Welding Ends of ASME B16.9 Pipe Fittings

Depending on the nominal wall thickness t, ASME B16.9 butt welding pipe fittings may be furnished with three types of welding ends in accordance with ASME B16.25: square cut, plain bevel, and compound bevel.

1. Square-Cut Welding Ends

For carbon steel or ferritic alloy steel pipe fittings with the nominal wall thickness t less than 5 mm(0.19 inch) and austenitic alloy steel fittings with the nominal wall thickness t less than 3 mm(0.12 inch), the welding ends shall be square-cut.

2. Plain Bevel Welding Ends

SS 316L 90° Elbows with plain bevel ends.

ASTM A403 316L 4″ SCH40 90° elbows L/R, plain bevel ends.

Butt welding pipe fittings manufactured to ASME B16.9 shall be furnished with plain bevel welding ends when the nominal wall thickness t meets any of the following requirements: (1) For carbon steel or ferritic alloy steel, 5 mm(0.19 inch) ≤ t ≤ 22 mm(0.88 inch); (2) For austenitic alloy steel 3 mm(0.12 inch) ≤ t ≤ 22 mm(0.88 inch).
