ASME B 16.11 is a standard developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers that specifies the requirements for forged fittings, including socket-welding and threaded types, used in piping systems. It outlines dimensions, tolerances, materials, and testing methods to ensure safety and reliability in industrial applications.

Key research themes

1. How is ASME B16.11 addressed in standards and manufacturing practice for forged fittings and gaskets?

This research theme investigates the standardization, dimensional requirements, and practical manufacturing considerations of forged pipe fittings and associated sealing components that correspond to ASME B16.11 specifications. It is crucial because ASME B16.11 governs the dimensions, tolerances, materials, and performance standards for threaded and socket-welding forged steel fittings widely used in pressure piping systems, affecting reliability and safety of industrial piping infrastructure.

Key finding: This comprehensive listing contextualizes ASME B16.11 within the broader spectrum of ASME piping-related standards, clarifying how B16.11 interfaces with other standards (such as B16.5 flanges and B16.21 gaskets) through... Read more

2. What procedural qualifications and technical considerations influence the joining and brazing processes associated with ASME B16.11 forge fittings?

This theme investigates essential joining procedures, such as brazing variables, joint design, postbraze heat treatments, and quality assurance needed for reliable assembly of forged fittings per ASME B16.11 standards. The interest lies in the impacts on mechanical performance, code conformity, and the necessity for qualification of brazing procedures to maintain integrity, especially where brazed fittings are an alternative to welded or threaded connections in process piping.

Key finding: This work systematically itemizes essential and nonessential brazing variables affecting procedure qualifications, describing how variations in joint design, clearances, flaming techniques, and postbraze heat treatments... Read more
