Wrought-Steel Butt-Welding Fittings

Wrought-steel welding ttings include elbows, tees, crosses, reducers, laterals, lapjoint stub ends, caps, and saddles.
Wrought-steel ttings are made to the dimensional requirements of ASME B16.9
in sizes NPS (DN 15) through NPS 48 (DN 1200). Also, short-radius elbows and
returns are produced in accordance with ASME B16.28 in sizes NPS (DN 15)
through NPS 24 (DN 600). The wrought tting materials conform to ASTM A234,
A403, or A420, the grades of which have chemical and physical properties equivalent
to that of the mating pipe. ASME B16.9 requires that the pressure-temperature
rating of the tting equal or exceed that of the mating pipe of the same or equivalent
material, same size, and same nominal wall thickness. The pressure-temperature
rating may be established by analysis or by proof testing. Short-radius elbows and
returns (tting centerline bend radius is equal to the tting NPS) manufactured
under ASME B16.28 are rated at 80 percent of the rating calculated for seamless
straight pipe of the same size and nominal thickness and same or equivalent material.
Therefore, both standards require that, in lieu of specifying any pressure rating,
the pipe wall thickness and pipe material type with which the ttings are intended
to be used be identied on the tting.
Pressure testing of the ttings is not required by either standard. However, the
ttings are required to be capable of withstanding, without leakage, a test pressure
equal to that prescribed in the specication of the pipe with which the tting is
recommended to be used.
Both ASME B16.9 and B16.28 prescribe dimensions and manufacturing tolerances of wrought butt-welded ttings. The standards establish laying dimensions,

* Pipe schedule numbers in accordance with ASME B36.10M.

This size and thickness has no corresponding schedule number.
Dimensional data for pipe sizes NPS 26 and larger are not included in ASME B16.28.

which remain xed for each size and type of tting irrespective of the tting wall
thickness. Tables A2.11, A2.12, A2.13, A2.14, and A2.15 list the laying dimensions
and approximate weights for selected tting sizes, pipe schedules, and congurations.
Laterals are not governed by any national standard. However, dimensions of
laterals commonly used are given in Table A2.16. Working pressures are rated at
40 percent of the allowable working pressure established for pipe from which laterals
are made. Where full allowable pipe pressures must be met, the laterals are generally
made from heavier pipe with ends machined to match standard pipe dimensions.
Dimensional tolerances of laterals vary not more than 1/32 in (1.0 mm) for sizes
up to and including NPS 8 (DN 200) and 1/16 in (2.0 mm) for sizes NPS 10 (DN
250) through NPS 24 (DN 600).

This size and thickness does not correspond with any schedule number.

Forged Branch Fittings

Under the various pressure piping codes, branch connections may be made by
welding the branch pipe or a welding outlet tting to the run pipe, provided sufcient
reinforcement is available to compensate for the material removed from the run
pipe to create the branch opening. The reinforcement may be in the form of excess
material already available in the run and branch pipes, or it may be added. At the
writing of this book, national standards governing the dimensions, tolerances, and
manufacture of welding outlet ttings had not been issued. However, MSS-SP-97,
1995, has been developed to cover forged-carbon-steel 90 branch outlet ttings in
butt-welding, socket-welding, and threaded outlet ends. The standard provides
essential dimensions, nish, tolerances, and testing requirements. Because of the
absence of strict standards, manufacturers produce welding outlet ttings of their
own proprietary designs. These ttings must comply with the codes governing the
systems in which the ttings are to be installed. The ttings, when installed in
accordance with the manufacturers recommendations, include the required reinforcement. The dimensions of these ttings vary; standardized dimensions and
properties must be obtained from the manufacturers. Also, designers must
consider the appropriate parameters (e.g., stress intensication factors).
Figure A2.4 shows several types of welding ttings, which are proprietary; the
terminology used varies with the manufacturer. The ttings are produced in carbon
and alloy steels under the ASTM specications for forgings permitted by applicable codes.

TRAPS
Steam Traps
The function of a steam trap is to discharge condensate from steam piping or steam
heating equipment without permitting live steam to escape. Some principal types
of steam traps are:

Float
Thermostatic
Thermodynamic
Inverted bucket
