B16.10: Face to Face and End to End Dimensions of Valves
This Standard covers face-to-face and end-to-end dimensions
of straightway Valves, and center-to-face and center-to-end
dimensions of angle Valves.
Its purpose is to assure installation interchangeability for
Valves of a given material, type size, rating class, and end
connection.
B16.11: Forged fittings, Socket-Welding and Threaded
This Standard covers ratings, dimensions, dimensional
tolerances, marking and material requirements for socket-
welding and threaded forged fittings.
These fittings are designated as Class 2000, 3000, and 6000
for threaded end fittings and Class 3000, 6000, and 9000 for
socket-weld end fittings.
B16.20: Metallic gaskets for pipe flanges: Ring-Joint,
Spiral-wound, and Jacketed
This Standard covers materials, dimensions, dimensional
tolerances, and markings for metal ring-joint gaskets, spiral-
wound gaskets, and metal-jacketed gaskets.
These gaskets are dimensionally suitable for use with flanges
described in reference flange standards ASME B16.5, ASME
B16.47, API Specification 6A, and ISO 10423.
This Standard covers spiral-wound metal gaskets and metal-
jacketed gaskets for use with raised-face and flat-face flanges.
B16.21: Nonmetallic Flat gaskets for pipe flanges
This Standard covers types, sizes, materials, dimensions,
dimensional tolerances, and markings for nonmetallic flat
gaskets. These gaskets are dimensionally suitable for use with
flanges described in the referenced flange standards.
B16.25: Buttwelding Ends
This Standard covers the preparation of buttwelding ends of
piping components to be joined into a piping system by
welding. It includes requirements for welding bevels, for
external and internal shaping of heavy-wall components, and
for preparation of internal ends (including dimensions and
dimensional tolerances). Coverage includes preparation for
joints with the following: no backing rings; split or
noncontinuous backing rings; solid or continuous backing
rings; consumable insert rings; gas tungsten arc welding
(GTAW) of the root pass.

B36.10M: Welded and Seamless wrought steel pipe
This standard covers the standardization of dimensions of
welded and seamless wrought steel pipe for high or low
temperatures and pressures. The word pipe is used as
distinguished from tube to apply to tubular products of
dimensions commonly used for pipeline and piping systems.
Pipe NPS 12 (DN 300) and smaller have outside diameters
numerically larger than corresponding sizes. In contrast, the
outside diameters of tubes are numerically identical to the size
number for all sizes.

B36.19M: Stainless Steel pipe

This Standard covers the standardization of dimensions of
welded and seamless wrought stainless steel pipe. The word
pipe is used as distinguished from tube to apply to tubular
products of dimensions commonly used for pipeline and
piping systems. Pipe dimensions of sizes 12 and smaller have
outside diameters numerically larger than the corresponding
size. In contrast, the outside diameters of tubes are
numerically identical to the size number for all sizes. The wall
thicknesses for sizes 14 through 22 inclusive of Schedule 10S,
for size 12 schedule 40S, and for sizes 10 and 12 of schedule
80S are not the same as those of ANSI/ASME B36.10. The
suffix "S" in the Schedule Number is used to differentiate
B36.19M pipe from B36.10M pipe. ANSI/ASME B36.10
includes other pipe thicknesses which are also commercially
available with stainless steel material.
