Typical applications
- Stainless and alloy lines with carbon steel backing flanges
- Lines dismantled frequently for cleaning
Manufacturing
- Forming: hot or cold flaring of seamless pipe, or machining from forged or rolled rings; lap face machined with a serrated finish.
- Heat treatment: normalising or stress relieving for carbon steel, normalising and tempering for alloy steel, solution annealing for stainless steel.
- Finishing: shot blasting or pickling and passivation, end bevelling to ASME B16.25, and coating with rust preventive (carbon and alloy steel).
Inspection and testing
- Chemical analysis and mechanical tests per heat and heat-treatment lot.
- 100% visual and dimensional inspection against ASME B16.9 tolerances.
- Radiography of weld seams on welded fittings when specified.
- Dye-penetrant or magnetic-particle examination of bevel ends and formed surfaces when specified.
- PMI on stainless and alloy steel; hardness and impact tests when specified.
Marking
Marked to ASME B16.9 / MSS SP-25 by stamping or stencil: manufacturer's mark, size, schedule or wall thickness, material grade and heat number.
Documentation
Mill test certificate to EN 10204 3.1 (3.2 with third-party inspection on request), dimensional inspection report, heat-treatment record where applicable, and NDT reports as specified. IBR certification on request.
Packing
Rust-preventive coating on machined surfaces, plastic end / face protectors, and seaworthy wooden cases or pallets marked with PO line, size, heat number and quantity.

FAQ
Lap Joint Stub End: common questions
What is the difference between long and short pattern stub ends?
Only the length. Long pattern follows ASME B16.9; the shorter MSS SP-43 pattern is common in stainless steel Schedule 5S and 10S.
