High Pressure Fitting Design

High Pressure Fitting Design

(OP)
I am designing a custom elbow that will see 1700 psi. For design reasons, it is impractical to use off-the-shelf items. Can someone guide me to a set of standards regarding wall thickness, mat'l type, and NPT threads designations that would be appropriate? The connections will be around 1/4"npt and the material could be plain steel.

Thanks

Noel
