Technical Drawing & Pressure Ratings

Drawing of SW coupling

The drawing of ASME B16.11 forged coupling with two socket welding (SW) ends. B: socket bore diameter; C: socket wall thickness; D: bore diameter of SW coupling; J: socket depth; E: laying length of SW coupling.

Drawing of THD coupling

The drawing of ASME B16.11 forged coupling with two threaded ends. B: minimum length of perfect thread; L2: effective length of external thread; D: outside diameter; W: end to end length of threaded coupling.

ASME B16.11 forged coupling, also known as full coupling, is a length of small-bore sleeve with reinforced wall thickness to connect two pipes. The coupling may be furnished with two internally threaded (THD) ends, two socket welding (SW) ends, or a combination of SW and threaded ends. ASME B16.11 SW couplings are available in pressure rating Class 3000, 6000, and 9000; ASME B16.11 threaded couplings are available in pressure rating Class 3000 and 6000.
