ASTM F1201-88(2010)

Standard Specification for Fluid Conditioner Fittings in Piping Applications Above 0&#176F

ABSTRACT
This specification provides the minimum requirements for pressure-retaining components of fluid conditioner fittings. It addresses the pressure-retaining component design, fabrication, rating, marking, and testing. Classification: Class I-fluid conditioner fitting meeting the requirements specified, and Class II - all other fluid conditioner fittings. All fluid conditioner fittings shall be pressure tested to meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification provides the minimum requirements for pressure-retaining components of fluid conditioner fittings. It addresses the pressure-retaining component design, fabrication, rating, marking, and testing.
1.2 This specification is not intended to override any of the present fluid conditioner fitting specifications specific to devices such as strainers, filters, and traps but should be used for devices for which a specific specification does not apply.
1.3 This specification provides sufficient requirements to allow a fluid conditioner fitting to be used in the marine environment.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 7, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
