ASTM A860 WPHY 60
(OP)
Hi All,
For a project we are looking at, ASTM A860 WPHY 60 specified as fitting material for a gas transmission line designed to ASME B31.8. Pipe material is API 5L X60. Whilst I know use of ASTM A860 fittings is a common practice. I can not find A860 material listed in Mandatory appendix A or C of ASME B31.8. Does A860 material allowed via another another reference listed in Appendix A or C rather that direct listing of its ASTM reference? Any thoughts how how A860 materials are allowed to use in ASME 31.8 pipelines. Thanks in Advance.

RE: ASTM A860 WPHY 60
Specify your fitting on your requisition as,
Elbow, Tee, Reducer, or whatever fitting you want, with X diameter, w Wall Thickness, HS low Alloy CS, Grade WPHY 60, fabricated to MMS SP-75
no further definition is required.
Independent events are seldomly independent.
