Thank you!

I'm looking for a non-surge closing check valve for fuel service / petroleum industries. NPS 6" flanged #150 May you please link a reliable supplier / manufacturer? Thank you!

Pipe A312 UNS No. S31254 exists in 2016 edition. Please see in Table A-1 / A-1M at 20Cr–18Ni–6Mo Please note that tensile values are not the same for thk. >3⁄16 and ≤3⁄16 Please consider Basic Quality Factor acc. to Table A-1B for the relevant pipe description.

API 570 - 2016:

Please recheck which edition of B16.5 this exam sample refer to. Paragraphs 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 regarded only to Table 9 (Class 150) and 12 (Class 300) flanged fittings. Flanged fittings of class 400 and higher are listed only with Nonmandatory annexes since the edition of 2003

r6155 Material grade designation marking includes the prefix “WP” as it required for standard fittings (B16.9 4.4.1) Pressure rating designation is not applicable for fittings such as caps. There is no rating similarity to ASME B16.5 flanges since it's class designation is a dimensionless...

Hi friends, Thanks for your concern. No, nothing is placed on this end cap (the vessel is horizontal). I am very well aware about that any operation on a butt weld fitting outside it's welding end made it been considered as "Unlisted component" and it is no longer accepted under the provision of...

Thank you metengr Very well explained!

Thanks, metengr Your approach, as well as the other posts here, is B16.9's required minimum wall thickness is for entire fitting surface. How may you refer to the phrase: "minimum dimensional requirements" in Interpretation 1-4 (quoted above)? Should it exclude wall thickness? Namely: does a...

This is the point of the question: Pressure temperature rating for B16.9 fittings shall be calculated. So, where shall we measure fitting's thickness? From the following interpretation of ASME B16.9 it seems that thickness shall be measured at welding end: Interpretation 1-4: Subject: B16.9...

Hi all, Head of a pressure vessel made of ASME B16.9 Cap, NPS: 24" ; Nominal W.T: XS (12.7 mm) ; Material: SA-234 WPB Design wall thickness calculated acc. to the requirements of ASME VIII-1 / UG-44 is: 10.75 mm Actual wall thickness measured on cap: 12.4 mm at welding end ; 9.6 mm (min) at...

It seems you probably have a pipe there. Its coming into the bore of a Slip-On flange. Standard flanges (ASME B16.5) are made acc. to nominal pipe sizes. You may simply measure the outside diameter (do it on a straight section). The OD for NPS 1/2" is 0.84" (21.336 mm) regardless to the sch...

thanks weldstan
