A raised face of 16 in- is included in thickness of flange minimum and in length through hub.
bThe outside surface of the welding end of the hub shall be straight or tapered at not more than 6 deg.

.
These diameters are identical with the diameters of what was formerly designated as Standard Weight
Pipe of the corresponding sizes.
Standard B16e-1939, American Standard for Steel Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings. The latter also contains dimensions for steel welding neck flanges for pressures up to 2500 psi, and slip-on welding flanges for 150 and 300 psi. Table 9 gives these dimensions for welding-neck and slip-on welding flanges suitable for 150 psi gage pressure.
Socket-welding fittings also are commercially available. These fittings have a machined recess for inserting the pipe which is attached by a fillet weld between the pipe wall and socket end. Use of socket-welding fittings generally is restricted to nominal pipe sizes 3 in. and smaller in

which range commercial fittings'are available. .'This type of fitting has gained rapid acceptance owing to its ease of installation, low cost, and ability to make a pressure tight joint without weakening the pipe as is the case with threading. Dimensions for socket-welding fittings as. offered by most manufacturers of the product are given in Table 10.
VALVES
Valves are made with both threaded and flanged ends for screwed and bolted connections just as are pipe fittings.
The material used for valves of small size is generally brass or bronze for low pressures and forged steel for high pressures, while in the larger

sizes either cast-iron, cast-steel or some of the steel alloys are employed. Practically all iron or steel valves intended for steam or water work are bronze-mounted or trimmed.
. Brass, bronze, and iron valves are generally designed for standard or extra heavy service, the former being used up to 125 lb and the latter up to 250 lb saturated steam working pressure, although most manufacturers Also make valves for medium pressure up to 175 lb steam working pres sure. The more common types are gate valves or straightway valves, globe valves, angle valves, check valves and automatic valves, such as reducing and back-pressure valves.
Gate valves are the most frequently used of all valves since in their open position the resistance to flow is a minimum, but they should not be used where it is desired to throttle the flow; globe valves should be used for this purpose. Gate valves may be secured with either a rising or a non-
