RE: [Piping Design] End Connection Abbreviations

We are a Design and Fabrication Company. Here's our shop fabrication standard that we use for pipe ends (used for cutting and finishing): PE- Plain both ends BE- Beveled both ends GE- Grooved both ends TE- Threaded both ends PE- Plain ends are normally used for random lenghts (to be cut later), butt-welded S/S connection, slip-on-flange attachment, etc. BE- Beveled ends are normally used for butt-welded C/S connection, weld neck C/S flanges, etc. GE- Grooved ends are used for grooved coupling connection, victaulic, gruv-lok, etc. TE- Threaded ends are used for screwed connections Variations/Combinations : PBE- Plain one end and beveled the other PGE- Plain one end and grooved the other PTE- Plain one end and threaded the other BGE- Beveled one end and grooved the other BTE- Beveled one end and threaded the other GTE- Grooved one end and threaded the other Notes : 1.) We do not specify left or right because these are readily traced from the Fabrication Drawings 2.) If pipe ends are different, both shall be specified. 3.) We found this standard simple, natural and easy to remember. Hope this helps our starter members. -----Original Message----From: Aaron Wolfe [mailto:aaronwolfeman@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 03,
