 FOREWORD

In 1921, the American Engineering Standards Committee, later the American Standards Association (ASA), organized
Sectional Committee B16 to unify and further develop national standards for pipe flanges and fittings (and later, for
valves, gaskets, and valve actuators). Cosponsors of the B16 Committee were The American Society of Mechanical Engi-
neers (ASME), the Heating and Piping Contractors National Association [now the Mechanical Contractors Association of
America (MCAA)], and the Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry (MSS). Cosponsors
were later designated as cosecretariat organizations.
Standardization of welding fittings was initiated in 1937 by a subgroup (designated Subgroup 6) of Subcommittee 3.
After consideration of several drafts, a standard was approved by the committee, cosponsors, and ASA, and published
with the designation ASA B16.9-1940.
Revisions were made in 1950 and 1955 to add sizes up to NPS 24 and to complete coverage of fittings in some sizes.
These revisions were approved and published as ASA B16.9-1951 and ASA B16.9-1958. With the subgroup now desig-
nated Subcommittee 6 (later Subcommittee F), further revisions were begun to clarify the intent of the Standard, to add
angularity tolerances, and to include fittings of different types (long radius reducing elbows and crosses) and smaller sizes
(NPS 1∕4 and NPS 1∕2). This revision was published as ASA B16.9-1964 after ASA approval.
After reorganization of ASA, first as the United States of America Standards Institute (USASI), then as the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI), with the Sectional Committee being redesignated as an American National Standards
Committee, another revision increasing the size range to NPS 48 and revising the text for clarity was approved and
published as ANSI B16.9-1971.
In 1975, Subcommittee F began a major revision to bring the standard up to date with current practice and usage.
Common fractions were expressed as decimals (but without intending higher precision) and metric dimensional equiva-
lents were added. Provisions for step-wise change of radius for NPS 3∕4 long radius elbows and 180-deg returns were
introduced. Following Standards Committee, cosecretariat, and ANSI approval, the revision was published as ANSI B16.9-
1978. It was updated by a corrective addendum, B16.9a-1981, issued in February 1982.
In 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as an ASME committee operating under
procedures accredited by ANSI. In ASME/ANSI B16.9-1986, the text was revised and inch dimensions were established
as the standard.
In 1991, the subcommittee reviewed the Standard and made a number of revisions that were included in ASME B16.9-
1993. Dimensions for short pattern lap joints were also added.
In ASME B16.9-2001, short radius elbows and returns were added, which included all dimensions and tolerances of
ASME B16.28-1994. Metric units were provided as an independent but parallel alternative standard to U.S. Customary
units. U.S. Customary units were moved into parentheses or separate tables in Mandatory Appendix I. In addition, a
Quality System Program appendix was added.
In 2003, the subcommittee reviewed the Standard and made a number of revisions. The scope of the Standard was
changed to permit fabricated lap joint stub ends employing circumferential or intersection welds.
In 2006, the subcommittee reviewed the Standard and made a number of additions and revisions. Segmental elbow
requirements were added, as were 3D radius elbow dimensions. Reference documents were updated.
In 2012, the subcommittee reviewed the Standard and made numerous revisions to the design proof test in section 9
and updated the references in Mandatory Appendix II.
The 2018 edition added more specific descriptions of acceptable design methods, revised the requirements for the
design proof test, and updated the references. In addition, the U.S. Customary tables in Mandatory Appendix I were
merged with the metric tables and all tables were redesignated. Following the approval of the ASME B16 Standards
Committee, ANSI approved ASME B16.9-2018 as an American National Standard on September 25, 2018.
In 2024, the subcommittee reviewed the Standard and made a number of revisions. This edition adds sample reports for
pressure testing and defines minimum requirements for determining design thickness for design proof testing. In addi-
tion, Tables 6.1-10 and 11.2-1 have been revised, and options for marking nominal wall thickness have been added.
Material grade, material group, and method of manufacture have been added as required content for new proof test
reports, and the requirements for proof test reports prepared under previous editions have been revised. Following
approval by the ASME B16 Standards Committee, ASME B16.9-2024 was approved by ANSI on September 5, 2024.

 CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE B16 COMMITTEE

General. ASME codes and standards are developed and maintained by committees with the intent to represent the
consensus of concerned interests. Users of ASME codes and standards may correspond with the committees to propose
revisions or cases, report errata, or request interpretations. Correspondence for this Standard should be sent to the staff
secretary noted on the committee’s web page, accessible at https://go.asme.org/B16committee.

Revisions and Errata. The committee processes revisions to this Standard on a continuous basis to incorporate
changes that appear necessary or desirable as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Stan-
dard. Approved revisions will be published in the next edition of the Standard.
In addition, the committee may post errata on the committee web page. Errata become effective on the date posted.
Users can register on the committee web page to receive e-mail notifications of posted errata.
This Standard is always open for comment, and the committee welcomes proposals for revisions. Such proposals
should be as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number, the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the
reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent background information and supporting documentation.

Cases
(a) The most common applications for cases are
(1) to permit early implementation of a revision based on an urgent need
(2) to provide alternative requirements
(3) to allow users to gain experience with alternative or potential additional requirements prior to incorporation
directly into the Standard
(4) to permit the use of a new material or process
(b) Users are cautioned that not all jurisdictions or owners automatically accept cases. Cases are not to be considered
as approving, recommending, certifying, or endorsing any proprietary or specific design, or as limiting in any way the
freedom of manufacturers, constructors, or owners to choose any method of design or any form of construction that
conforms to the Standard.
(c) A proposed case shall be written as a question and reply in the same format as existing cases. The proposal shall also
include the following information:
(1) a statement of need and background information
(2) the urgency of the case (e.g., the case concerns a project that is underway or imminent)
(3) the Standard and the paragraph, figure, or table number
(4) the editions of the Standard to which the proposed case applies
(d) A case is effective for use when the public review process has been completed and it is approved by the cognizant
supervisory board. Approved cases are posted on the committee web page.

Interpretations. Upon request, the committee will issue an interpretation of any requirement of this Standard. An
interpretation can be issued only in response to a request submitted through the online Inquiry Submittal Form at

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) See Table 11.2-1 for tolerances.
(b) Service conditions and joint construction often dictate stub end length requirements. Therefore, the purchaser must specify long or short
pattern fitting when ordering.
NOTES:
(1) Gasket face finish shall be in accordance with ASME B16.5 for raised-face flanges.
(2) The lap thickness, T, shall not be less than nominal pipe wall thickness. See Table 11.2-1 for tolerance.
(3) When short pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 300 and 600, with most sizes in Classes 900 and higher, and when long
pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 1500 and 2500, it may be necessary to increase the length of the stub ends in order to
avoid covering the weld with the flange. Such increases in length shall be a matter of agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser.
(4) When special facings such as tongue and groove or male and female are employed, additional lap thickness must be provided and such
additional thickness shall be in addition to (not included in) the basic length, F.
(5) These dimensions conform to the radius established for lap joint flanges in ASME B16.5.
(6) This dimension conforms to standard machined facings shown in ASME B16.5. The back face of the lap shall be machined to conform to the
surface on which it sits. Where ring joint facings are to be applied, use dimension K as given in ASME B16.5.

other than 12.5%
(b) 0.875 times the nominal wall thickness of pipe ordered to a pipe schedule wall thickness that has an undertolerance of 12.5%
(2) The maximum thickness at the end of the component is as follows:
(a) the greater of [tmin + 4 mm (0.16 in.)] or 1.15tmin when ordered on a minimum wall basis
(b) the greater of [tmin + 4 mm (0.16 in.)] or 1.10tnom when ordered on a nominal wall basis
(3) Weld bevel shown is for illustration only.
(4) The weld reinforcement permitted by applicable code may lie outside the maximum envelope.
(5) Where transitions using maximum slope do not intersect the inside or outside surfaces within the transition region, as shown by the phantom
outline, maximum slopes shall be used. Alternatively, radii lying within the envelope may be used.

NOTES:
(1) Paragraph 9.4 applies to as-tested and qualified fittings.
(2) A test of any angle elbow covered in Tables 6.1-1 through 6.1-6 will qualify any other angle. A factory-made segment elbow that has a proof test
on a geometrically similar 45-deg or 90-deg elbow need not be tested separately.
(3) Straight conical (no tangent) and bell-shaped reducers are considered different design configurations and require separate testing.
(4) “Transition angle” is defined as the angle of the conical section and is calculated as the [arc tan (difference of diameters/twice the length)] for
concentric reducers or [arc tan (difference of diameters/length)] for eccentric reducers.

GENERAL NOTE: Tolerances are equal plus and minus except as noted.
NOTES:
(1) The inside diameter and the nominal wall thicknesses at ends are to be specified by the purchaser.
(2) For minimum wall thickness, see para. 11.1.
(3) Out-of-round is the sum of absolute values of plus and minus tolerances.
(4) This tolerance may not apply in localized areas of formed fittings where increased wall thickness is required to meet design requirements of para. 2.2.

ASME B16.9-2024
(5) Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, these tolerances apply to the nominal inside diameter. When ordered on nominal wall basis, the nominal inside diameter equals the difference
between the nominal outside diameter and twice the nominal wall thickness. When ordered on minimum wall basis, the nominal inside diameter equals the difference between the minimum
outside diameter and twice the minimum wall thickness.
