Fitting Standards

Some of the standards that apply to buttwelded fittings are listed below.  Many organizations such as ASME, ASTM, ISO, MSS, etc. have very well developed standards and specifications for buttwelded fittings.  It is always up to the designer to ensure that they are following the applicable standard and company specification, if available, during the design process.
