Approximate weight of a butt welding cap can be calculated based on its its wall thickness, outside diameter and end to end length. Please note that actual weight of a cap from a particular manufacturer may vary depending on manufacturing process. Dimensional standards like ASME B16.9 do not provide weights of butt welding fittings.
Weight of a Butt Weld Cap as per ASME B16.9 is calculated as per following formula :
Where :
- W = Weight of Cap in Kg.
- OD = Outside diameter of cap (mm)
- E = End to end length of cap (mm)
- T = Wall Thickness (mm)
