(Specification)Standard Specification for Flexible, Expansion-Type Ball Joints for Marine Applications
Standard Specification for Flexible, Expansion-Type Ball Joints for Marine Applications
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the design, manufacture, and testing of ball joints utilized for accommodating thermal expansion and contraction, or mechanical movement of a pipeline carrying fluid. Ball joints shall be designed to conform to the requirements prescribed. Flex cycle test, thermal cycling test, and hydrostatic test shall be performed to meet the requirements prescribed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the design, manufacture, and testing of ball joints utilized for accommodating thermal expansion and contraction, or mechanical movement of a pipeline carrying fluid. The ball joints are intended for use in systems operating above 0°F (18°C).
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

5.2.1 The maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) and temperature rating for ball joints conforming to this specification
shall be established by at least one of the following methods:
5.2.1.1 Proof test in accordance with the requirements prescribed in paragraph UG-101 of Section VIII, Division 1, of the
ASME Code. If burst type tests as outlined in paragraph UG-101(m) are used, it is not necessary to rupture the component. In this
case, the value of B to be used in determining the MAWP shal
