ASME B16.9 is the dimensioning standard established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for use wrought factory-made buttwelding fittings. The specification and size of butt - welded tee pipe fittings and other general requirements are specified in detail.

A403 is ASTM standard for forged austenitic stainless steel pipe fittings. WP304 is a kind of material in ASTM A403 standard. In ASTM A403 standard, according to the size and pressure grade of ASME or MSS standard, the grade of stainless steel pipe parts is expressed with prefix WP or CR.

The ASTM standard specifies the specific manufacturing process and precise chemical composition requirements for steel pipes, fittings and flanges, including the content percentage of carbon, manganese, nickel and other chemical elements. Materials are distinguished by steel grades.

ANSI is the American National Standards Institute. ANSI standards are compiled in the following three ways:1. The relevant organization shall be responsible for drafting, invite experts or professional group to vote, and submit the results to the standard review committee by ANSI for consideration

Why Calculate Weight of Lap Joint Stub End?The calculator weight is used to choose the package and transportation method, beause Lap joint stub end is usually in small demands.
