Instrument NPT Tube Fittings Pressure-Temperature Rating

[aidini]

As you know, there are Pressure-Temperature rating tables for flange connections (300,600,900,etc). Do you know if there are any tables for Instrument NPT connection classes?
The only technical data I could find was a curve in "Trouvay & Cauvn" Piping Equipment Book Chapter 4 (Forged Steel Fittings) which covers NPT 3000 and NPT 6000 classes of Carbon Steel F304 and F316 grades.

You might check out Instrumentation Tubing and their Connections by Nirbhay Gupta, document #12725993 on scribd.com (you have to register and upload a document to download a document). 127 pages on tubing and fittings. Page 23 covers design and relevant codes.

Thank you Carl.
But there was no data regarding the pressure ratings. It just refers to ASME Section III‐Division‐I sub‐section NB.

Any idea?

Hey Aidini,

I'm having the same issue, but my thread didn't get any reply yet. If it can help you: there's a small table in ASME B31.1-2007 Power Piping p38 that mentions pressures for threaded joints to 3" (material independent).
Let me know if you find more extensive information on this.

Swagelok publishes the pressure ratings of its tube fittings on page 9 of
Gaugeable Tube Fittings and Adapter Fittings,

A derating pressure-temperature table for tubing is on page 3 of the Swagelok Stainless Steel Seamless Tubing: Fractional, Metric, and Imperial Sizes manual

Carl,
Thank you.

In those links you mentioned, the permissible pressure has been stated.
The table I have been unable to find is what you can find class 3000, 6000, 9000 pressure-temperature table for different fitting materials.
