The first meeting of this group was held later that month, and at its meeting in December, 1938, in New York, it was agreed 0 undertake the standardization of dimensions of socket-welding fittings and to refer this project to a new drafting subgroup. One of the most important dimensions of this 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 stand-point 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, 1939, ‘and May and October, 1940, respectively, and at the last named meeting the completed draft of the proposed standard was discussed and further revisions were suggested. When applied to the September, 1940, draft, these changes. produced the May, 1941, 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 of the standard was delayed by the war after which a few more changes were added to make the proposal acceptable to all concerned. ‘The revised draft (April, 1946) was then submitted to the members of the sectional committee for letter ballot vote. Following the approval of the sectional 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-50. A Task Force worked diligently for four years before arriving at a draft Which it felt was acceptable. They also found that ratings were outdated and eliminated the 4000 Ib classes of threaded fitings, assigned pressure-temperature ratings for a number of materials, and converted the socket weld fitting ratings to 3000 and 6000 1b. 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 No. 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, 1973. The work of development of the 1980 edition of B16.11 began in 1975 when the committee began consideration of comments and proposals for change, which had been received. The development procedure was arduous in that a number of ballots were taken which elicited many additional comments and counter proposals. The major changes includedan expanded scope for better definition, requirements for conformance marking, a nonmanda- tory annex with provisions for proof or burst testing and the inclusion of metric equivalents, Following approval by the Standards Committee and Co-Secretrat, final approval by ANSI was granted on October 6, 1980. In 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as an ASME Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI. The 1991 edition ofthe standard, rested “Forged Fittings, Socket-Weldiag and Threaded,” incorporated forging ‘material listed in Table 1 of ASMEVANSI B16.34-1988, inctuding Group 3 material previously covered in B16.11. The 1991 e standard. Other clarifying and editorial revisions were made in order to improve the text Following approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, final approval by ANSI wes ‘granted on March 4, 1991. In this 1996 Edition, metric dimensions were added as an independent but equal standard fo the inch units. Following approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, this revision to the 1991 edition of this Standard was approved as an American National Standard by ANSI on December 16, 1996, with the new deSignation ASME B16.11-1996, ‘All Fequests for interpretations or suggestions for revisions should be sent to the Secretary, B16 Committee, The Ametican Society of Mechanical Engineers, United Engineering Centr, 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017. ivASME B16 COMMITTEE Standardization of Valves, Flanges, Fittings, Gaskets, and Valve Actuators (The following isa roster of the Committe at the time of approval of this Standard.)

Types of fit- tings covered by this Standard are shown in Tables 1A and IB, by class and size range. Fittings shown in Tables 4 through 7 and Ad through A7 may also be made with combinations of socket-welding and threaded ends, 1.1.2 Partial Compliance Fittings. Fittings with special dimensions, threads or counterbores, and fittings made from nonstandard materials may be made by ‘agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser (See para. 5.2). When such fittings meet all other stipulations of this Standard, they shall be considered partial compliance therewith, provided they are appro- priately marked (see para. 4). 1.1.3 Quality Systems. Nonmandatory require- ments relating to the product manufacturer's Quality System Program are described in Annex C. 1.2 References 1.2.1 Referenced Standards. Standards and spec- ifications adopted by reference in this Standard are shown in Annex D, 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 Annex D. A fitting made in conformance and conforming to this Standard, 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, 1.22 Codes and Regulations. A fiting used un- er the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ASME Code for Pressure Piping, or 2 governmental regulation is subject to any limitation of that code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation, or rule governing the use of a material at low temperature, or provisions for operation at a pressure exceeding the ratings in this Standard. 1.3 Service Conditions Criteria for selection of fitting types and materials suitable for particular fluid service are not within the scope of this Standard, Installation welding requirements are not within the scope of this Standard. Installation welding shall be done in accordance with the applicable piping Code or regulation covering the piping system into which the fittings are installed. 1.5 Standard Units ‘The values stated in either metric units or inch units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the inch 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 4 through 7 show fittings dimensional require- ments in millimeters. Tables A4 through AT show the dimensional requirements for inch dimensioned fittings. 2 PRESSURE RATINGS 2.1 General ‘These fittings shall be designated as Class 2000, 3000, and 6000 for threaded end fittings and Class 3000, 6000, and 9000 for socket-weld end fittings, 2.1.1 Basis of Rating. The schedule of pipe comres- ponding to each Class of fitting for rating purposes is shown in Table 2, Design temperature and other service conditions shall be limited as provided by the applicable piping code or regulation for the material of construction of the fitting. Within these limits the maximum allow- able pressure of. filing shall be that computed for straight seamless pipe of equivalent material (as shown by comparison of composition and mechanical proper- ties in the respective material specifications). The wall thickness used in such computation shall be that tabu-‘ASME B16.11-1996 FORGED FITTINGS, ‘SOCKET-WELDING AND THREADED TABLE 1A _ TYPES OF FITTINGS BY CLASS DESIGNATION AND DN (NOMINAL SIZE) RANGE Socket Weld Threaded Class Designation Class Designation Description ‘3000 ‘6000 ‘3000 2000 3000 ‘6000 45 deg. 90 deg.

B2 Such fittings whose design cannot be established bby mathematical analyses contained in nationally recog nized pressure vessel or piping codes may be established by proof testing in accordance with Section B3. B3 To insure adequacy of fittings design, the actual bursting strength of fittings shall not be less than the computed bursting strength of the pipe of the designated schedule number and material. To determine the relative strength of the fiting, straight pipe of the designated wall thickness and material shall be welded to each cend of the socket-welding fitting or threaded into each, end of the threaded end fitting, 153 mm (6.0 in.) in Tength but not less than twice the outside diameter of the pipe, and with proper end closures applied beyond the minimum length of straight pipe. Hydrostatic pres- sure shall be applied until atleast the computer bursting pressure is achieved. ‘The computed bursting strength of pipe shall be determined on the basis of the following formula: 0 |-1996 and is placed after the ‘S00 para. 6.2.) where P = computed bursting strength of pipe gage pressure specification minimum ultimate tensile strength Of pipe material 1.125, which is a factor to adjust test pressure for the actual tensile strength of the test piece 3 wall thickness .90 x nominal thickness in sizes DN 32 (1% Sa in.) and less = 0.93 x nominal thickness in sizes DN 40 (1% in.) and larger D = outside diameter of pipe (NOTE: Any dimensionally consistent system may be used.) Since the above formula is applicable only to straight pipe it cannot be used for a direct computation of the bursting strength of fittings. The fittings ability to withstand bursting shall be gaged only by comparing their behavior on test with the calculated bursting strength of straight pipe of the designated wall thickness and material,ANNEX C QUALITY SYSTEM PROGRAM (This Annex is not a part of ASME B16.11-1996 and fe included for information purposes only.) ‘The products manufactured in accordance with this Standard shall be produced under a quality system program following the principles of an appropriate standard from the ISO 9000 series'.
