Butt Weld Pipe Fittings

ANSI/ASME B16.25 is the standard covers the preparation of butt welding ends of piping components to be joined into a piping system by welding. The standard includes the butt welding ends information of General scope, Welding Bevel designs, Preparation of inside diameter of welding ends and the tolerances involved. ANSI/ASME B16.25, Buttwelding Ends Following are the dimensions of the butt welding pipe ends according to ANSI B16.25. It includes requirements forwelding bevels, for external and internal shaping of heavy-wall components, and for preparation of internal ends (including dimensions and tolerances). Coverage includes preparation for joints with the following: (a) no backing rings (b) split or noncontinuous backing rings (c) solid or continuous backing rings (d) consumable insert rings (e) gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) of the root pass Details of preparation for any backing ring must be specified when ordering the component.

ANSI/ASME B16.25 Standard applies to any metallic materials for which a welding procedure can be satisfactorily qualified, but does not prescribe specific welding processes or procedures. Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, it does not apply towelding ends conforming to ASME B16.5, B16.9, or B16.47.
