PIPE FITTINGS
Specification
Pipe Threads
The machined threads of Crane fittings are supplied
to conform with the gauging requirements of
BS EN 10226-2 and BS 21. Threads on all fittings are
chamfered to assist assembly and avoid cross
threading. Female fittings have a chamber behind the
thread, permitting the male thread to be assembled
without restriction or bottoming.
Design Standards
ISO 49:1994 is the international standard for Malleable
cast iron fittings threaded to ISO 7-1. This standard was
revised in December 1994 and, compared with the 1983
edition, contained some technical revisions relating to
use of alternative ferrous materials, hot dip zinc coatings,
dispatch condition, pressure/temperature ratings,
acceptance tests, marking and quality assurance.
BS EN 10242:1995 is the new British European Standard
for Threaded pipe fittings in malleable cast iron first
published in August 1995 and very closely follows
ISO 49:1994, the main difference being the inclusion
of two informative annexes relating to Assessment of
conformity and the Relationship with the essential
requirements of the Construction Products Directive
(84/106/EEC).
All European Standards have to be adopted by the
member countries of the EU and any conflicting national
standards withdrawn. BS 143 and 1256:2000 has been
retained to cover those fittings not in BS EN 10242.
It should also be noted that BS EN 10242 details a
number of fitting types and sizes which were not
included in BS 143 & 1256 because they were not in
regular demand and/or not available from UK
manufacturers. BS 143 & 1256:2000 specifies
requirements for the design and performance of
Malleable cast iron and cast copper alloy threaded pipe
fittings and has developed over many years. BS 143
was first published in 1922 and BS 1256 in 1945,
subsequently the two standards were combined in 1968.
The BS 143 design requires fittings to have taper external
threads and taper internal threads conforming to BS EN
10226 whereas the BS 1256 design has taper external
threads and parallel internal threads. The 1986 revision
was more closely related to ISO 49:1983 and more
accurately reflected the ranges of fittings available from
UK manufacturers. BS 143 & 1256 has always been
technically more demanding than ISO 49 and
consequently BS EN 10242.
BS 143 & 1256 were amended in August 1995 to delete

those fittings now covered by BS EN 10242, so the
scope of BS 143 & 1256 is now essentially:
(a) BS 143 design and BS 1256 design fittings in
malleable iron not covered by BS EN 10242,
(b) BS 143 design fittings threaded to ANSI B1.20.1
(NPT) and
(c) BS 143 design fittings made in cast copper alloy
(bronze) material.
Conformance of Crane Fittings

Both malleable iron and steel fittings have been verified
by the British Standards Institute (BSI) as conforming to
BS EN 10242 and BS 143 & 1256, as appropriate, and as
such are permitted to bear the British Standards
Kitemark Logo - Kitemark Licence No. KM00382.
Some small size fittings are manufactured in steel and
will conform to BS EN 10241.
Crane malleable iron fittings also have the approval of the
Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) for use in
sprinkler systems.
The Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC

(PED)
The Directive applies to the design, manufacture and
conformity of pressure equipment and assemblies of
pressure equipment with a maximum allowable
pressure greater than 0.5 bar. Individual piping
components, such as fittings, are excluded from the
scope of the Directive and therefore cannot be CE
marked. However, Crane pipe fittings are manufactured
to the appropriate European standards and satisfy the
essential safety requirements of the PED.
A Certificate of Incorporation for Pipe Fittings can be
accessed on the Crane website, or will be provided on
request from Crane.

Pipe Fittings
Much unnecessary labour and creation of random

lengths of pipe might be saved by the application of
a few simple figures by the engineer when erecting the
pipe line. Generally the pipeline, section by section,
is either accommodated within fixed limits, usually the
lines of building construction, or is fixed by prescribed
dimensions. Except in the case of a continuous run of
piping connected either by sockets or flanges, the
engineer needs to know the length of pipe required to
make up between fixed positions of fittings prior to
cutting and threading.

Designation of Fitting Size
The designation of fitting size for the fittings shown in this
catalogue is as follows:
Typical properties of Crane malleable iron are given in the

table below, exceeding the requirements in the above
BS EN, ASTM and ISO standards.
EQUAL FITTINGS: Equal fittings where all outlets are the

same size are designated by that one size, irrespective of
the number of outlets.

(a) For fittings having two outlets, the larger outlet is

specified first.
Example: Fig. No. 145 hexagon reducing nipple with
one end threaded size 2 and other end threaded size
1, is designated 2 x 1.
(b) For fittings having more than two outlets, Crane uses
BS EN 10242 method (b) which gives the run as the
first and second sizes of the designation and the
branch as the third size of the designation.
This is in contrast to BS EN 10242 method (a) which
gives the run as the first and third sizes of the
designation and the branch as the second size of the
designation. This method is used in certain
international markets. (Please see the diagrams below
for a visual explanation).

PROPERTIES

12
The close relationship between the physical properties of

test bars and actual castings ensures design integrity
and the preservation of high safety factors. Shock
pressures within pipe systems can be tolerated with
complete safety.
The corrosion resistance of Crane malleable iron is good
when compared with grey cast iron and mild steel for
most general applications including water, gas and
steam.
Crane Bronze
Crane bronze has very good resistance to corrosion by
aggressive waters, steam and other fluids which promote
dezincification in certain copper alloys. It is also suitable
for a wide range of temperatures.
Mild Steel
BS 143 and 1256 allow small size (3/8" and smaller)
straight fittings to be supplied in other ferrous materials
eg. mild steel, as an alternative to malleable cast iron,
providing the mechanical properties are at least
equivalent to the specified grade of malleable iron.
Individual data pages state which Crane fittings are
supplied in mild steel.

Malleable Cast Iron

Crane malleable iron is of the Blackheart type ideally
suited to pipe fitting and manufacture and conforms to
BS EN 1562 Designation EN-GJMB-300-6, ASTM A197
and ISO 5922.
Galvanising
Where additional resistance to corrosion is required,
malleable cast iron fittings can be hot-dip zinc coated
(galvanised) prior to machining. This process involves
coating the fittings with zinc which, in addition to its
natural resistance to corrosion, provides electrochemical
protection where the iron of the fitting is exposed by
damage. Mild steel fittings can be supplied with a
proprietary zinc-based coating.
The coating weight on Crane galvanised fittings
conforms to the requirements of BS EN ISO 1461 1998
and ASTM 153 with a minimum coating of 610 g/m2
(2oz/ft2) equal to a thickness of 86m (0.0034 in).
Average coatings are well in excess of this and exceed
the requirements given in BS EN 10242 and ISO 49.
When ordering galvanised or zinc coated fittings add the
suffix G to the figure number.

Pressure/Temperature Ratings
Testing
BS 143 & 1256:1986 states that fittings are for general

purposes for the transmission of fluids within the
pressure and temperature ranges specified. The ratings
given are uprated from those in the 1968 edition, both for
malleable cast iron and bronze fittings.
Production testing: Meets requirements of BS EN 10242

or BS 143 and 1256 as applicable. Type testing: In
addition to production testing, all pressure containing
fittings are required by BS EN 10242, BS 143 & 1256 and
ISO 49 to be designed to withstand specified design test
pressures and to be type tested accordingly - 100 bar
(1450 lbf/in2) for sizes 4 and smaller malleable iron
fittings, 64 bar (928 lbf/in2) for sizes 5 and 6 malleable
iron and all sizes bronze fittings.
The graph below shows the BS pressure temperature

ratings. Crane malleable iron and bronze fittings are
suitable for use at these new ratings with the exception
of certain unions (see note below), but such use is
dependent on the suitability of the connecting pipe
material, the threaded joint and any thread sealants used.
Due consideration should also be given to any applicable
codes of practice. Pressures stated are maximum nonshock gauge.
2
Tests carried out show that production fittings have

safety margins well in excess of the BS requirement.
Some typical burst tests on Crane fittings illustrate their
capabilities - size 1/2 figure no. 193 bend tested to
550 bar (8000 lbf/in2) without failure; size 1 figure no. 241
flat seat union tested to 248 bar (3600 lbf/in2) without
failure; size 6 figure no. 151 elbow tested to 190 bar
(2750 lbf/in2) without failure.
Finish
All malleable iron fittings are given an oil finish as
protection against rust while in stock or during transit
and after installation prior to plant commissioning.
Finished fittings are free of any polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons.
Marking
*Hot dip zinc coated (galvanised) fittings should not be used below
-10C (14F).
Bronze fittings can be used at temperatures below -20C (-4F).
Refer to Crane for confirmation of suitability.

The Crane SA (Self Aligning Union)

The Crane SA Union is made with double spherical
seats. Pipes which are not in alignment can be
securely connected at any angle up to 6 of arc
from centre line of the union, thus avoiding the
need for offsets. The union provides a pressure
tight joint without the use of gaskets or washers.
