Elbolets and MSS SP97?

Elbolets and MSS SP97?

Elbolets and MSS SP97?

(OP)
Hi,

I read in thread378-366796: Branch Reinforcement requirement on elbows that MSS SP-97-2012: "Elbolets are incorporatd in the latest edition of MSS SP-97, which is, as we know, 'part of B31.3s scope' by reference in table 326.1."?

ponder: the only thing I can read in this Standard Practice is, SP-97 fittings are fittings for "run pipe", not for "elbows", don't you agree?
So those fittings are not applicable as a ASME B31.3:2014 listed component when used in elbows, are they?

best regards,

tigny


RE: Elbolets and MSS SP97?

B31.3-2014 by means of fig 328.5.4F shows acceptable use of elbolets. I cant think of a different standard than MSS SP-97 under whcih an elbolet should fall.
