FOREWORD

(This Foreword is not part of ASME B16.14-1991.)

In 1921, theAmericanEngineeringStandardsCommittee[latertheAmerican
Standards Association (ASA)] organized Sectional Committee B16 to unify and develop
standards for pipe flanges and fittings. Cosponsors of the B16 Committee were the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Heating and Piping Contractors
National Association [now Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA)],
and the Manufacturers StandardizationSociety of the Valve and Fitting Industry (MSS).
Cosponsors were later designated as Co-Secretariat organizations.
Threadedfittingswere also included in thescope of the B16 Committee.and
Subcommittee 2 (now SubcommitteeB) was made responsible for threaded fittings other
than steel.
The American Standard for Pipe Plugs was originally published as ASA B16e2-1936.
It had been developed by Subcommittee 2 from material assembled and published by
MSS as a standard practice in April, 1929.
From the beginning, pipe plugs have been made with the American Standard Taper
Pipe Thread but thedesign of the square heads necessary to screw them into fittings or
any tapedhole has beenamatter of manufacturers’and users’individualdesign.
However, the use of pipe plugs soon broadened and they came to be employed in many
other service applications, e.g., automotive and industrialmachinery. Accordingly, it was
natural for the dimensions of the square heads and the sockets to conform to standard
open wrench sizes and to maximum dimensions of standard hot rolled steel bars.
Pipe bushing and locknut dimensions were originally included in ASA B16c-1939,
American Standard for 150 lb Malleable Iron Screwed Fittings. B16c-1939 was adapted
from information assembled and publishedby MSS in 1929.
Inresponsetoademandfor inclusion underone cover, B16.14-1943, American
Standard for Ferrous Plugs, Bushings, Locknuts, and Caps, was developed from ASA
B16c-1939 and ASA B16d-1941, the American Standard for Cast Iron Screwed Fittings,
125 lb and 250 lb, and approved by ASA in October1943. The section of B16.14 covering
pipe caps was later removed because of differences in pressure ratings between caps
made of cast iron and malleable iron.
This Standard was revisedin1948 and was approved by letter ballot vote of the
Sectional Committee and, following the approval of the sponsor bodies, itwas presented
to ASA, now the AmericanNational StandardsInstitute,
Inc.
(ANSI), with
recommendations for approval as an American Standard. This approval and designation
was given on April 6, 1949.
Subcommittee 2 began a review of the document in 1963 and completed its work in
1964. The Sectional Committee approved a number of minor changes in format and
wording. Following approval by the sponsor organizations, ANSI approval was granted
on November 12, 1965.
In 1970, a review was initiated by Subcommittee 2, which resulted in the proposal to
revise the document in several minor areas as well as up-dating referenced standards.
Following approvals by theStandardsCommitteeandCo-Secretariat, ANSI granted

approval on November 1, 1971.


In 1975, review was again initiated by Subcommittee B (formerly 2) and it was
determinedthatthe only significantchanges neededwereup-dating of referenced
standardsandtheaddition of metricequivalents.Approvalswere granted by the
Standards Committee, Co-Secretariat and ANSI, the latter on February 4, 1977.
In 1982, the American National Standards Committee was reorganized as an ASME
Committeeoperatingunder
proceduresaccredited by ANSI. That sameyear,
Subcommittee B once again began review of the Standard. Theonly changes made were
the dates of the referenced standards. After approval by the Standards Committee and
the ASME, final approval was granted by ANSI in July 1983.
This revision of B16.14 establishes U.S. customary units as the Standard, updates the
referenced standards, and specifies minimum specifications for steel fittings. Following
approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, approval as an American National
Standard was given byANSI on January4, 1991, with the new designation ASMEB16.14-
1991.
This Standardis issued on a subscription service addenda basis. The use of an addenda
system allows revisions made in response to publicreview comments or committee actions
to be published on a regular biannual basis. Revisions published by addenda become
effective one year after the Date of Issuance.
ASME issues written replies to inquiries concerning interpretation of technical aspects
of this Standard. With the 1983 Edition, interpretationswill be included withthe addenda
service. Interpretations are not part of the addenda to the Standard. A l l requests for
interpretationsor suggestions for revisions shouldbesentto:Secretary, B16, The

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) Dimensions are in inches.
(b) Cored bushings have minimum metal thickness at all points, equal to dimension G, except at the end of the thread

NOTES:
(1) Hexagon head or octagon head bushings, size 2l.2 and smaller reducing one size shall not be made of gray cast iron. Other
sizes may be made either of cast iron or malleable iron, ductile iron or steel. Face bushings sizes 2’ 2 and smaller shall no t be
made of gray cast iron. Face bushings, size 3 and larger reducing one size shall not be made of gray cast iron. Face bushil ngs.
size 3 and larger reducing t w o sizes or more may be made either of cast or malleable iron, ductile iron or steel.
(2) In the case of outside head bushings, Length A includes provisions for imperfect threads. (See also para. 7 ) .
( 3 ) Heads of bushings shall be hexagonal or octagonal, except that on the larger sizes of outside head bushings the heads ma
made round with lugs instead of hexagonal or octagonal.
(4) G same as metal thickness for Class 125 Cast Iron Threaded Fittings (ANSIIASME B1 6.4).For tolerance, see para. 6(b).
(5) To provide proper metal thickness these sizes shall not be cored out to diameters greater than the root diameter of the intc
thread. The length of the internal thread may be equal to the minimum dimension, T, or greater up to the full length of busk
(6)W h e n m a d e of bar stock, the dimensions may be ?E, l ’ j l 6 , ’ 8 . 1 ’ 8 , and 1 ’ 1 6 in., respectively, in order to use regular bar s.
sizes.
