This document provides specifications for buttweld fittings including elbows, returns, and dimensions based on ANSI B16.9 and B16.28 standards. It lists nominal pipe sizes from 1/2 to 48 inches along with common dimensions, example weights, and notes on tolerances. Long radius elbows and returns have larger dimensions than short radius fittings for a given pipe size. Dimensions and weights are provided for various fittings up to 48 inch pipe size.

Notes
Dimensions quoted in mm are ‘Nominal’ values from B16.9 (i.e. rounded equivalents of the inch dimensions).
Refer to ASME/ANSI B16.9 for additional ‘Max’ and ‘Min’ metric dimensions.
For tolerances see page 6-2.
1 Weights are approximate and based on manufacturers’ data (where available) for Schedule 40S/Standard fittings.
See page 6-6 for further information.

Notes
For NPS 3/4 the fitting may be furnished with the following dimensions:
B = 2.25 in (57 mm nominal)
C = 1.69 in (43 mm nominal)
Dimension A = One half of dimension B
Dimensions quoted in mm are ‘Nominal’ values from B16.9 (i.e. rounded equivalents of the inch dimensions).
Refer to B16.9 for additional ‘Max’ and ‘Min’ metric dimensions.
For tolerances see page 6-2.
