This subsection summarises requirements for high pressure (HP) socket weld and
threaded fittings as defined in ASME/ANSI B16.11-1991 and BS 3799:1974. Dimensions
are reproduced in pages 7-6 to 7-25, including coverage of Outlet fittings that are also
used in high pressure applications.
Specifications
The specifications applicable to high pressure socket weld and threaded fittings are as follows:
ASME/ANSI B16.11-1991 - Forged fittings,

socket-welding and threaded.
BS 3799:1974 - Steel pipe fittings, screwed and
socket-welding for the petroleum industry. This
specification is substantially the same as B16.11.
A summary of the fittings, sizes and pressure

ratings (class designations) covered by B16.11
and BS 3799 is provided in the tables below. The
first table also shows the pipe weights defined as
compatible with the various classes of fitting.

Notes
1 Class designations correspond to the maximum cold working pressure of fittings in pounds force per square inch.
2 The wall thicknesses quoted are not restrictive but do correlate for calculation of pressure ratings. Thicker or thinner pipe
may be used, but when thinner pipe is used its strength should govern the pressure rating.
3 Bore dimensions for Class 3000 lb socket welding fittings correspond to Schedule 40 pipe.
4 Bore dimensions for Class 6000 lb socket welding fittings correspond to Schedule 160 pipe.

Manufacture
ASME/ANSI B16.11-1991. ASME/ANSI stainless

steel socket weld or threaded fittings are most
commonly
manufactured
from
material
conforming to ASTM A182 (see page 4-6).
BS 3799:1974. Manufacturing requirements are
substantially the same as for B16.11. Stainless
steel grades specified are as indicated in the
pressure/temperature ratings table on page 7-4.
Marking should include (in priority order):

- Manufacturers name or trademark
- Material identification (in accordance with A 182,
- Class or pressure ratings (e.g. 3000 lb)
- Size
Markings may be omitted (least priority first from
above list) if fitting size or shape imposes limits.
Outlets. Socket weld and threaded outlets
comply with B16.11 requirements, although
B16.11 does not specifically cover outlets.
Pressure Ratings
General. The Class designation (e.g. 3000 lb) of

the high pressure fittings indicates the maximum
cold working pressure.
ASME/ANSI B16.11 Fittings. ASME/ANSI
B16.11 specifies the allowable pressure/
temperature rating to be that of seamless pipe of
the equivalent material and wall thickness.

BS 3799 Fittings. BS 3799 includes a table of

pressure/temperature rating. This is reproduced
on page 7-4.
Outlets. These fittings conform to the pressure
requirements of ASME/ANSI B16.11.

Notes
The pressure ratings assume stainless steel forging material manufactured as follows (ASTM A 182 equivalents are approximate):
WP304 = BS 1503 304S40 = A 182 F304
WP304L = BS 1503 304S30 = A 182 F304L
WP321 = BS 1503 321S40 = A 182 F321
WP316 = BS 1503 316S40 or S41 = A 182 F316
WP316L = BS 1503 316S30 or S31 = A 182 F316L
The pressure ratings assume stainless steel pipe manufactured as follows (ASTM A 312 equivalents are approximate):
WP304 = BS 3605 304S18 = A 312 TP304
WP304L = BS 3605 304S14 = A 312 TP304L
WP321 = BS 3605 321S18 = A 312 TP321

in localised areas. (Dimension C is not specified in ASME/ANSI B16.11 for Class 6000 lb Caps larger than NPS 2.)
Dimensions B, J, E and F are the same for Class 3000, 6000 and 9000 lb fittings.
BS 3799 does not cover NPS 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 or 4. BS 3799 dimensions and tolerances are shown in italics.
1 These values for K are BS 3799 minimum values, quoted because they differ from the ASME/ANSI B16.11 values.

Note
Dimensions and tolerances shown are as specified in ASME/ANSI B16.11-1991. These agree substantially with BS 3799:1974. Exceptions are indicated in the following notes.
BS 3799 does not cover any Class 2000 lb fittings, and Class 6000 lb fittings with NPS <1/2.
BS 3799 dimensions G and L2 vary slightly from the ANSI values quoted. Dimension B is not specified in BS 3799.
Dimension B is the length of perfect thread. L2 is the effective length of thread based on ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 (NTP), see page 10-11.

Outlets
Outlets may be used in place of welded or threaded tees to reduce costs and provide
more flexible fabrication (run your pipe then weld on fittings) while maintaining full pipe
strength for all sizes, weights and schedules. The following pages contain the dimension
tables for socket weld, threaded and buttweld outlets.
Note
Manufactures information is used as the basis for information in this outlets subsection. Manufacturers data may vary.
Specifications
Manufacture. Socket weld and threaded outlets

are manufactured to the requirements of ASME/
ANSI B16.11 - Forged fitting, socket welding and
threaded, although outlet dimensions are not
specified in B16.11. Buttweld outlets are
manufactured to the requirements of ASME/ANSI
B16.9 - Factory-made wrought steel buttwelding
fittings, although outlet dimensions are not
specified in B16.9.
Pressure Rating. Outlets are rated the same as

seamless steel pipe, as defined in the American
National Standard Codes for Pressure Piping,
ANSI B31.1 and B31.3, the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code. Refer to page 5-28 for a
summary of pipe pressure rating calculations.
Designations
In order to reduce warehouse inventories, outlets of the same size are designed to be used with the a range of
run pipe sizes. This can be done without causing a problem when welding because the resulting maximum gap
between welded surfaces (caused by the curvature of the outlet when compared with the pipe) is only 1/32 in
(0.8 mm).
The table below shows the range of outlets available.
For example: outlets with a run size range (e.g. 8 - 3 x 1/2) will fit on any size of run pipes in the range (e.g. 3,
31/2, 4, 5, 6 or 8).
