LATERAL TEE 45 degrees - 6"x6" SCH80 (WPB)
LATERAL TEE 45 degrees - 6"x6" SCH80 (WPB)
(OP)
Somebody can help me where can I find this butt-welding fitting in the market Europe/US (LATERAL TEE 45 degrees - 6"x6" SCH80 (WPB))?
And what are the Standard Codes that governs this special fitting?
Is there any problem in place of it use a Latrolet 6"x6" (XS) - SA105 Material?

1. Do you know if there is any possibility to replace the item above Lateral 45 degrees by a Latrolet for 45 degrees lateral branch connections 6" x 6" SCH XS - Butt Weld - Material SA105.
2. What is the code of design and construction that governs the item above Lateral 45 degrees?

Who will be responsible for the pressure design or qualification of these non-standard XS fittings ? In all piping codes either the fittings are dimensionally the same and burst tested (ASME B16.9 methodology) OR..... there is a unique "area replacement" calculation doe for the fitting at the design temperature and pressure.
How do you know that the unique fittings you purchase will meet the design code ???

2. I'm a piping designer, working as a contractor at a "Big Oil" oil refinery. I design to the company's piping specifications. So, I can't help you much when it comes to code details but I would think that you would be looking at pressure piping code ASME B31.X?
Sorry I can't be of more help.
