I know that ASME B16.11 (Table 2) gives the correlation between fitting class and schedule or wall designation of pipe for the calculation of the fitting rating. However B16.11 does not cover pipe unions.

MSS-SP-83 gives the pressure-temperature rating for 3000# unions, but I have been unable to find a source for the P-T rating for 6000# unions.

Can someone point me in the right directions?

Thanks, Tom
