Stainless steel screwed (threaded) fittings follow strict material, dimension, and pressure standards. Sizes normally range from 1/8' to 4' NB. Common grades are SS 304/304L and SS 316/316L, built to standards like ASME B16.11 and ASTM A182, utilizing NPT or BSP thread types. Key Specifications & Standards • Material Grades: ASTM A182 / ASME SA182 (Forged), ASTM A351 / A276 (Cast) — Grades 304, 304L, 316, 316L. • Dimensions & Design: ASME B16.11 (Forged Threaded Fittings), MSS SP-79, MSS SP-83, MSS SP-95, and BS 3799. Class 150 cast fittings follow ISO 4144 or MSS SP-114. • Size Range: 1/8 inch to 4 inch NB (nominal bore) for standard fittings; nipples can extend up to 6 inches. • Pressure Ratings / Classes: • Class 150 (Low pressure, threaded cast) • Class 2000 (Equivalent to Schedule 80 / XS) • Class 3000 (Equivalent to Schedule 160) • Class 6000 (Equivalent to Schedule XXS) Thread Types • NPT (National Pipe Thread): 60° thread angle, tapered threads common in North America. • BSP / BSPT / BSPP (British Standard Pipe): 55° thread angle, available in tapered (BSPT) or parallel (BSPP) forms common globally. Common Fitting Types • 90° & 45° Elbows • Equal & Reducing Tees • Full & Half Couplings • Hex Bushings & Plugs • Pipe Nipples & Unions • Caps & Crosses If you're working on a specific project, please let me know:The pressure class or application (e.g., steam, water, oil/gas)The required thread type (NPT or BSP)The specific fitting type and size you needI can help you narrow down the exact configuration or material grade required.
