GENERAL, requirements for insert type fittings, which effectively, after welded installation, creates a socket welded reduced end fitting, such as a Tee, 90-degree Ell, Cross, 45-degree Ell, Coupling, ete. SCOPE 1.1 General This Standard Practice covers ratings, dimensions, tolerances, finish, marking and material requirements for socket welding reducer inserts for use with ASME BI6.11, Class 3000 and 6000 socket welding fittings. U.S. customary unit dimensions for these reducer inserts are shown in Table 3 and (SI) metric dimensions are shown in Table 3M. 11.1 Fitting — Sizes/Pipe Correlation Fittings covered by this Standard Practice are shown in Table 1, by class, size range and correlation to the schedule number or wall designation of pipe for calculation of ratings. 1.1.2 Partial Compliance Fitings Fittings with special dimensions and fittings made from non-standard materials may be designed and manufactured by agreement between the manufacturer and the purchaser, provided they are marked in accordance with the requirements for partial compliance fittings of Section 5.1.1(¢) 1.1.3. Welding Except forthe CAUTIONARY NOTE (see Section 12) and the GAP RECOMMENDATIONS (see Figures, 1 and 2), installation welding requirements are not within the scope of this Standard Practice. Installation welding shall be done in accordance with the applicable piping system into which the fittings are to be installed 2.1 Referenced Standards Standards and specifications referenced in this Standard Practice are shown in Annex A, which is a normative part of this Standard Practice. It is not considered practical to identify the specific dition of each standard and specification in the individual references. Instead, the specific dition reference is identified in Annex A. A fitting made in conformance and conforming to this Standard Praetice in all other respects will be considered to be in conformance with this Standard Practice, even though the edition reference may have changed in a subsequent addendum to or revision of the standard, 2.2 Codes of Regulations A fitting used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ASME B31 Codes for Pressure Piping, or a govemmental regulation is subject to any limitation of that code or regulation. ‘This includes any ‘maximum temperature limitation, or rule goveming the use of material at low temperature, or provisions for operation at a pressure exceeding the pressure ratings in this Standard Practice. 2.3 Service Conditions Criteria for selection of fitting type and materials suitable for particular fluid service are not within the scope of this Standard Practice. 24 Standard Units The values stated in either U.S, customary units or (SI) metrie units are to be regarded separately as. standard. Within the text, the metric 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 non-conformance with this Standard Practice.MSS 3. RATINGS 31 These shall designated as Class 3000 and Class 6000, General fittings be 3.1.1 Rating Basis ‘The schedule of pipe corresponding to each Class of fitting for rating purposes is shown in Table I. Design temperature and other service conditions shall be limited as provided by the applicable piping code of regulation for the material of construction of the fitting. Within these timits the maximum allowable pressure of a fitting shall be that computed for straight seamless pipe of equivalent material (as shown by comparison of composition and mechanical properties in the respective material specifications). The wall thickness used in such computation shall be that tabulated in ASME B36.10M for the size and applicable ‘manufacturing tolerances and other allowances, Any corrosion allowance and any variation in allowable stress due to temperature or other design shall be applied to the pipe and the fitting alike 3.12 Non-Standard Pipe Wall Thickness ince ASME B36.10M does not include Schedule 160 thickness for NPS '/s (DN 8), and NPS °% (DN 10); the values in Table 2 may be used as the nominal wall thickness of the pipe for rating purposes. 3.2 Pressure Test Capability Pressure testing is not required by this Standard Practice; however, the fitting shall be capable of withstanding hydrostatic test _ pressure required by the applicable piping code for the seamless pipe material equivalent to the fitting and of the schedule or wall thickness correlated with fitting class. 4. SIZE 4.1 General The reducer insert size is identified by its nominal pipe size (NPS). NPS is related to the reference nominal diameter, RD PRACTIC DN, used in international standards. ‘The relationship is as shown in the table below: nes | v4 [38 [12 [3 [1 [1% 2[™%[3[4 py | 8 [10 | 15 | 20 [a5 | 32 | ao | 50 | 65 | 80 | 100 ‘The largest pipe size of the reducer insert shall be listed firs, followed by the smaller pipe size. 5. MARKING SL General Each fitting shall be permanently marked with the required identification by stamping, electro-etching, or vibro-tool marking. Fittings shall be marked on the O.D., at the reduced opening end of the fitting, in a location such that the marking will not be obliterated as a result of welding installation. 5.1.1 Specific Marking ‘The marking shall include (but not limited to) the following, a) Manufacturer's Name or Trademark b) Material Identification Fittings shall be marked in accordance with requirements of either the applicable ASTM Fitting Specification(s) A234, A403, and A420, or the appropriate ASTM Forging Specification(s) A105, A182, and A350. ‘The material log or heat number traceable to the material shall be part of the material identification, «) Class Designation 3000 or 6000 as applicable Alternatively, the designation 3M or 6M, as applicable, may be used where M indicates 1000. 4) Size ‘The nominal pipe size(s), (NPS or DN), related to the end connections. ) Product Conformance Full compliance fittings shall be marked with the symbol “SP79” to denote conformance with this Standard Practice. Partial compliance fittings covered in Section 1.1.2 shall not be marked “SP79” and if marked with an ASTM designation, the marking shall include the number of the applicable “Supplementary Requirement” (S58) for special or non-standard fittings, as per ASTM 960-SS8. SP-79,MSS STAN) 5.2. Omission of Markings Where size and type of fitting do not permit all of the above ‘markings, they may be omitted in the reverse order given above. 6. MATERIAL 6.1 The material for fittings shall consist of forgings, bar, seamless pipe, or tubular products, which conform to requirements for the melting process, and chemical composition requirements of the forging product form as listed in ASME B16.34,Table 1; including applicable notes from Table 2 or Table VII-2 of the aforementioned standard. 6.2 Non-Standard Materials. When fittings of other materials reference this Standard Practice for Non-Standard coverage, they shall be marked as agreed between the ‘manufacturer and purchaser and. shall not include the identification specified in Section 5.1.1(b) and (c) of this Standard Practice. 7. DESIGN AND CAPABILITY These reducers are to be used as a reducing adapter between a straight size socket weld fitting and a smaller size pipe. By the nature of the part configuration, the minimum body wall thickness at the shank end will always be freater than the nominal wall thickness of the pipe, as established by ASME B36.10M with which they are used 8, DIMENSIONS AND TOLERANCES 8.1, General The dimensions and tolerances for reducer inserts capable of meeting these requirements are shown in Table 3 (US. customary units) or Table 3M (SI_ metric unit). 8.1.1 Reducer ends shall be at right angles to the axis and provide adequate surface against which to weld (see Figure 2). 8.1.2 Socket Depth The socket depth shall be no less than the minimum values shown in ‘Table 3 or Table 3M. RD PRACTIC 8.1.3 Socket Bore The inside surface of the socket bore shall present a workmanlike finish that is free of burrs. 8.14 Minimum Wall In order to provide the required shoulder for the fillet weld, the socket wall thickness at the welding end shall be at least 1.25 times the nominal thickness of the corresponding pipe shown in Table 3 or Table 3M, under column heading “Wall Min C”. USS. customary inch tolerances are shown at the bottom of Table 3 and (SI) metric tolerances at the bottom of Table 3M. 8.2 Additional Tolerances Tolerances in addition to those listed in Table 3 or Table 3M are as follows: (a) Concentricity of Bores ‘The socket and fitting bores shall be concentric within a tolerance of 0.03 inches (0.8 mm), (b) Concentricity of Axes The maximum allowable variation in the alignment of the fitting bore and socket bore axes shall be 0.06 inches in 1 foot (1.5 mm in 300 mm). 9, TESTING 9.1 Proof Testing Proof testing for fittings made from standard materials are not required by this Standard Pr 10, FINISH 10.1 Surfaces must be free of sharp burrs and hhave a workmanship like finish 11, CORROSION PROTECTION 11.1 Fittings shall be effectively protected against corrosion. Excess oils shall be considered unacceptable as_corrosion protective media. Specialty protection shall be a matter of agreement between the ‘manufacturer and purchaser. SP-79,MSS STAN) 12, CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING INSTALLATION OF SOCKET WELDED JOINTS 12.1 To minimize the possibility of cracking of the fillet welds, it is recommended that the shank portion of the reducer insert be withdrawn approximately 0.06 inches (1.5 mm) away from contact with the bottom of the socket before starting the weld. Likewise the pipe is to be kept away from contacting the bottom of the reducer insert socket before welding (see Figure 2). 12.2. To facilitate effective penetration in the fillet weld, it is further recommended that the Type I reducer insert be positioned to provide a root standoff of a minimum of 0.12 inches G.0 mm), (see Figure 1), RD PRACTIC SP-79, TABLE 1 Fitting Sizes/Pipe Correlation Class Sizes Pipe Used For Wall Designation NPS | DN Rating Purposes Designation 3000 Ya | 10-100 Schedule 80 xs 6000 Y—3_ | 10-80 Schedule 160 General Note: This table is not included to restrict the use of pipe of thinner walls with the Reducer Inserts.
