FOREWORD

ASME B16.9 is the American Standard for steel butt-welding fittings and although not so stated, it is
implied that its scope deals primarily with standard (Schedule 40) wall and heavier as it was developed
for carbon steel and those grades of alloy steel piping that are selected for pressure and temperature
considerations. In 1949 ASME approved standard B36.19 for Stainless Steel Pipe in which Schedule 10S
was established. Schedule 5S pipe was recognized in the 1952 publication of B36.19. The companion
fittings for Schedule 10S pipe used B16.9 shapes and proportions and were standardized by MSS SP-43,
which was first published in 1950. In anticipation, the original 1950 edition of MSS SP-43 also
standardized Schedule 5S fittings.

Since 1950 the use of lighter than standard wall stainless steel piping in new construction has become
predominant. The reasons for this evolution include the rapid expansion of the process industries in the
fields of chemicals, plastics, textiles, paper, etc.

Coincident with the greater utilization of light wall pipe and of more capable metal forming machinery,
the need to reduce pipe assembly fabrication times brought about by world market competition led to the
development of belled end socket welding fittings. As with the development of MSS SP-43, the shapes
and proportions for B16.9 were reused for the belled end fitting bodies to the maximum extent possible.

In 1992 first work on belled end fittings for this Standard Practice included defining socket proportions,
socket to fitting body transition geometry, fitting thickness, and determining the ability of U.S. industry
to support manufacturing. Some of this work only standardized service proven relationships used in
belled end fittings made for the pulp and paper industry without standards for over 20 years. In 1994 the
U.S. Navy funded burst and fatigue testing prototype fittings in the first of a two-phase program. The
second phase was for an increased thickness fitting and was never done. In 1995 mid-way through
testing, the Navy directed that these belled end fittings be used on ship systems in new construction
followed shortly thereafter by direction to use them on the repair of ship systems. The quality and
configuration control of these fittings was done by an interim document, the requirements of which, with
some improvements, are contained herein.

In keeping with trends wherein military procurement activities have been using more commercial material
standards and because of recognized fabrication economies related to the use of these fittings, the U.S.

--`,`,`,`,,``,`````,`,`,,``,,,,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
Navy sponsored the writing of the 1996 edition of this Standard Practice in cooperation with fitting
manufacturers.

This Standard Practice established dimensional uniformity for light wall belled end socket welding fitting
designs qualified by burst and fatigue testing for Military Service and qualified by burst testing for
Commercial Code Practice.

The most significant changes in the 2003 revision included the following: 1) A new definition for
allowable pressure ratings for MP fittings (Section 6), which adopts the B16.9 format rating the fitting
the same as the connecting pipe of the same schedule; 2) The addition of titanium and aluminum fitting
materials; and 3) The addition of the Supplementary Requirements (Section 18, now 17), which
supports Navy special requirements.

The most significant changes in this 2010 revision include the following: 1) The extension of the
SCOPE to include heavier wall fittings; 2) The relocation of the CR fitting requirements from the body
of the Standard Practice to that of a Supplementary Requirement; 3) The addition of all the
combinations of reducing fittings included in B16.9; and, 4) The addition of a reference line on the
socket end to enable inspectors to measure the installation weld length – as a Supplementary
Requirement. The title of this 2010 revised Standard Practice has also been amended.

4.3 Subclass Substitution If the purchaser
does not define a MP subclass, the
manufacturer may supply any MP subclass.
5. PRESSURE RATINGS
5.1 Class MP Ratings The allowable
pressure ratings for Class MP fittings designed
in accordance with this Standard Practice 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
accordance with the rules established in the
applicable section(s) of the ASME B31 Code
for Pressure Piping. For the calculation,
applicable data for the NPS, wall thickness
class or schedule number and material
equivalent to that of the fitting material shall
be used. NPS, wall thickness class or schedule
number and the material identity on the
fittings are in lieu of pressure rating markings.
5.2 Class MARINE Ratings The allowable
pressure rating for Class MARINE fittings
shall be the same as those for the MIL-T-
16420 Class tube with which it identifies.
5.3 Rating Certification The pipe fitting
manufacturer certifies that its pipe fittings
comply with this Standard Practice when its
name or trademark is marked on the body of
the fitting.
6. FITTING DESIGN
6.1 Design Qualification The pressure
retaining designs of Class MP or MARINE
fittings are qualified simultaneously with the
qualifications of manufacturing methods for
each fitting design and those qualifications
shall be by proof test (see Section 7).
6.2 Minimum Thickness The minimum
wall thickness of each fitting shall be the
--`,`,`,`,,``,`````,`,`,,``,,,,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

tube with which it identifies. In addition, in
order to meet proof test and/or
manufacturing process requirements, some
portions of formed fittings will be thicker
than the minimum wall thickness.

7.5 Concurrent Fitting Qualifications
made from Seamless or Welded Starting
Materials The successful proof test of a
fitting made from pipe or tube starting
material, which starting material has a
longitudinal weld made by the pipe or tube
manufacturer, shall qualify the same fitting
(same manufacturing methods and same
minimum schedule or pressure class) made
from seamless starting material and vice
versa.
7.6 Concurrent Fitting Qualifications of
Different Thicknesses Successfully
performed proof tests may be used to qualify
other fittings, which differ only in material
thickness, within the range of t/D quotients
from one half to three times that of the tested
fitting. The t and D values are defined in the
Testing Procedure paragraph, herein.
7.7 Test Pipe Piece Design Preparatory to
proof testing, straight pieces of pipe shall be
welded on to the end of each fitting and
these pieces shall be capped. The length of
the pipe pieces between fitting and cap welds
shall be a minimum of one pipe outside
diameter. The pipe shall be of the same
material and at least as strong as the fitting.
The test shall be performed on unrestrained
fittings.
7.8 Testing Procedure Hydrostatic pressure
shall be applied until the fitting or pipe
ruptures. The actual test pressure prior to
rupture must at least equal the computed
proof-test pressure. Alternatively, the test is
successful if the assembly withstands,
without rupture, 105 percent of the computed
proof-test pressure, defined as follows:
P = 2St/D, where:

7.9 Maximum Test Pressure Small fittings
are inherently robust and can be difficult to
proof test within the capabilities of normally
available laboratory equipment. Accordingly,
the proof test is considered successful if the
assembly withstands a pressure of 10,000 psig.
7.10 Record Keeping Pressure test results
shall be kept on file by the fitting
manufacturer and shall be made available to
the purchaser upon request. Certified results of
test specimen tensile testing and material heat

result documentation.
8. PRODUCTION TESTING
8.1 Tests of each Fitting Hydrostatic
testing of production fittings is not required by
this Standard Practice; however, each fitting
of either Class MP or MARINE shall be
capable of withstanding without failure,
leakage or impairment of service-ability, a
test pressure equal to that prescribed for the
specified matching pipe of equivalent
material and minimum wall thickness.

discontinuities, surface checks (fish scale), or
mechanical marks shall not encroach upon the
minimum wall thickness and shall be removed
by machining or grinding to sound metal and
the repaired areas shall be well faired. When
the removal of a surface discontinuity reduces
the wall thickness below the minimum wall
limits for the pipe Class or schedule with
which the fitting identifies, the fitting shall be
rejected.
14.2 Surface Corrosion Stainless steel
surfaces shall be free of scale, cleaned and
passivated. Copper-nickel surfaces shall be
free of black oxide. Titanium and aluminum
surfaces shall be cleaned and free of
discoloration (see ASTM B600).
15. STRESS RELIEVING TREATMENT
15.1 General Each fitting shall be stress
relieved after completion of all welding or
body-forming operations, except that the
forming of socket ends may be performed
either prior to or after final stress relieving. In
addition, Class 200 and thinner and Schedule
10 and thinner pipe couplings formed from
annealed pipe do not require stress relieving.
15.2 Stainless Steel Fittings All stainless
steel fittings shall be furnished stress relieved
except as allowed in Section 15.1. The heat
treating procedure, except for those grades
listed below, shall consist of solution
annealing the fittings to a minimum
temperature of 1900°F (1040°C) until the
chromium carbides go into solution, and then
cooling at a sufficient rate to prevent re-
precipitation. Grades 321H, 347H, and 348H
shall be solution annealed at 1925°F
(1050°C) minimum. S31254 shall be solution
annealed at 2100°F (1150°C) minimum.
S33228 shall be solution annealed at 2050°F
(1120°C) minimum. S34565 shall be solution
annealed in the range 2050°F to 2140°F
(1120°C to 1170°C). The maximum
temperature for solution annealing grades
321, 321H, 347, and 347H shall be 2100°F
(1150°C).
15.3 Copper-Nickel Fittings All copper-
nickel fittings shall be stress relieved, except

as allowed in Section 15.1. Heat treating shall
be performed at 1300 +/- 50°F (704 +/- 28°C)
for one hour at temperature per inch of
thickness.
15.4 Titanium Fittings All titanium fittings
shall be stress relieved, except as allowed in
Section 15.1. The heat treatment shall consist
--`,`,`,`,,``,`````,`,`,,``,,,,,-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
of holding the fitting at a minimum
temperature of 1100°F for not less than 1/2
hour per inch of thickness. The minimum
time at temperature is 15 minutes.
15.5 Aluminum Fittings All aluminum
fittings shall be stress relieved in accordance
with ASTM B918 after forming, to meet the
grade specified.
16. MARKING
16.1 General All fittings shall be
permanently marked by electro-etching,
controlled dot peen, or engraving pencil. Any
electrolyte used shall not contain harmful
amounts of chlorides, metals, or metallic
salts, such as zinc or copper, which would
cause corrosive attack on heating. No metal
impression stamps shall be used.
16.2 Information Requirements All fittings
shall be marked with the prescribed
information in accordance with MSS SP-25,
as follows:
a) Manufacturer's name or trademark

MINIMUM WALL THICKNESS DATA TABLE NOTES

(a)
This ready-reference data table is provided for the most often manufactured fitting Class and schedule. For other
Classes and schedules, see General Note 2, below.
(b)
Minimum wall thickness for aluminum pipe NPS 1/2 and NPS 3/4 pipe is 0.071 inches.
(c)
MIL-T-16420 lists 0.151 for alloy 706 (90/10) and 0.148 for alloy 715 (70/30).
GENERAL NOTES:
1) Street end outside diameter tolerances shall be the same as the pipe with which the fitting identifies.
2) Fitting minimum wall thicknesses are the same as for the pipe or tube with which they identify.
(For guidance: Generally, the nominal and minimum wall thicknesses are the same in a tube-formatted specification,
while minimum walls are 871/2% of nominal walls in a pipe formatted specification.
MIL-T-16420 is a tube-formatted copper nickel material specification for both tube and pipe sizes although, it is
most commonly used to specify pipe sizes. Consequently, each nominal and minimum wall thickness in that
specification, MIL-T-16420, is the same for each tube size and for each pipe size.)
3) CR fittings wall thickness requirements are not specified.
