dose or full thread, shoulder, short, and long. A close nipple is about twice the length of the pipe thread since the threads actually meet. A shoulder nipple has a shoulder between the threads and is further classified as short or long. All shoulder nipples are cut to specific lengths and sold in that manner.
As a general rule, flanged joints are used when it is expected that the line will be disassembled quite often. There are three ways to attach the flange to the pipe; screwed, welded or lapped. Types of contact surface will be discussed.
Tables 8 to 14 give data on various types of ferrous fittings.
Fittings for copper tubing are available in soldered, flared, or compres sion types (see Figure 2). Fittings for copper pipe of IPS dimensions are

available in screwed or soldered types. Table 15 gives size data for screwed fittings and Tables 16 and 17 for solder-type fittings for copper tube and pipe.
The compression type fitting is generally limited to small sizes of tubing, while the flared and soldered types are used in both large and small sizes. An American Standard, ASA 40.2--1936, has been prepared to standardize dimensions of brass fittings for flared copper tubes. Flared tube fittings are widely used in refrigeration work where SAE dimensions and a 45 deg flare render most fittings interchangeable, although for refrigeration use, thread fits and tolerances on thread gages must be maintained within close limits. Brass fittings with SAE dimensions are not interchangeable with the American Standard fittings for water tubes.
FLANGE FACINGS AND GASKETS
There are many types of flange facings. The simplest, and the one most commonly used, is the plain face. This type of face is used with fittings shown in Table 9. Other facings, with varying complexity, are used for
