ASME B16.11 Threaded Hex Nipples

A Reducing Screwed Hex Nipple 3000LB Threaded is a pipe fitting that consists of a short hex pipe with male threads on both ends, each of a different size. This fitting is used to connect two pipes or components, including Alloy Steel Forged Screwed Hex Nipples and Reducing Nipples, often in water filtration systems.

The ASTM A182 SS Threaded Hex Nipples are available in various grades, including stainless steel types like 304, 304L, 316, 316L, and 904L. In addition to stainless steel, manufacturers produce Screwed Hex Nipples from materials such as carbon steel, brass, copper, aluminum, cupro-nickel, nickel alloys, and alloy steel, in both seamless and welded forms. 

The Threaded Pipe Forged Hex Nipple Dimensions are manufactured in line with ASME B16.11 / BS 3799 standards. These standards cover dimensions, pressure and temperature ratings, marking, tolerances, and material requirements.

Forged Screwed Hex Nipple made from Alloy 200 or Alloy 201 is highly resistant to caustic alkalies, even in their molten state. The low carbon content in both Alloy 200 and Alloy 201 provides excellent protection against intergranular corrosion at temperatures above 315°C. For this reason, Nickel Alloy 200 Hex Nipples are recommended for use in high-temperature environments. However, it is important to minimize the presence of chlorates in these alloys, as they can increase the rate of corrosion.

SS 310 Threaded Hex Nipple is a medium carbon austenitic stainless steel, ideal for high-temperature applications such as furnace parts and heat treatment equipment. This grade can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1150°C and intermittent temperatures up to 1035°C. The 310S version is a low-carbon variant, suitable for situations where the lower carbon content is beneficial.

The ASME B16.11 Threaded Hex Nipple Standard outlines the ratings, dimensions, tolerances, marking, and material requirements for socket-welding and threaded forged fittings. These fittings are classified into pressure Classes 2000, 3000, and 6000 for threaded ends, and Classes 3000, 6000, and 9000 for socket-weld ends. This standard should be used along with other volumes of the ASME B16 series and ASME standards, such as the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the B31 Piping Codes.
