Materials & Grades
BCUBE can evaluate Mild Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel and Stainless Steel requirements in grades applicable to the selected fitting specification and service.
Standards & Editions
ASME B16.9 covers factory-made wrought buttwelding fittings and includes dimensions, tolerances, ratings, testing and marking; ASME B16.11 covers forged socket-welding and threaded fittings. The applicable standard must be selected from the actual fitting type and end connection. Branch outlet fittings will also be mapped to the applicable MSS SP-97 requirements where applicable.
The technical database will distinguish current, previous and project-specified editions. A client's approved drawing, purchase specification and project standard remain the controlling requirements.
Manufacturing & Sourcing
BCUBE supports both manufacturing and sourcing. Requirements can be evaluated from size, schedule/wall thickness, material, grade, end connection, drawing, standard and quantity.
Testing, Certification & Inspection
Applicable dimensional, visual, material and pressure-related testing will be described according to the governing product specification. EN 10204:3.1 material certificates and third-party inspection can be supported where required.
Applications
Industrial piping, oil & gas, EPC projects, chemical and petrochemical plants, power plants, water treatment, fabrication, infrastructure and industrial equipment applications, subject to the suitability of the selected product specification.
