steel or special flanges, coated or lined flanges are not covered herein. However, this
specification may be used for such flanges by specifying suitably the additional
requirements if any.

2. GENERAL REQUIREMENT
Flanges dimension, tolerances, chemical composition, physical properties, hardness,
heat treatment, non-destructive testing, hydro testing and other requirements shall

specified in the material requisition.
Deviation from the above, if any, shall be specifically highlighted to the purchase by the
vendor.

3. DESIGN REQUIREMENT
3.1. Flange Dimensions

26 & above size shall conform to ASME B 16.47, series B.
3.1.2. Spectacle blanks (Fig.8) and spacer & blinds dimensions up to 24 size shall conform
to ASME B 16.48 (up to 12 size for 2500 #).
3.1.3. Plate flange of hub type shall conform to AWWA C 207, table D.
3.1.4. Non-standard/ Special flanges shall conform to Taylor Forge catalogue dimensions.
Other non-standard flanges shall be designed by vendor in accordance with ASME
Sec.8 Div.I, appendix 2. In such cases, the dimensional drawing along with calculation
notes shall be submitted for purchasers approval.

3.5. Threading
Screwed flanges shall have internal taper threads conforming to ANSI.B 2.1 or IS-554
(for size 2 to 6) as specified.
3.6. Spot Facing
Spot facing of the flanges shall conform to MSS SP 9.
3.7. Galvanising
Galvanised flanges shall be hot dip galvanised to ASTM A 53 or IS:4736. Electro
deposited coating of zinc is not acceptable. Threads shall be protected and kept free of
galvanising.

4. MATERIAL
Material shall be strictly adhered to as specified in the material requisition. Any
substitution of materials shall require the prior written approval of purchaser.



4.1. Chemical Composition
Carbon steels including normalised grade shall have the Carbon content and Carbon
equivalent (CE) as specified in the relevant code or as mentioned specifically in the
material requisition. However, the carbon content should not be more than 0.14% max.
(for ferrite steel, 0.23% max.) and CE should not be more than 0.40% for flanges
intended for welding.
The Carbon equivalent may be established by using the formula:
CE = C + Mn/6 + (Cr + Mo + V)/5 + (Ni + Cu)/15
Type 321 and type 347 stainless steels shall have carbon content greater than or equal
to 0.04 %
IS:1239 flanges, black or galvanised, shall have minimum percentage of elongation
20%.

4.2. Manufacturing Process
Carbon steel used for fabrication of flanges shall be produced by open hearth, electric
furnace or basic oxygen process. Vendor shall procure forging and other materials from
approved sources only in case of outsourcing. Source of supplies shall be indicated in
vendors offer and prior approval is necessary for any changes later.

4.3. Heat Treatment
All Cr- Mo, 1Cr- Mo flanges shall be normalised and tempered. All austenitic
stainless steel fittings shall be supplied in solution annealed condition. Flanges with
heat treatment shall be stamped with heat number, purchaser / third party inspector
code / symbol etc.

5. SPECIAL TESTS
5.1. Impact Test for low temperature application
CS / LTCS / AS / SS flanges used for low temperature service (below 29
0
C) shall be
impact tested in accordance with the Table 323.2.2 of ASME B 31.3. The impact
testing method and acceptance criteria shall be governed by Para 323.3 of the same
code.

5.2. Inter-granular corrosion (IGC) Test
Inter-granular corrosion (IGC) test shall be conducted for all austenitic SS flanges and
