ASTM A105 Nipple Outlet Branch Fittings MSS SP-97 Shipped to Saudi Client
This shipment for our Saudi client delivers custom nipple outlet branch fittings engineered to a strict drawing package, with layered specifications that align with typical MESC-controlled energy projects across the Gulf region. This ASTM A105 nipple outlet branch fitting is forged carbon steel, rated Class 6000, SCH 160 branch, and sized for run pipe DN40 to DN1200 with DN15 branch connection.
Unlike standard forged branch outlets, this ASTM A105 nipple outlet branch fitting requires a special plain-end outlet form. The machining scope is critical: the outlet cannot be finished as a simple flat plain cut. Our machinists form a recessed groove step at the plain end as defined on the customer drawing, a small detail that many fabricators overlook and which directly affects fit-up during site installation. The base dimensional control follows MSS SP-97, while pipe dimensions reference ASME B36.10M.
Two mandatory MESC specifications govern quality and inspection for this ASTM A105 nipple outlet branch fitting: MESC SPE 76/031:2008 and MESC SPE 76/210:2007. These are widely recognised requirements for Saudi onshore and offshore facilities, covering material traceability, forging controls, surface condition and documentation rules. The fitting is built against DEP STD DRG S-38.090 LV and marked with the assigned cap code BNIP CS01 for full component identification.

ASTM A105 nipple outlet branch fitting MSS SP-97 plain end with groove step for Saudi industrial piping project
All units are certified to ISO 10474 3.1B, so the client receives material test documentation signed and verified by our independent inspection authority. Our QC team verifies forging integrity, groove step geometry, wall thickness and marking before packing. Every batch is cross-checked against the drawing notes, to confirm the plain-end groove step is correctly machined and the end configuration matches the project’s intended connection design.
For Saudi EPC contractors, MESC-compliant branch outlets reduce acceptance friction at third-party inspection gates. Standard MSS SP-97 fittings are common, but projects that add extra MESC clauses and custom machining need a supplier that can follow drawing-specific features rather than just stock catalogue dimensions. This ASTM A105 nipple outlet branch fitting is made to handle high-pressure take-offs, for process, utility and instrument piping branches.
We organise all certificates, dimensional reports and drawing reference records in one package for the Saudi site team. Each fitting is protected to avoid damage to the precision-machined groove step during transit.
If you need MESC-compliant custom branch outlets, including plain-end nipple outlets with special machining features for Saudi or GCC oil and gas projects, share your drawing, schedule and specification clauses with our engineering team. We can quote ASTM A105 and other grades with 3.1B certification.
