1、Designation: A 815/A 815M 09Standard Specification forWrought Ferritic, Ferritic/Austenitic, and MartensiticStainless Steel Piping Fittings1This standard is issued under the fixed designationA 815/A 815M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in
2、the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers two general classes, WP andCR, of wrought ferritic, ferri
3、tic/austenitic, and martensiticstainless steel fittings of seamless and welded constructioncovered by the latest revision of Specification A 960/A 960M.Fittings differing from these standards may be furnished inaccordance with Supplementary Requirement S58 of Specifi-cation A 960/A 960M.1.1.1 Class
4、WP fittings are subdivided into four subclasses:Classes WP-S, WP-W, WP-WX, and WP-WU. They aremanufactured to the requirements of Specification A 960/A 960M, and they shall have pressure ratings compatible with12.2. Class WP-S fittings are those manufactured from seam-less product by a seamless meth
5、od of manufacture (markedwith class symbol WP-S); Class WP-W fittings are those whichcontain welds where the fitting fabrication or constructionwelds have been radiographed (marked with class symbolWP-W); and Class WP-WX fittings are those which containwelds where all welds have been radiographed (m
6、arked withclass symbol WP-WX); and Class WP-WU fittings are thosewhich contain welds where all welds have been ultrasonicallytested (marked with class symbol WP-WU).1.1.2 Class CR fittings are those manufactured to therequirements of MSS SP-43, and they shall have pressureratings compatible with 12.
7、3.1.2 This specification does not apply to cast fittings.1.3 Optional supplementary requirements are provided.When desired, one or more of these may be specified in theorder.1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound unitsand in SI units. However, unless the order specifies theapplicable
8、 “M” specification designation SI units, the mate-rial shall be furnished to inch-pound units.1.5 The values stated 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 eq
9、uivalents; therefore, each systemshall be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in non-conformance with thestandard.2.
