Viki,
One thing that jumps out at me right away is the pressure classes they apply to:
CAMERON T31 Fully Welded Body Ball Valves
satisfy ASME 150 through 2500
CAMERON T32 Fully Welded Body Ball Valves
satisfy ASME 150 through 900

Assuming we're talking about the same thing, which are fittings installed with a simple press system, I thought press fittings were only intended for plumbing and HVAC. Again, if we're talking about the same type of fitting, why would anyone use these in a critical application like chemical...
nietrino,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you've already done the heavy lifting here. Since you need to both withstand the pressure AND the weight, the wall thicknesses requirements are additive. So, taking the pressure design thickness (0.0418) + minimum wall thickness required for...
