RE: socket weld fittings (fitting allowance)

Refer ASME B16.11 Table 4.

RE: socket weld fittings (fitting allowance)

ASME B31.1 also has information about the proper fit-up for socket welded joints.

The general idea is to leave ~1/16" inch gap at the bottom of the joint to allow for weld shrinkage.
