FOREWORD
1. This standard is approved for use by the Naval Sea Systems Command and is available for use by all
Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.
2. This standard establishes the requirement for piping system components on surface ships, in order to
preclude the necessity for including a piping schedule in each Navy Ship Specification. This standard represents
and includes the latest material requirements previously covered in the Ship Specifications. It is the intent to refer to
this standard in section 505 in the Ship Specifications for all new Navy surface ships and the General Specifications
for Overhaul of Surface Ships (GSO) for existing ships.

4.3 Gauge piping. Pressure gauge piping requirements are specified in 803-1385850, except the root valve may
be eliminated when the gauge is located on a gauge board that is mounted on a component and is not more than 3
feet from the root connection of the gauge. The use of siphons and flexible connections as a means for providing
flexibility is not mandatory, provided the configuration of gauge piping is such that the flexibility requirements of
803-1385850 are met and objectionable vibrations are not transmitted to the gauges on the gauge board. When the
gauge/isolation test valve is not mounted on the gauge board, the jam nut and washer shall be removed.
Gauge/isolation valves to 803-6397304 may be used as alternatives to the MIL-V-24578 valves required by
803-1385850.
4.3.1 Root valves. Root connections for instrumentation piping shall be in accordance with the following:
a. Where possible, root connections shall be made into the side of pipe or pressure vessels to minimize
problems due to air binding or accumulation of foreign materials in the gauge lines.
b. Root connections between the outlet and root valve shall be at least ¼ inch nominal pipe size (NPS).
c. Root valves shall be of the same design, material, and rating as valves in the system to which they are
connected, except stellite-faced seats are not required for root valves in steam and drain lines. However, the
hardness for these seats shall be Brinell (BHN) 225 minimum.
d. The overall size and weight of the root valves shall be kept to a minimum.
4.4 Thermometer wells. Thermometer wells shall conform to the requirements of 803-1385917 and
MIL-T-24270 using materials selected which are compatible with the materials specified for the intended service.
Materials other than those specified are acceptable, provided that they are entirely satisfactory in all respects and are
approved by NAVSEA.
4.5 Maximum material temperature. The pressure listed for the service categories contained in this schedule, in
general (although not in all cases), are system operating pressures. Temperatures indicated, with the exception of
Category A – steam systems, are the maximum expected operating temperature. In the case of most cold systems,
ambient temperatures of 150 °F have been used. For maximum allowable stresses for piping materials at various
temperatures, see section 505 of ship specs or GSO.
4.6 Fire protection. The piping systems, including support structures in high fire hazard spaces, shall be
designed to remain operational for a specified temperature, time, and heat flux. The design specification shall
specify the time, temperature, and heat flux for which various piping systems are to remain operational for each
particular region within the ship. High fire hazard spaces are those compartments protected by high-pressure water
mist, heptafluoropropane (HFP), Halon 1301, or CO2 flooding systems.
4.7 Seawater valves. Valves intended for seawater service shall have nickel-copper alloy stems, seats, discs,
disc nuts, hinge pins, and side plugs, as applicable. For valves in sizes 2½ inches and above, discs with a
nickel-copper alloy facing of ⅛-inch minimum thickness are acceptable in lieu of solid nickel-copper alloy.
Nickel-copper-aluminum or nickel-copper-silicon alloy may be used as an alternative to nickel-copper. Bronze
valves for other than seawater service may have bronze stems, seats, discs, disc nuts, hinge pins, and side plugs, as
applicable.
4.8 Valve approvals. For valves (except valves on many mechanical standard drawings), fittings, and flanges,
contractor’s designs previously approved for comparable installations may be substituted for those specified, subject
to justification to and approval by NAVSEA. Extensions of the applicability of previously granted waivers or
approvals for reasons of shipbuilding expediency are not valid.
4.9 Pressure temperature ratings. For ferrous and special alloy components, selection of the pressure series
shall be made in accordance with the pressure temperature ratings of ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.34, as applicable,
unless the series is specifically designated in the applicable category. Butt-welded or socket-welded fittings shall be
of a schedule or thickness compatible with the service conditions.

butt-welds are used in sizes down to and including ½ inch, subject to qualification of the procedure by the activity
doing the welding. Socket-welded end valves, fittings, and flanges for P-1 piping may only be used in sizes up to
and including 2 inches. For welded-end steel valves, fittings, and flanges, the carbon content shall not exceed
0.35 percent.
4.11 Long-radius elbows. The use of long-radius elbows are required to minimize flow turbulence. The use of
short-radius elbows is acceptable where space conditions do not permit long-radius elbows.
4.12 Steel valve seat and disc materials. Steel valves, not covered by military specifications or standard
drawings in steam and feed systems normally operating at gauge pressures of 150 psi and above, shall have seat and
disc seating surfaces hard faced using material in accordance with type MIL-RCoCr-A of MIL-R-17131, or the
equivalent. Steel valves in steam and feed systems below 150 psi at saturation temperatures shall have either hard-
faced operating seat and disc seating surfaces as specified above, or seats and discs hardened by heat treatment.
Special normally open valves not used for throttling, such as solenoid trips, shall have seating surfaces suitable for
the service application.
4.13 Threaded joints. Straight threaded connections with seals are permitted in all systems where unions or
union-ended components are listed, subject to any notes pertaining to unions. Open-ended piping with threaded or
union connections shall be secured to prevent accidental rotation of the threaded joints. Tapered pipe threads may be
used only in the following areas:
a. Connections to commercial equipment, such as washing machines and drinking water coolers, which are
not essential to the ship under combat conditions and where failure would not create a hazard to personnel or the
surrounding area, or affect the operation of other vital equipment.
b. Pipe plugs of a material compatible with the parent equipment material in sizes ¾ inch and below used for
applications where gauge pressures do not exceed 50 psi.
c. Instrumentation, controls, vents and filling, and drain connections for applications where gauge pressures
are 50 psi and below where fluids handled are neither toxic or dangerous nor could cause atmospheric contamination
and which would not cause, in the event of failure, a major breakdown of the equipment, create a hazard to the
surrounding area, nor affect the operation of other vital equipment.
d. For equipment where taper pipe threads are specified in RR-C-901, A-A-59860, MIL-V-17360,
ASTM F1347, MIL-H-17902, and MIL-DTL-24788.
e. In unpressurized connections.
f. Quick disconnect couplings for air hose connections and spray heads for washdown countermeasure
systems, magazine sprinkling, and wet sprinkling systems.

Class 2B nuts, or Class 3A fit with Class 3B nuts. The setting end of the studs shall be Class 3A in Class 3B holes
locked in place with a thread-locking compound in accordance with ASTM D5363. The procedure for installing
studs with a thread-locking compound shall meet the requirements of SAE-J2270. The use of National Class 5
interference fit threads in accordance with ASME B1.12 shall be limited to the setting end of studs where the design
temperature exceeds that allowed for thread-locking compounds.
f. Nickel-copper (Ni-Cu, UNS N04400) fasteners shall be used where the joints are not readily accessible for
examination or maintenance in-service due to location of the fasteners below floor plates and in tanks or in other
hidden areas where carbon steel, brass, or bronze fasteners are specified or where subject to seawater spray or
submergence. Where nickel-copper fasteners do not meet the strength requirements of the joint, nickel-copper-
aluminum (Ni-Cu-Al, UNS N05500) in accordance with MIL-DTL-1222, Grade 500 shall be used. If nickel-copper-
aluminum fasteners are used and there are tapped holes as part of the bolted joint, the installing document shall

holes.
g. Nickel-copper-aluminum fasteners shall be in accordance with MIL-DTL-1222.
h. Flanged joint threaded fasteners in pump rooms and at all AFFF Pumping, Reserve and Transfer, and
Distribution Stations shall use either nickel-copper or nickel-copper-aluminum material as appropriate to provide the
required fastener strength. This does not apply to CRES piping systems, or component piping.
i. Hull integrity piping connections are defined as all flanged joints from the hull up to and including the
inboard flange of the hull valve. Included in this category are the bonnet joints of the hull valves and both line
flanges and the bonnet joint of the first valve (such as a blowout valve) in branch lines connected to piping between
the hull valve and the hull connections. Such connections shall be as follows:
(1) All bolted hull integrity piping connections, as defined above, shall be fitted with nickel-copper-
aluminum alloy fasteners in accordance with MIL-DTL-1222 and with self-locking nuts in accordance with
MIL-DTL-32258.
(2) For services involving integrity of the hull against the sea, as defined in item i above, energy
absorption shall be provided by making the mounting fasteners essentially constant strength throughout their length.
Uniform strength in bolt-studs can be achieved by:
(i) Using continuously threaded bolt-studs (the preferred method with those having roll-formed
threads being stronger than those with cut threads).
(ii) Using bolt-studs with roll-formed threads whose unthreaded shank diameter is equal to the
pitch diameter.
(iii) Reducing the unthreaded shank diameter of bolt studs to the minor diameter when cut threads
are used.
(3) Bonnet joints for the hull valves are not required to be designed for energy absorption, unless the valve
bonnet joints receive essentially the same loading from hydraulic shock as the outboard flanged joint or use the same
size fasteners as the flanged joint.
j. Where individual categories specify both non-ferrous and ferrous fasteners, the ferrous fasteners may be
used on steel and stainless steel bolted joints unless non-ferrous fasteners are required for considerations discussed
above.

NOTES (continued):
G-1-2 Unless otherwise permitted by applicable specifications, the design pressure for determining the wall thickness of the pipe and the selection of fittings shall be
the sum of the operating pressure and the hydraulic surge pressure. The hydraulic surge pressure shall include such factors as rapid valve opening and closing,
overhauling loads, suddenly applied loads, and relief valve response time. The hydraulic surge pressure requirement may be relaxed if it can be definitely
ascertained that the maximum fluid velocity for a particular size pipe will be lower than 30 feet per second (ft/s), in such cases the maximum velocity
determined to be present for the pipe size in question shall be used as a basis for determining the hydraulic surge pressure and maximum total pressure to be
used in calculating pipe wall thickness. Hydraulic surge pressure is to be determined by the following formula:
s = 70V
Where:
Ps = Pressure increase due to shock psig
V = Velocity of liquid flow in the pipe before valve closure (feet per second) use V = 30 ft/s

INDEX
Since operating conditions may vary among different designs of ships, this index often refers to a category of
materials only for each system. Within each category, selection should be made of that group which can
accommodate the specific operating conditions of pressure and temperature for the system under consideration.
(Example: Where the category only is specified such as “A”, the proper group, that is A-1, A-2, and so forth, shall
be selected according to the operating conditions.)
