Dimension of cut grooved end

Cut groove is to machine away material from outer surface of pipe, fitting and valves, so to get the specific groove. It can keep the integrity of the inner surface without raised part.
It is suitable for steel pipe with heavy thickness, such as SCH80. Besides, it is also commonly used for fire protection valves, and grooved pipe fittings over 6″ (DN150).

Note:
1. Pipe OD: The outside diameter of cut grooved pipe.
2. Min wall thickness (T): This is the minimum allowable pipe wall thickness which could be cut grooved.
3. Gasket seat (A): It is measured from the pipe end to groove, for gasket seating.
4. Groove width (B): It shall be free of scale, dirt, chips, and rust that may interfere with proper coupling assembly.
5. Groove diameter (C): It shall be uniform groove diameter for the entire pipe circumference.
6. Groove depth (D): It is measured from pipe outer surface to groove outer surface.
