ASME B31.3 TRAINING COURSE
The lack of commentary, or historical perspective, regarding the ASME B31.3 Code requirements for process piping design and construction is an obstacle to the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector, and owner who wants to provide a safe and economical piping system. This intensive five-day course, through the use of hundreds of examples shown and personal experiences of the instructors demonstrates how the ASME B31.3 Code has been correctly and incorrectly applied. This seminar explains the principal intentions of the Code and why the Code is not a handbook. Attendees come away from this seminar with a clear understanding of how piping systems fail and what the Codes require the designer, manufacturer, fabricator, supplier, erector, examiner, inspector and owner to do to prevent such failures. The focus of the seminar is to enhance participants understanding and application of the ASME B31.3 Code. Instruction is further enhanced by in-class problem solving, directly applying the rules and equations of the ASME B31.3 Codes for specific design and operating conditions to illustrate correct applications.

Design for Manufacturing: Challenges & OpportunitiesCheryl Tulkoff
In the electronics industry. the quality and reliability of any product is highly dependent upon the capability of the manufacturing supplier, regardless of whether it is a contractor or a captured shop. Manufacturing issues are one of the top reasons that companies fail to meet warranty expectations, which can result in severe financial pain and eventual loss of market share. What a surprising number of engineers and managers fail to realize is that focusing on processes addresses only part of the issue. Design plays a critical role in the success or failure of manufacturing and assembly.
Designing printed boards today is more difficult than ever before because of the increased lead free process temperature requirements and associated changes required in manufacturing. Not only has the density of the electronic assembly increased, but many changes are taking place throughout the entire supply chain regarding the use of hazardous materials and the requirements for recycling. Much of the change is due to the European Union (EU) Directives regarding these issues. The RoHS and REACH directives have caused many suppliers to the industry to rethink their materials and processes. Thus, everyone designing or producing electronics has been or will be affected.
This presentation provides a comprehensive insight into the areas where design plays an important role in the manufacturing process. This workshop addresses the increasingly sophisticated PCB fabrication technologies and processes.

INTEGRALLY REINFORCED FORGED BRANCH OUTLET FITTINGS -
SOCKET WELDING, THREADED, AND BUTTWELDING ENDS
. SCOPE
J.1 This Standard Practice covers essential
dimensions, finish, tolerances, testing,
marking, material, and minimum strength
requirements for 90 and 45 degree integrally
reinforced forged branch outlet fittings of
buttwelding, socket welding, and threaded
types.
1.2 Fittings manufactured to this Standard
Practice are designed to make a fully
reinforced branch connection in accordance
with applicable piping code requirements,
when attached, at an opening in a run pipe by
means ofa full penetration weld.
1.3 Fittings may be made to special
dimensions, size, shape, tolerances, or ofother
wrought material by agreement between the
manufacturer and the purchaser.
1.4 Standard Units Tables 2 through 7
show the fitting's dimensional requirements in
customary units or inches (decimal). Tables
A2 through A7 show the fitting's dimensional
requirements in SI (metric) units (e.g.,
millimeters). The values stated in either
customary or SI (metric) units are to be
regarded separately as the Standard. Within
the body text, the SI (metric) units are shown
in parenthesis. Combining values from the two
systems may result in non-conformance with
the Standard Practice. The values stated in
each option are not exact equivalents;
therefore, each measurement system must be
used independently ofthe other.
2. SERVICE DESIGNATION
2.1 These fittings are designated by their
size, type, and class, as shown in Table I.
2.2 Design temperature and other service
conditions shall be limited as provided by the
applicable piping code or regulation for the
material of construction of the fitting. Within
these limits, the maximum allowable pressure
of a fitting shall be that computed for straight
seamless run pipe of equivalent material (as
shown by comparison of composition and
mechanical properties in the respective
material specifications). The wall thickness
used in such computation shall be that
tabulated in ASME 836.1OM for the size and
applicable schedule of pipe reduced by
applicable manufacturing tolerances and other
allowances (e.g., threaded allowances).
2.3 Any corrosion allowance and any
variation in allowable stress due to
temperature or other design factors shall be
applied to the pipe and fitting alike. The pipe
wall thickness corresponding to each Class of
fitting, for rating purposes only, is shown in
Table I.

6. DESIGN AND DIMENSION
6.1 A run pipe having a branch connection is
weakened by the opening made in it The
branch connection must reinforce the opening
and restore the original strength of the run
pipe. It is the intent of this Standard Practice
that these integrally reinforced branch outlet
fittings and the deposited weld metal used to
attach the fittings to run pipes contain all the
reinforcement required by the applicable
pressure vessel or piping codes without the
addition ofsaddles or pads.
6.1.1 The adequacy of the design of branch
connection fittings may be established by
mathematical analyses contained in pressure
vessel or piping codes. or. at the
manufacturer's option. by proof testing in
accordance with Section 7 and Annex B.
Records of design or proof tests shall be
available at the manufacturer's facility for
inspection by the purchaser.
6.1.2 The pressure vessel or piping codes
referred to in Section 6.1.1 permit a variety of
attachment welds for these fittings. Typical
branch attachments are shown in ASME
B31.1 and B31.3.
6.1.3 Fittings shall be contoured to provide
a good fit at the opening in the run pipe. The
run attachment weld bevel angle design will
vary with the size and type offitting and with
the manufacturer. The size ofthe run opening
is dependent on the manufacturer's
specification.
6.2 Buttwelding Buttwelding end finishes
shall comply with the standard welding bevel
and root face ofASME BI6.25.
6.3 Threads Threads
shall comply with
requirements for NPT.
in threaded fittings
ASME B1.20.1
6.3.1 The minimum wall thickness at the
root ofthe thread at the hand tight plane shall
be equal to or greater than the nominal wall
of the pipe schedule for the appropriate

Design ProofTest
SP-97
BI. ProofTest AdminisJ':I'Iion Alternately, the test is considered successful if the
assembly withstands, without rupture, a test
pressure of 105 percent (105%) of the computed
test pressure defined above.
B1.1 Proof tests shall be made as set forth
herein as evidence of the adequacy of branch
connections employing these outlet fittings.
B2. ProofTest Procedure
B2.l Fittings selected for testing shall be
representative of production fittings, shall be
identified as to material, grade, and class, and shall
be inspected for compliance with this Standard
Practice.
B2.2 Run and branch pipe sections, assembled
with a fitting for test, shall be of equivalent
material to the fitting and shall have nominal wall
thicknesses corresponding to the fitting in
accordance with Table 1, and shall meet all
requirements ofthe pipe specification.
B2.3 The test bnmch outlet fitting shall be welded
to the run pipe. The diameter ofthe bnmch opening
in the run pipe shall not be less than the inside
diameter ofthe bnmch pipe. The length of run pipe
on either side of the weld intersection shall be at
least twice the pipe outside diameter or a suitable
length to ensure the reinforcing effect of the weld
does not affect the proof test The bnmch outlet
pipe extension shall have a length at least twice its
diameter. The run pipe shall have a bursting
strength at least as great as the computed prooftest
pressure as calculated in Section B2.4.
B2.4 Hydrostatic pressute shall be applied to the
assembly. The acrua1 test pressure prior to rupNre
must be at least equal to the computed proof test
pressure defined below:
P=2St
D
where:
P - ProofTest Pressure (PSig)
S - The acrua1 tensile strength of the run pipe to
be used, psi, (determined on a specimen
representative ofthe pipe)
- Nominal run pipe wall thickness, inches
D - Specified outside diameter of the run pipe,
inches
.. ..,.....'.-..., ,'-.
16
B3. It is not necessary to conduct an individual test
offittings in all combinations ofsizes, wall thickness,
and pressute class. A successful proof test on one
prototype fitting may represent other similarly
proportioned fittings to the extent described herein.
B3.l A successful test on a full size fitting may be
used to quality other full sized fittings no smaller
than one-half nor larger than two-times the size of
the test fitting.
B3.2 A successful test on a reducing fitting
qualifies:
B3.2.l All similar fittings of the same bnmch
pipe size which fit larger run pipes than the test
fitting.
B3.2.2 All similar fittings with a bnmch pipe size
no smaller than one-half nor larger than two times
the test fitting provided the run pipe to branch
pipe size ratio is equal to or greater than the test
fitting.
B3.3 The untested fitting must have a bnmch pipe
tID ratio, not less than one-half, nor more than
three times the test fitting.
B3.4 The pre5Sute retaining capacity of a fitting
made of various grades of material with similar
mechanical properties will be essentially directly
proportional to the tensile properties of the various
grades. Hence it is necessary to test a prototype in
only a single grade to prove the geometric design
offittings.
The manufacNrer shall be able to demonstrate that
fittings prodllCed from materials with significantly
different mechanical properties (i.e., carbon vs.
stainless steel) are considered essentially
proportional to the tested grade, or additional
testing may be required.
B3.5 Proof tests which have been conducted prior
to the issuance of this Standard Practice, and that
are equivalent to the above requirements, shall be
considered as fulfilling the requirements of this
Standard Practice provided they are adequately
documented.
