    Socketweld angle of deflection

    In the 3d modeling world, we need to set a deflection angle for SW fittings. Looking at B16.11, pg 7.2, myself and another arrived at a real world deflection angle of .29 degrees. This allows a very small adjustment of pipe angle at a socketweld fitting. Now, in the past, i have seen isometrics...

    B16.11 socketweld fitting deflection angle

    to be clear, I'm not a welder. I understand that there's a 1/16" gap at bottom of socket. Just trying to determine max. deflection. Here's an example of a previous project where this SW line was sloped 1/4"per foot. As you can see the vertical segment is not on a skew and 1.2 deg mitre's are...

    Joining method for Ductile Iron Pipe

    Pardon my lack of knowledge on the subject, but that's why I'm here. Doing a retrofit job at a wastewater facility where the exist. system is cement lined ductile iron pipe with a combination of mech. jt. fittings and Victaulic fittings. Question, when making a tie-in to an exist. 12" D.I.P...
