Dear experts,
Can any body suggest what does rating 3000,6000 and 9000 etc. means as per ASME B 16.11. What should test pressure for items produced in rating 9000.

test at up to 1.5 x rated pressure

Class 2000, 3000, 6000, 9000 are just designations.
Read section 2 and see, especially, table 2. Then go back into the dimensional tables and look at dimension "G". Those numbers should be familiar.

Sorry for any confusion.

Even I'm a young engineer, I've seen many mistakes and misunderstandings relating to class designations of fittings, valves, etc. As an example, few days ago I had a discussion with another engineer because he said: "valves don't have class, so doesn´t matter if we change a valve from class 150 to 300, it only applies to flanges"... After a while and many books and ASME standars open over the table, he finally understood that valves have class like fittings and flanges.
