Malleable Iron Threaded Fittings - Pressure vs. Temperature Rating
ASME/ANSI B16.3 Malleable Iron Threaded Fittings - Pressure and Temperature Ratings.
This Standard for threaded malleable iron fittings Classes 150, and 300 provides requirements for the following:
- (a) pressure-temperature ratings
- (b) size and method of designating openings of reducing fittings
- (c) marking
- (d) materials
- (e) dimensions and tolerances
- (f) threading
- (g) coatings
Pressure-temperature ratings can be found in the table below:
