ASTM A105 and ASME B16.11 are commonly used together for forged pipe fittings such as socket weld and threaded fittings.
✅ ASTM A105 / ASME B16.11 Fittings Overview
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Material | ASTM A105 – forged carbon steel |
| Standard | ASME B16.11 – covers dimensions and tolerances for forged fittings |
| Fitting Types | Socket Weld (SW) and Threaded (NPT) fittings: elbows, tees, couplings, unions, caps, crosses, reducers |
| Size Range | NPS 1/8" to 4" |
| Pressure Ratings | Class 2000, 3000, 6000, and 9000 (depends on fitting type and size) |
| Applications | High-pressure piping in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, etc. |
| Heat Treatment | Normalizing required for larger sizes or for NACE MR0175 compliance |
| Documentation | Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1), NACE MR0175 compliance upon request |
📌 Example:
ASTM A105 90° Socket Weld Elbow, 1", Class 3000, ASME B16.11
Material: Forged carbon steel
Type: 90° elbow
Connection: Socket weld
Pressure Class: 3000
Dimensions: Per ASME B16.11
