RE: [MW:13023] which is better BW OR BE?

 

 

You are talking about 2 different things.  BE is not the same as BW.  Please let me explain:

 

You should specify BE if you are referring to a specific pipe end or fitting. 

 

BE=bevelled end.  PE=plain end.  TE=threaded end. 

 

If you order an NPS 1 nipple PE/BE, you will receive a nipple that is bevelled one end and the other end is plain. 

 

If drafting an Isometric for example, if you are referring to a joint, then use BW (Butt-weld), SW (Socket-weld), but on the material list, the items will be called out as to their end preparation (BE, PE, TE).

 

Be aware that end preparation differs for Socket-welded joints compared with Butt-welded joints, check your line requirements as per your Engineering department/Customer Specifications. 

 

Warm regards,

 

Darcy Morin
