A boss is usually though of a a solid circular protusion, like a sockolet, but with no hole.

MSS Sp 97 give a max thickness which then tapers down. Basically thickness is whatever your vendor says is suitable.

Ask the vendor, but when even bonney forge who invented these things don't give min dimensions then you might not find it listed....

Pipe wall thickness look at the line list.

BTW, this formum is fairly quiet. If you want piping questions try the pipeline and piping forum
