This paper presents the results of a small sample of
ASME B16.9 welding tee burst tests. The intent of this
study was to make a comparison between what is
commonly accepted in industry as a B16.9 welding tee to
the burst test requirements of B16.9 paragraph 9. The
tests conducted show that the current fabrication
techniques and some accepted criteria for B16.9
certification can produce thin sections in the tee which do
not meet the required burst test pressures.
The test descriptions and results are presented as
well as recommendations for future study and potential
modifications to the ASME B16.9
