Butt-weld caps (ASME B16.9), NPS 1/2 to 12: overall length E and E1 by wall thickness — dimension sheet Source: Xem Studio, https://xemstudio.com/objects/butt-weld-caps/ (sheet CC BY 4.0) Basis: Length E / E1 (mm) and the wall that separates them from Wermac's ASME B16.9 cap table; Schedule 40 and 80 heights H (in) and walls T from Texas Flange; numbers only Catalog version: 2026-10-20 Sizes: see table below - B16.9 gives each cap size two lengths: E for walls up to a limit and E1 for thicker walls. Wermac prints both and the limiting wall (column 'wall limit'): E applies when the fitting wall is not more than the limit, E1 when it is more. Texas Flange's per-schedule heights H (weld face to the top of the dome) agree with this rule: for NPS 10 Sch 40 (wall 0.365 in, under the 12.7 mm limit) H = 5.00 in = E 127 mm; for NPS 10 Sch 80 (wall 0.594 in, over the limit) H = 6.00 in = E1 152 mm. Sch 80 at NPS 2 (wall 0.218 in = 5.54 mm, under the 5.59 mm limit) is still the short E (1.50 in = 38 mm). One boundary case disagrees: NPS 6 Sch 80 has a 0.432 in (10.97 mm) wall, 0.05 mm over Wermac's 10.92 mm limit, so the rule gives E1 = 102 mm while Texas Flange prints H = 3.50 in (89 mm, the short E); both are shown and neither is resolved here. - Wermac lists the limit as 12.70 mm from NPS 8 up through NPS 24; above NPS 24 it prints no E1 (by agreement between maker and buyer), and this page stops at NPS 12. - Where inch and mm disagree it is rounding: Texas Flange's 1.50 in at NPS 1 is Wermac's 38 mm (1.496 in). - No file: E, OD and wall define the length, the weld end and the wall, but not the crown. Where the straight part ends and the dome (and its knuckle radius) begin is not given as numbers in any source read, so a drawn dome would be an invention. McMaster-Carr sells butt-weld end caps with per-part STEP; its category is linked, not copied. - OD: Wermac prints mm (21.3 ... 323.8), Texas Flange inches as printed (0.84 ... 12.75); both are rounded figures.
