Quality System Program u 7 18 FOREWORD The Sectional Committee on the Standardization of Pipe Flanges and Fittings, B16, organized in 1920 under the procedure of the American Standards Association (ASA) appointed a subgroup ‘of Subcommittee 3 (now Subcommittee F) to initiate the standardization of welding fittings. in May 1037. The first meeting of this group was held later that month, and at its meeting in December 1938, in New York, it was agreed to undertake the standardization of dimensions of socket-welding fittings and to refer this project to anew drafting subgroup. One of the most important dimensions ofthis type of fitting requiring standardization was considered to be the dimension from the centerline of the fiting to the bottom of the socket, since from the stanelpoint of the designing engineer, this dimension governs the location of adjacent pipe with reference to the entire piping layout. Another important item for consideration was the welding fillet dimensions, “The drafting subgroup held meetings in Chicago, Detroit, and New York in March 1959 ancl May and October 1940, respectively, and at the last named meeting, the completed daft of the proposed standard was discussed, and further revisions were suggested. When applied to the Eeptember 1940 draft, these changes produced the May 1841 draft, which was prepared for distribution to industry for criticism and comment. “This distribution resulted in a number of helpful comments. The members of the subgroup agreed by mail that many of the changes suggested should be incorporated in the revised draft (December 1941), Progress on the approval ofthe standard was delayed by the war, after which, fa few more changes were added to make the proposal acceptable to all concerned. ‘The revised ‘eaft (April 1946) was then submitted to the members of the sectional committee for letter ballot vote, Following the approval of the seetional committee, the proposed standard was next approved by the sponsor bodies and presented to the ASA with recommendation for approval as an ‘American Standard. This designation was given on December 9, 1946. ‘In 1960, it was agreed that the standard needed a complete revision and simultaneously that it should be expanded to cover threaded fittings and plugs, then covered by MSS SP-49 and. 'SP-0. A Task Force worked diligently for 4 years before arriving at a draft that it felt was acceptable. They also found that ratings were outdated and eliminated the 4,000-Ib classes of threaded fittings, assigned pressure-temperature ratings for a number of materials, and converted thesocket-weld fitting ratings to 3,000 and 6,000 Ib. Following approval by the Sectional Committee ‘and Sponsors, ASA approval was granted on January 28, 1966, Following designation changes of ASA to ANSI and Sectional Committee to Standards ‘Committee, Subcommittee 6 began consideration of changes in 1969. Early in 1972, changes in the pressure class designations, materials, and clarification of wording were agreed upon and. submitted for approval. This approach was granted on June 20, 1975, “The work of development of the 1980 edition of BI6.11 began in 1975 when the committee began consideration of comments and proposals for change that were received. The development procedure was arduous in that 9 number of ballots were taken that elicited many additional Comments and counter proposals. The major changes included an expanded scope for better definition, requirements for conformance marking, a Nonmandatory Annex with provisions for ‘proof or burst testing, and the inclusion of metric equivalents, Following approval by the Standards Committee and Co-Secretariat, final approval by ANSI was granted on October 6, 1980 ‘in 1982, American National Standards Committee BI6 was reorganized as an ASME Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI The 1991 edition ofthe standard, retitled “Forged Fhtings, Socket-WWelding and Threaded,” incorporated forging material listed in Table 1 of ASME 1634-1988, including Group 3 material that was not previously covered in B16.11, The 1991 ‘edition established US, Customary units as the standard. Other clarifying and editorial revisions were made in order to improve the text, Following approval by the Standards Committee anc "ASME, final approval by ANSI was granted on March 4, 1991. ‘Smelter renege tht wm a Never tonen va; ae et ASME B16 COMMITTEE Standardization of Valves, Flanges, Fittings, and Gaskets (he Flowing is the roster ofthe Commitee atthe time of approval of this Standard) ‘STANDARDS COMMITTEE OFFICERS.

INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ASME 816.11-2009 FORGED FITTINGS, SOCKET-WELDING AND THREADED 1 SCOPE AND GENERAL 4.1 Scope This Standard covers ratings, dimensions, tolerances, marking, and material requirements for forged fittings, both socket-welding and threaded, as illustrated in ‘ables | through 5 and Tables [-1 through 1-5, inclusive 41.1.1 Fitting Types/Configuration. Types of fittings covered by this Standard are shown in Table 6, by cls land size range. Fittings shown in Tables 1 through 5 And Tables F1 Uough 5 may also be made with combi- nations of socket-welding and threaded ends 41.1.2 Spectal Fittings. Fittings with special dimen- sions, threads, or counterbores may be made by lagreement between the manufacturer and purchaser. When such fittings meet all other stipulations of this Standard, they shall be considered in compliance there with, provided they are appropriately marked (see section 4), 1.1.3 Welding. Installation welding requirements are not within the scope of this Standard. Installation ‘welding shall be in accordance with the applicable pip- ing Code or regulation covering the piping system into which the fittings are installed. 1.2 General 1.2. Referenced Standards. Standards and specifi cations adopted by reference inthis Standard are shown. in Mandatory Appendix I, which is part of this Standard. 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 Ul. fit ting made in conformance and conforming, to this: Starndard, in all other respects, will be considered to be in conformance to the Standard, even though the edition reference may be changed in a subsequent addendum, to or revision of the Standard. 1.2.2 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 issubject to any limitation of that code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation, rule governing the use of a material at low temperature, or provisions for operation at a pressure ‘exceeding the ratings in this Standard. 1 1.2.3 Service Conditions. Criteria for selection of fiting types and materials suitable for particular fluid service are not within the scope of this Standard. 1.2.4 Quality Systems. Nonmandatory require ments relating to the product manufacturer's Quality System Program are described in Nonmandatory ‘Appendix 4.25 Standard Units. The values stated in either metric or inch units are to be regarded separately as standard, Within the text, the ineh 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 the standard. Tables 1 through 5 show fittings dimensional require ‘ments in millimeters. Tables I-l through [-5 show the dimensional requirements for inch dimensioned fittings. 2 PRESSURE RATINGS 2. General Fittings under this Standard shall be designated as Class 2000, 3000, and 6000 for threaded end fittings and (Class 3000, 6000, and 9000 for socket-weld end fittings 2.4.1 Basis of Rating. ‘The schedule of pipe cores- ponding to each Class designation offiting for rating purposes is shown in Table 7.
