Seeking help with branch fittings
Thread Content
There is a project that features two types of fittings: Branch Fitting Plain and Branch Outlet; the latter being a branch outlet unit. What is the former? I haven’t seen it; please give me some advice, friends.
Thank you! However, I have some questions and would like to discuss them with you. Regarding this specification for pipe fittings, it was established in accordance with the standard \"GB/T14383-2008 Forged Socket-Welding and Threaded Fittings\". The corresponding American standard is \"ASME B16.11 Forged Fittings, Socket-Welding and Threaded\", and the national standard was formulated with reference to this American standard, as clearly stated in the standard itself. Here’s the issue: according to American standards, the corresponding names for these double-socket pipe couplings and single-socket pipe couplings are \"coupling\" and \"half coupling\", respectively – not \"Branch Fitting Plain\" as used in my project. Please help analyze it.
For ordinary branch installation, is it a saddle-shaped connection, and is a branch pipe support not required? Is the material provided as fittings?
Right now we only have the FEED file; this is related to pipe fittings
Branch Fitting Plain – Socket and spigot pipe clamp; Branch Outlet – Branch outlet fitting
May I ask which standard includes this technical term? As I mentioned earlier, the commonly used standards abroad are ASME B16.11 and MSS_SP, but neither of these standards contains the technical term \"Branch Fitting Plain\".
The standards for this Shell product are detailed in the attached diagram; it solves the problem perfectly. Where is the reward?
Projects in Europe and the United States are quite special; for certain special fittings and standard variants, ExxonMobil and Shell apply their own standards. For example, branch fittings and short sections are combined into a single fitting by some companies
ASME B16.11 and MSS_SP are the most fundamental standards, and many companies develop additional designs based on them
