Cosponsors of the B16 Committee were The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 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 fitings 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 B16.9-1940. 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 B16.9-1951 and ASA B16.9-1958. 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 fitings of different types (long radius reducing elbows and crosses) and smaller sizes (NPS '% and 14). This revision was published as ASA B16.9-1964 after ASA approval. After reorganization of ASA, first asthe 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 NPS 48 and revising the text for clarity was approved and published as ANSIB169-1971. 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 Tadius for NPS % long radius elbows and 180 deg returns were introduced. Following Standards Committee, cosecretariat, and ANSI approval, the revision was published as ANSI B169-1978. It was updated by a corrective addendum, 8169-1981, issued in February 1982. In 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as an ASME Committee ‘operating under procedures accredited by ANSI. In ASME/ ANSI B16.9-1986, 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 ASME B169-1993. Dimensions for short pattern lap joints were also added. In ASME B16.9-2001, short radius elbows and returns were added, which included all dimen- sions and tolerances of ASME B16.28-1994. Metric units were provided as an independent but parallel alternative standard to US. 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, 2003.ASME B16 COMMITTEE Standardization of Valves, Flanges, Fittings, and Gaskets (the flowing isthe roster ofthe Commitee atthe time of approval ofthis Standard) WB.

ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concemed 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 10016-5990 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 Commitee. ‘The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recom- ‘mended that the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format: Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry. Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is being requested. ‘Question: 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 albo 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. [ASME 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 ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME 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.ASME 816.9-2003 FACTORY-MADE WROUGHT BUTTWELDING FITTINGS 1 SCOPE 1.4 General ‘This Standard covers overall dimensions, tolerances, ratings, testing, and markings for wrought factory-made buttwelding fittings in sizes NPS % 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 manu- facturer and the purchaser. 1.3 Fabricated Fittings Fabricated laterals and other fittings employing cir- ccumferential 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 require- ‘ments of the applicable ASTM material specification listed in para. 5. 1.4 Standard Units ‘The values stated in either metric or US. customary units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the U.S. customary units are shown in parenthe- ses, The values stated in each system arenot exact equiv- alents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this Standard. ‘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 1.5.1. Referenced Standards. Standards and specifica- tions adopted by reference in this Standard are shown in Mandatory Appendix IL 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 Il 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. 1.5.2 Codes and Regulations. A fitting used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ASME Code for Pressure Piping, or a govern- ‘mental regulation is subject to any limitation ofthat code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation, or rule governing the use of a material at ow 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 speci- fied 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 mea- surement. 41.10 Pressure Rating Designation Class, followed by a dimensionless number, is the designation for pressure-temperature ratings. Standard- ized designations for flanges per ASME BI6.5 referenced in this Standard are Classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500. 2 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[ASME B16.9-2003, accordance with the rules established in the applicable sections of ASME 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 sched- ‘ule 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 mathe- ‘matical analyses e-g., ASME B16 49 for bends) contained innationally recognized pressure vessel or piping codes, ‘rat the manufacturer's option by proof testing in accor- dance 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 SIE NPS, followed by a dimensionless number, is the des- ignation 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 % M% 2 vy 3 1 4 NOTE: For NPS > 4, the equivalence is DN = 25(NPS) Seass sees | 4 MARKING ‘41 Standard Marking Each fitting shall be permanently marked to show the following: (a) manufacturer's name or trademark (®) material identification, either the ASTM or ASME grade designation (©) schedule number! or nominal wall thickness in 7 Schedule number ia dimensionless number thats widely used 4s convient deignation for wei dering pipe an tng {eis normally associated with a group of standardized pipe wall thickness.

FACTORY-MADE WROUGHT BUTTWELDING FTTINGS (A) size — the nominal pipe size (NPS) identification number related to the end connections shall be used (@) 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. 43 Depth of Stamping Where steel stamps are used, care shal be taken s0 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. ‘44 Compliance ‘4.4.1. Standard Fittings. That the fitting was manufac- tured in conformance with this Standard, including all, dimensional requirements, is certified by a prefix “WP” in the material grade designation marking. 4A Special Fittings. That the fitting was manufac tured in conformance with this Standard, except that dimensional requirements are as agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer is certified by a supple- mentary suffix to the material grade designation mark- ing as follows (@) “S9" applies for fittings in accordance with ASTM A234, A 408, A 420, and A 815. () “SPLD" applies for fittings in accordance with ASTM B 361, B 363, and B 366. 5 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 Il of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The term wrought denotes fittings made of pipe, tubing, plate, or forgings. Fittings made from block forg- ings may only be supplied subject to agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser. Such fittings need not meet the requirements of para. 7. 6 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FACTORY-MADE WROUGHT BUTTWELDING FITTINGS, 3 through 12 and Tables 12 through 111 of Mandatory ‘Appendix I 6.2 Special Dimensions 6.2.1 Fatigue Loading. For applications where fatigue loading is a concem, required minimum dimensions shall be furnished by the purchaser. 6.2.2 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. 6.2.3 Stub Ends. Service conditions and joint con- struction often dictate stub end length requirements. ‘Therefore, the purchaser must specify long or short pat- tern fitting when ordering. [See General Note (c) in Tables 10 and 19.) 7 SURFACE CONTOURS ‘Where adjacent openings in fitings are notin parallel planes, they shall be joined by a circular are or radius ‘on the external surfaces. The arc or radius may be termi nated in tangents. Except as provided for block forgings (Gee para. 5), the projected profile of external surfaces of fittings shall not have sharp intersections (comers) 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 (6) of Fig. 1 or unless otherwise specifi- cally ordered. 9 DESIGN PROOF TEST 9.4 Required Tests roof 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 ofthe 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 9.2.1 Representative Components. Fittings that are representative of production and selected for test shall be identified as to material, grade, and lot, including [ASME 816.9-2003, heat treatment. They shall be inspected for dimensional compliance to this Standard. 9.2.2. Other Components. Straight seamless or welded pipe sections whose calculated bursting strength is at Teast 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 ‘mum (0.06 in) shall be reduced by taper boring ata slope not over 13. Length of pipe sections for closures shall be as follows: (@) Minimum length of pipe shall be one pipe O.D. for NPS 14 (DN 350) and smaller. (6) Minimum length of pipe shall be one-half pipe OLD. for NPS greater than 14 (DN 350). 9.3 Test Procedure Test fluid shall be water or other liquid used forhydro- static testing. Hydrostatic pressure shall be applied to the assembly. The testis successful ifthe assembly with- stands, without rupture, 105% of the computed proof test pressure defined below. 2st past D specified outside diameter of pipe computed minimum proof test pressure for fitting S = actual tensile strength of the test fitting, deter- ‘mined on a specimen representative of the test fitting, which shall meet the tensile strength requirements ofthe applicable material of para.5 nominal pipe wall thickness of the pipe that the fitting marking identifies NOTE: Any dimensionally consstentsystem of units may be used. A 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 representa- tive fitting may represent others to the extent described in paras. 94.1, 9.4.2, and 9.43. 9.4.4 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 ofa nonreducing fitting qualifies reducing fittings of the same pattern. The test of a reducing fitting qualifies reductions to smaller sizes. 9.4.2 Thickness Range. One test fitting may be used to qualify similarly proportioned fittings with £/D anges from one-half to three times that for the tested fitting 9.4.3 Material Grades.

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 with- standing, without leakage or impairment of serviceabil- ity, 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 I, and apply to the nominal dimensions given in Tables 3 through 12 and Tables 12 through I11. 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 a use of vernier, micrometer, electronic readout equipment, etc.FACTORY:MADE WROUGHT BUTTWELDING ATTNGS.
