The next edition of this Standard is scheduled for publication in 2009. There will be no addenda
issued to this edition.
ASME issues written replies to inquiries concerning interpretations of technical aspects of this
Standard. The interpretations will be included with this edition.

This code or standard was developed under procedures accredited as meeting the criteria for American National
Standards. The Standards Committee that approved the code or standard was balanced to assure that individuals from
competent and concerned interests have had an opportunity to participate. The proposed code or standard was made
available for public review and comment that provides an opportunity for additional public input from industry, academia,
regulatoiy agencies, and the public-at-large.
ASME does not approve, rate, or endorse any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
ASME does not take any position with respect to the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any
items mentioned in this document, and does not undertake to insure anyone utilizing a standard against liability for
infringement of any applicable letters patent, nor assume any such liability. Users o f a code or standard are expressly
advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is
entirely their own responsibility.
Participation by federal agency representative($ or person($ affiliated with industry is not to be interpreted as
government or industry endorsement of this code or standard.
ASME accepts responsibility for only those interpretations of this document issued in accordance with the established
ASME procedures and policies, which precludes the issuance of interpretations by individuals.

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 B16.9-1978.
It was updated by a corrective addendum, B16.9a-1981, issued in February 1982.
Ln 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as an ACME 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 ACME 816.9-1993. Dimensions for short pattern lap joints were also added.
In ACME B16.9-2001, short radius elbows and returns were added, which included all dimen-
sions and tolerances of ACME B16.28-1994. 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, 2003.

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) All dimensions are in millimeters.
(b) See Table 2 for tolerances.
(c) Service conditions and joint construction often dictate stub end length requirements. Therefore, the purchaser must
specify long or short pattern fitting when ordering.
NOTES:
Gasket face finish shall be in accordance with ASME 816.5 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 neces-
sary 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 816.5.
This dimension conforms to standard machined facings shown in ASME 816.5. The back face of the lap shall be
machined to conform to the surface on which it seats. Where ring joint facings are to be applied, use dimension K as
given in ASME 816.5.

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.

Question (1): Does ASME B16.9-2001 permit the successful proof test data of a B16.9-2001 NPS
8-Schedule 20,90 deg elbow (t/D = 0.29) to be extended to cover the proof test requirement for
