fitting was manufactured in conformance with this Standard, except that dimensional requirements are as agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer, is certified by a supplementary suffix to the material grade designation marking as follows: (a)?s9? applies for fittings in accordance with ASTM A 234, A 403, A 420, and A 815. (b)?spld? applies for fittings in accordance with ASTM B 361, B 363, and B MATERIAL Wrought fittings covered by this Standard shall be in accordance with ASTM A 234, A 403, A 420, A 815, B 361, B 363, B 366, or the corresponding standard listed in Section II of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The term wrought denotes fittings made of pipe, tubing, plate, or forgings. Fittings made from block forgings may only be supplied subject to agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser. Such fittings need not meet the requirements of para FITTING DIMENSIONS 6.1 General This Standard provides for a fixed position for the welding ends with reference to either the centerline of the fittings or the overall dimensions. Dimensional requirements for these fittings are to be found in Tables 2

11 FACTORY-MADE WROUGHT BUTWELDING FITTINGS ASME through 12 and Tables I2 through I11 of Mandatory Appendix I. 6.2 Special Dimensions Fatigue loading. For applications where fatigue loading is a concern, required minimum dimensions shall be furnished by the purchaser Bore Diameter. Bore diameters away from the ends are not specified. If special flow path requirements are needed, the bore dimensions shall be specified by the purchaser Stub Ends. Service conditions and joint construction often dictate stub end length requirements. Therefore, the purchaser must specify long or short pattern fitting when ordering. [See General Note (c) in Tables 10 and SURFACE CONTOURS Where adjacent openings in fittings are not in parallel planes, they shall be joined by a circular arc or radius on the external surfaces. The arc or radius may be terminated in tangents. Except as provided for block forgings (see para. 5), the projected profile of external surfaces of fittings shall not have sharp intersections (corners) and/or collapsed arcs. 8 END PREPARATION Unless otherwise specified, the details of the welding end preparation shall be in accordance with Table 1. Transitions from the welding bevel to the outside surface of the fitting and from the root face to the inside surface of the fitting lying within the maximum envelope shown in Fig. 1 are at the manufacturer's option, except as covered in Note (5) of Fig. 1 or unless otherwise specifically ordered. 9 DESIGN PROOF TEST 9.1 Required Tests Proof tests shall be made as set forth in this Standard when the manufacturer chooses proof testing to qualify the fitting design. Unless otherwise agreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser, the proof test shall be one based on the computed bursting pressure of the fitting and its connecting piping. Lap joint stub ends are exempt from proof testing because they are used in a flange assembly, which will have different ratings depending on service application. 9.2 Test Assembly Representative Components. Fittings that are representative of production and selected for test shall be identified as to material, grade, and lot, including heat treatment. They shall be inspected for dimensional compliance to this Standard Other Components. Straight seamless or welded pipe sections whose calculated bursting strength is at least as great as the proof test pressure as calculated in para. 9.3 shall be welded to each end of the fitting to be tested. Any internal misalignment greater than 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) shall be reduced by taper boring at a slope not over 1:3. Length of pipe sections for closures shall be as follows: (u) Minimum length of pipe shall be one pipe O.D. for NI'S 14 (DN 350) and smaller. (b) Minimum length of pipe shall be one-half pipe O.D. for NI'S greater than 14 (DN 350). 9.3 Test Procedure Test fluid shall be water or other liquid used for hydrostatic testing. Hydrostatic pressure shall be applied to the assembly. The test is successful if the assembly withstands, without rupture, 105% of the computed proof test pressure defined below. 2st p=- D where D = specified outside diameter of pipe P = computed minimum proof test pressure for fitting S = actual tensile strength of the test fitting, determined on a specimen representative of the test fitting, which shall meet the tensile strength requirements of the applicable material of para. 5 t = nominal pipe wall thickness of the pipe that the fitting marking identifies NOTE: Any dimensionally consistent system of units may be used. 9.4 Applicability of Test Results It is not necessary to conduct an individual test of fittings with all combinations of sizes, wall thicknesses, and materials. A successful proof test on one representative fitting may represent others to the extent described in paras , 9.4.2, and Size Range. One test fitting may be used to qualify similarly proportioned fittings with a size range from one-half to twice that for the tested fitting. The test of a nonreducing fitting qualifies reducing fittings of the same pattern. The test of a reducing fitting qualifies reductions to smaller sizes Thickness Range. One test fitting may be used to qualify similarly proportioned fittings with t / D ranges from one-half to three times that for the tested fitting Material Grades. The pressure retaining capacity of a geometrically identical fitting made of various 3

(2) x = 5 (0.19) for carbon steel or ferritic alloy steel and 3 (0.12) for austenitic alloy steel. grades of steel will be directly proportional to the tensile properties of the various grades; see para 2.1. Therefore, it is necessary to test only a single material grade in a representative fitting to prove the design of the fitting. 10 PRODUCTION TESTS Hydrostatic testing of wrought fittings is not required by this Standard. All fittings shall be capable of withstanding, without leakage or impairment of serviceability, a hydrostatic test pressure required by the applicable piping code for seamless pipe of material equivalent to the fitting material, and of the size and wall thickness the fitting marking identifies. 11 TOLERANCES Tolerances for fittings are shown in Tables 2 and Il, and apply to the nominal dimensions given in Tables 3 through 12 and Tables I2 through Ill. Where given in the tables, the minimum and maximum dimensions are based on these tolerances. The listings with decimals do not imply precision measurement, such as use of vernier, micrometer, electronic readout equipment, etc. 4

NOTES: Gasket face finish shall be in accordance with ASME for raised face flanges. The lap thickness T shall not be less than nominal pipe wall thickness. See Table 2 for maximum tolerance. When short pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 300 and 600, and with most sizes in Classes 900 and higher, and when long pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 1500 and 2500, it may be necessary to increase the length of the stub ends in order to avoid covering the weld with the flange. Such increases in length shall be a matter of agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser. When special facings such as tongue and groove, male and female, etc., are employed, additional lap thickness must be provided and such additional thickness shall be in addition to (not included in) the basic length F. These dimensions conform to the radius established for lap joint flanges in ASME This dimension conforms to standard machined facings shown in ASME The back face of the lap shall be machined to conform to the surface on which it seats.

43 ASME Bi INTERPRETATIONS Replies to Technical Inquiries January 2002 through October 2002 FOREWORD This publication includes all of the written replies issued between the indicated dates by the Secretary, speaking for the ASME B16 Committee, Standardization of Valves, Flanges, Fittings, and Gaskets, to inquiries concerning interpretations of technical aspects of ACME B16.9, Factory- Made Wrought Buttwelding Fittings. These replies are taken verbatim from the original letters except for a few typographical corrections and some minor editorial corrections made for the purpose of improved clarity. In some few instances, a review of the interpretation revealed a need for corrections of a technical nature; in these cases, a corrected interpretation follows immediately after the original reply. These interpretations were prepared in accordance with the accredited ACME procedures. ACME procedures provide for reconsideration of these interpretations when or if additional information is available that the inquirer believes might affect the interpretation. Further, persons aggrieved by this interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ACME Committee or Subcommittee. ACME does not "approve," "certify," "rate," or "endorse" any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity. 1-1
