Acero has 3 warehouses in Wenzhou, Wuxi and Hebei. As one of the piping solution providers, Acero has been committed to providing one-stop solutions for projects in the fields of oil and gas, water, renewable energy and infrastructure. With years’ consistent dedication and innovation, our reliable, cost-effective and environment-friendly solutions have won clients’ wide recognition.
China Stub End manufacturer Acero supplies Stub Ends, Lap Joint Stub Ends in carbon steel, Stainless Steel, alloy steel, etc.

Lap Joint Stub End

Stub end is directly contact with pipes and medium whereas the flanges doesn’t. Therefore, the material grades of stub ends should satisfy the design and service conditions, while flanges can be made of lower grades to save the total cost.

Stub ends are available in three different types, named “Type A”, “Type B” and “Type C”:

The first type (A) is manufactured and machined to match standard lap joint backing flange (the two products have to be used in combination). The mating surfaces have an identical profile to permit a smooth loading of the flare face
Stub ends type B are have to be used with standard slip-on flanges
Type C stub ends can be used either with lap joint or slip-on flanges and are manufactured from pipes

SHORT/LONG PATTERN STUB ENDS (ASA/MSS)

Stub ends are available in two different patterns:

the short pattern, called MSS-A stub ends
the long pattern, called ASA-A stub ends (or ANSI length stub end)

short long stub end - Stub End

Short pattern (MSS) and long pattern stub ends (ASA)

STUB END FINISH

Stub ends can be ordered with different ends finishing:

Beveled Ends
Squared Ends
Flanged Ends
Grooved Ends

GENERAL NOTES:

(a) All dimensions are in millimeters.
(b) See Table 13 for tolerances.
(c) Service conditions and joint construction often dictate stub end length requirements. Therefore, the purchaser must specify long or
short pattern fitting when ordering.

NOTES:

(1) Gasket face finish shall be in accordance with ASME B16.5 for raised face flanges.
(2) The lap thickness T shall not be less than nominal pipe wall thickness. See Table 13 for maximum tolerance.
(3) When short pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 300 and 600, with most sizes in Classes 900 and higher, and
when long pattern stub ends are used with larger flanges in Classes 1500 and 2500, it may be necessary to increase the length of the
stub ends in order to avoid covering the weld with the flange. Such increases in length shall be a matter of agreement between the
manufacturer and purchaser.
(4) When special facings such as tongue and groove, male and female, etc., are employed, additional lap thickness must be provided and
such additional thickness shall be in addition to (not included in) the basic length F.
(5) These dimensions conform to the radius established for lap joint flanges in ASME B16.5.
(6) This dimension conforms to standard machined facings shown in ASME B16.5. The back face of the lap shall be machined to conform
to the surface on which it seats. Where ring joint facings are to be applied, use dimension K as given in ASME B16.5.

MSS SP-43 only covers stainless steel buttweld fittings made for use with Schedule 5S and 10S pipe and Stub Ends suitable for use with Schedule 40S pipe, as defined in ASME B36.19. The dimensions and dimensional tolerances defined in MSS SP-43 are substantially the same as those in ASME B16.9 specifications from NPS 1/2 – NPS 24. Except with regard to the outside diameter at the bevel.
