3、S. Department of Defense.1NOTETable 2 editorially corrected in January 2014.1. Scope*1.1 This specification2covers wrought carbon steel andalloy steel fittings of seamless and welded construction coveredby the latest revision of ASME B16.9, B16.11, MSS-SP-79,MSS-SP-83, MSS-SP-95, and MSS-SP-97. Thes

4、e fittings arefor use in pressure piping and in pressure vessel fabrication forservice at moderate and elevated temperatures. Fittings differ-ing from these ASME and MSS standards shall be furnished inaccordance with Supplementary Requirement S58 of Specifi-cation A960/A960M.1.2 Optional supplementa

5、ry requirements are provided forfittings where a greater degree of examination is desired. Whendesired, one or more of these supplementary requirements maybe specified in the order.1.3 This specification does not cover cast welding fittings orfittings machined from castings. Cast steel welding fitti

6、ngs aregoverned by Specifications A216/A216M and A217/A217M.1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound unitsand in SI units. However, unless the order specifies theapplicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the mate-rial shall be furnished to inch-pound units.1.5 The values sta

7、ted in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each systemshall be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems

Failure to comply with the requirements of SpecificationA960/A960M constitutes non-conformance with this specifi-cation. In case of a conflict between t

19、he requirements of thisspecification and Specification A960/A960M, this specificationshall prevail.5. Materials5.1 The material for fittings shall consist of killed steel,forgings, bars, plates, sheet, and seamless or fusion-weldedtubular products with filler metal added and shall conform tothe chem

20、ical requirements of Table 1. Unless otherwise speci-fied for carbon steel plates and sheet, the steel may be made toeither coarse grain or fine grain practice. Grade WP9 shall bemade to fine grain practice.5.2 A starting material specification that specifically re-quires the addition of any element

21、 beyond those listed for thematerials in Table 1 for the applicable grade of material is notpermitted. This does not preclude the use of deoxidizers or thejudicious use of elements for grain size control.6. Manufacture6.1 Forging or shaping operations may be performed byhammering, pressing, piercing

35、 and WPR fittingsfinished at temperature in excess of 1800 F 980 C shallsubsequently be annealed, normalized, or normalized andtempered. Hot-forged fittings NPS 4 or smaller need not beheat treated.7.2.3 WPB, WPC, and WPR fittings over NPS 12, producedby locally heating a portion of the fitting stoc
