ASME B16.11 Tolerance
Dimensional Tolerances
- Wall Thickness: The tolerance for wall thickness is typically specified as ±12.5% of the nominal wall thickness.
- Socket Bore Diameter: The bore diameter tolerance is detailed for proper fit, generally ±0.15 mm (0.006 in) for smaller fittings, but may vary with size.
- Length of Fitting: The length tolerances for socket-weld fittings are within ±1.6 mm (±0.06 in) for most sizes.
Threaded Fittings Tolerances
- Thread Dimensions: Conform to ASME B1.20.1 standards for NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads. The tolerances ensure proper engagement and sealing.
- Thread Length: Must meet the standard thread engagement requirements as defined for each fitting size.
Socket Weld Fittings Tolerances
- Socket Depth: The depth tolerance ensures proper weld penetration and alignment. It is typically ±0.8 mm (0.031 in).
- Bore Alignment: Must maintain concentricity to avoid misalignment during welding.
Machining and Finish
- The fittings must have a clean surface finish, free from defects that could compromise integrity, with specific machining tolerances depending on the application.
Overall Dimensions
- The overall dimensions of the fittings must align with the nominal pipe sizes and tolerances listed in the ASME B16.11 tables for the respective fitting types.
