December 7, 2021

Technical Drawing & Function

Drawing of SW couplet

The drawing of ASME B16.11 socket welding (SW) couplet. B: socket bore diameter; C: socket wall thickness; D: bore diameter of SW couplet; J: socket depth; G: outside diameter of  couplet; Q: weld ring length; M: end to end couplet; N: weld ring diameter.

Drawing of THD couplet

The drawing of ASME B16.11 forged couplet with threaded ends. B: minimum length of perfect thread; L2: effective length of external thread; E: outside diameter of couplet; M: end-to-end coupling; N: weld ring diameter; Q: weld ring length.

The ASME B16.11 couplet is primarily used to connect two pipes. It resembles a welding boss except that a straight length (Q) of weld ring is furnished. One end of the couplet is furnished with socket welding (SW) or threaded connection; the other end is furnished with a bevelled transition to a straight length of welding ring, which will be joined to the pipe by welding. Available pressure ratings: SW – Class 3000, 6000, 9000; Threaded – Class 3000, 6000.
