Technical Drawing & Function The ASME B16.11 couplet is primarily used to connect two pipes. It resembles a welding boss except that a straight length (Q) of weld ring is furnished. One end of the couplet is furnished with socket welding (SW) or threaded connection; the other end is furnished with a bevelled transition to a straight length of welding …

Technical Drawing & Function The ASME B16.11 cap, either socket welding or threaded, is used to seal an open end of pipe. SW caps are available in pressure ratings Class 3000, 6000, 9000; threaded caps are available in pressure ratings Class 3000 and 6000. *Click to view dimensions and masses of other ASME B16.11 fittings. Dimensions & Masses of ASME …

Technical Drawing & Function The ASME B16.11 welding boss, either with socket welding end (Class 3000, 6000, 9000) or threaded end (Class 3000, 6000), is used as a branch connection on pipe header or a nozzle connection on equipment. It resembles the function of a weld outlet. A branch pipe is joined by socket welding or threaded connection of the …

Technical Drawing & Function The ASME B16.11 half coupling is a forged fitting primarily used for connecting small-bore screwed (THD) or socket-weld (SW) pipe to the large-bore main run pipe (header). SW half couplings are available in Class 3000, 6000 and 9000. It usually has larger overall length than SW full coupling counterpart. Threaded half couplings are available in Class …

Technical Drawing & Pressure Ratings ASME B16.11 forged coupling, also known as full coupling, is a length of small-bore sleeve with reinforced wall thickness to connect two pipes. The coupling may be furnished with two internally threaded (THD) ends, two socket welding (SW) ends, or a combination of SW and threaded ends. ASME B16.11 SW couplings are available in pressure …

Technical Drawing The ASME B16.11 forged cross has four outlets that can be connected with the pipe end. The two center lines of each pair of outlets are perpendicular to each other. The end connection may be furnished as socket welding (SW) type or threaded (THD) type. The crosses are available in straight style and reducing style. SW crosses are …

Technical Drawing Similar to the butt welding tee, ASME B16.11 forged tee is a three-way fitting used to make perpendicular connections to the pipe. The three outlets of the forged tee may be furnished with either socket welding (SW) end or threaded (THD) end. The forged tees can be further classified as straight type (all three outlets are the same …

Technical Drawing The ASME B16.11 45° elbow is used to change the flow direction by an angle of 45° within the piping system. It can be furnished with two socket welding ends, two threaded ends, or one socket welding end and one threaded end. The SW 45° elbow is available in pressure ratings Class 3000, 6000, and 9000; THD 45° …

Technical Drawing ASME B16.11 90° elbows are used to change the pipe or flow direction by 90 degrees. They can be furnished with two socket welding (SW) ends, two threaded (THD) ends, or one socket welding end and one threaded end. The SW 90° elbows are available in Class 3000 (sizes from 1/8″ to 4″), Class 6000 (sizes from 1/8″ …

Due to the high specific strength and excellent corrosion resistance, commercially pure titanium Grade 2 is considered for a wide range of industrial applications. Grade 2 titanium exhibits strong springback in cold forming process resulting from its much lower modulus of elasticity compared to steels. This particular elastic behavior shall be taken into account carefully. The modulus of elasticity (E), …

Classification & Characteristics Commercially pure titanium is unalloyed titanium with small traces of impurities such as carbon, hydrogen, iron, nitrogen, and oxygen. It is classified into four ASTM grades: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3 and Grade 4, which have varying amounts of impurities. The CP titanium generally has more than 1000 ppm oxygen and iron, nitrogen, carbon, and silicon …

Classification, Characteristics & Corrosion Resistance ASTM A213 Gr. TP316L seamless tubes can be further classified as TP316L boiler tubes, TP316L superheater tubes, and TP316L heat exchanger tubes, according to the service it is used for. The tubing is usually specified by outside diameter and minimum wall thickness, or average wall thickness. Sometimes the wall thicknesses are specified by Birmingham Wire …
