tions in weights are known as (1) low-pressure fittings for steam working pressures of 25 lb (cast-iron flanged only, sizes 4 in. and larger), (2) standard fittings for saturated steam working pressures of 125 lb, and (3) extra heavy fittings for saturated steam working pressures of 250 lb. These last fittings are suitable for cold water working pressures of 350 lb and are usually tested to twice the steam working pressure, or 500 lb cold hydrostatic.
Screwed fittings include: nipples or short pieces of pipe of varying

From Piping Handbook, by Walker and Crocker. This table gives the expansion from -- 20 F to the temperature in question. To obtain the amount of expansion between any two temperatures take the difference between the figures in the table for those temperatures. For example, if a steel pipe is installed at a temperature of 60 F and is to operate at 300 F, the expansion would be 2.519 -- 0.593 = 1.926 in.
lengths; couplings, usually of wrought iron only; elbows for turning angles of either 45 deg or 90 deg; return bends, which may be of either the close or open pattern, and may be cast with either a back or side outlet; tees; crosses; laterals or Y branches; and a variety of plugs, bushings,_caps, lock-nuts, flanges and reducing fittings. Reducing fittings as well as bushings, both of which are used in changing from one pipe size to another, may have the smaller connection tapped eccentrically to permit free drain age of the water -of condensation in steam lines or free escape of air in water lines.
