Printed in US.A.Mss STANDARD PRACTICE SP-44 FOREWORD ‘The Manufacturers Standardization Society originally developed the Standard Practice in response to the continued requests for steel pipe flanges for pipeline use, particularly in sizes larger than those covered by ANSI Standard 816.5 on ‘Steel Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings. The line pipe is uniquely characterized by high-strength, cold worked, thin-wall of ‘the carbon steel grade, which necessitates special considerations for the welding end of the flanges. ‘The size and pressure class range wat originally NPS 26 through NPS 36 in pressure classes customarily designated in ‘ANSI Standard B16.5 as 300, 400, 600, and 900 Ib. The 1970 edition deleted the slip-on flanges for lack of demand, and ‘added a 150 Ib, class and coverage for sizes NPS 12 through NPS 24. Additional coverage was also necessitated by the advent Of the use of line pipe of grades having minimum specified yield strength higher than the 62.000 psi maximum contemplated. at the time of initial development, and therefore still thinner walls. itferential between the tensile properties of the flange steel versus that of the mating pipe steel. This, in turn necessitated greater flexibility in the selection of hub dimensions, so that various combi tions of material-strength and flange-dimentions could be utilized to supply the flanges. Section 5 on Flange Design was intro- duced at this point, and is one of the key features of this standard, The 1972 edition included the coverage of blind flanges in all pressure classes and clarification of text requirements for better understanding and usage under the more diverte conditions. In some instances, this advent widened the i ‘The 1975 edition expanded the size range above size NPS 36. The drilling templates for the Class 150 flanges of the NPS 38 and larger sizes continued: the previous philosophy of adopting the drilling template of the Class 125 of ANSI Standard B16.1. However, the drilling templates of the Class 300 flanges of the NPS 38 and larger sizes did not continue the adoption of the Class 250 of ANSI Standard 816.1 drilling templates, nor did the NPS 38 and larger sizes of Classas 400, {600, and 900 continue the extrapolation of ANS! 816.5 drilling templates; instead, these drilling templates were necessarily designed more compactly because of the increased loads. While these flanges are designated by the customary ANSI Standard ‘Class 160, 300, 400, 600, and 900, their use is almost entirely confined to cross country transmission pipelines at atmos ppheric temperatures, The flanges have been designed primarily for use at their cold ratings which conform to the ANS! Standard 816.5 ratings of 100F, and are intended primarily for attachment to relatively thin-wall, high-strength cold worked pipe, and high-strength buttwelding fittings in pipeline service at temperatures of 450F and lower. Howaver, flanges forged of other materials are capable of pressure temperature ratings as specified in Paragraph 2.2. ‘The 1980 edition was ereated to bring the document into closer editorial alignment with ANS! B16.5. However, out of recognition of the successful experience of the pipeline industry, room temperature ratings were extended to 250F. De-ating above 250F was accelerated such that the 450F ratings are the same as B16.5. Users are cautioned that when these flanges bolted to valves and used at temperatures between TOOF and 450F, the rating of the valve will not be ax high as the flange, ‘The 1990 revision of this SP was required to update the reference standards list and delete the metric equivalents, ‘The 1991 revision of this SP was required to add blind flange machining guidance, flat face requirements and precau tionary notes as well as update of referenced standards.‘MSS STANDARD PRACTICE SP-44 CONTENTS: FOREWORD CONTENTS SCOPE... — F PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS.

SCOPE 1 General — This standard covers pressure- temperature ratings, materials, dimensions, toler- ances (by reference to ASME/ANSI BI6.5), ‘marking and testing. The welding neck type flanges shall be forged stecl, and the blind flanges may be made of either forged stee! or from steel plates. 1.1.1 Dimensional requirements for sizes NPS 10 and smaller are provided by reference to ASME/ ANSI BI6.5. When such flanges meet all other stipulations of this standard, they shall be con- sidered as complying therewith. 1.2 References 1.2.1 Referenced _St specifications adopted by reference in this standard are shown in Annex C, for convenience of identi- {ying edition number, date and source of supply. A flange made in conformance with a prior edi- tion of referenced standards and in all other respects conforming to this standard will be con- sidered to be in conformance even though the edi- tion reference may be changed in a subsequent revi- sion of this standard. 1.2.2 Codes and Regulations — A flange used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ANSI Code for Pressure Piping, or Governmental Regulations, is subject, to any limitation of that code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation for a material, or rule governing the use of a material at a low temperature. 2, PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS 2.1 General Flanges covered by this standard shall be designated as one of the following: Class 150, 300, 400, 600 and 900. Ratings in Table 3 are in U.S. customary units. 2.2 Rating for Other Materials and Temperatures above 450 F — NPS 26and larger flanges forged of SP-44 steels covered in ASME/ ANSI B16.5 whose bores are no larger than those which may be calculated for pipe complying with parallel ASTM pipe specifica- tions, and which comply with all requirements (ex- ‘cept dimensions) of American National Standard BI6.5 are capable of being utilized at the pressure- temperature ratings given in that standard. MATERIALS 3.1 The steel used in the manufacture of these flanges shall be selected by the manufacturer to meet the following requirements. 3.1.1 The F48 and higher grades of Class 400, 600 and 900 flanges shall be killed steel. 3.1.2 The steel used shall be suitable for field ‘welding to other flanges, fittings, or pipe manufac- tured under ASTM specifications A105, AS3, A106, A381, A694, A707, or API Standard SL. 3.1.3 The steel used shall have a maximum car- ‘bon content of 0.35 and a carbon equivalent com- puted by the following equation: Mn , Cr+ Mo + V CE =C+ 67 3 + that should not exceed 0.50%, based on check analysis. If the carbon equivalent factor exceeds 0.50%, the acceptance of the flanges shall be based ‘on agreement between purchaser and manu- facturer. 3.1.3.1 The choice and use of alloying elements, combined with the elements within the limits prescribed in paragraph 3.1.3 to give the required tensile properties prescribed in paragraphs 3.1.4 shall be made by the flange manufacturer and in- cluded and reported in the ladle analysis to identi- fy the type of steel. 3.1.4 The steel used shall have tensile properties conforming to the requirements prescribed in Table 1 and capable of meeting the flange manufacturer's design conditions as given in Annex A. 3.1.4.1 The test specimens may be taken from the forgings or, at the manufacturers’ option, fromthe billets or forging bar entering into the finished product, provided such test blank has undergone relatively the same forming and the equivalent heat treatment as the finished flange. The dimensions of the test blank must be such as to adequately reflect the heat treatment properties of the hub of the flange. Specimens shall be obtained from the midwall of the thinnest section of the hub of the flange or % in, from the surface of the test blank. ‘The orientation of specimens taken froma flange shall be longitudinal. 3.2 Bolting — Bolting listed in Table 2 shall be used in flanged joints covered by this standard. Bolting of other material may be used if permit ted by the applicable code or governmental regula- tion.

Particular at- tention should be given to gasket selection if a system hydrostatic test will exceed the test pressure specified in 8.2. Such a test involves the risk of ex- cessive flange distortion. 3.3.2 Gasket dimensions for 1/16 inch sheet asbes- tos in Table 4 are based on a contact area equal to approximately twice the bolt root area. Ciass 150 flanged joints should use these exclusively. 3.3.3 Ring joint gasket materials shall conform to ANSI B16.20 with dimensions as given in Table 5 3.3.4 Sheet and ring joint gaskets for sizes NPS 10 and smaller shall conform to ASME/ ANSI BI6.5 dimensions and recommendations. HEAT TREATMENT. 4.1 The F42 and higher grades of flanges of all pressure classes and the class 400 and higher classes of Grade F36 flanges shall be normalized or quen- ched and tempered. 4.2 It is recognized that the cooling rate in a quenching operation may be slower in the thicker ring section of the flange than in the thinner hub section. Hence, the increase in yield strength due to the quenching operation may be less in the ring section than in the hub section. This factor is ac- ‘counted for in the Section on Design in Paragraph 5.3.10). . FLANGE DESIGN fi 5.1 Drilling Templates — Drilling templates are derived as follows: 5.1.1 Class 150 flange drilling templates are the same as ASME/ANSI BI65 and Class 125 of ANSI/ASME BI6.1 5.1.2. Sizes 24 and smaller class 300 flanges have drilling templates which are the same as ASME/ ANSI BI6.5 and Class 250 of ANSI/ ASME B16.. Sizes 24 through 36 inclusive have drilling templates which are interpolations of Class 250 of ANSI/ ‘ASME BI6.1 except the diameter of the bolt holes are only one-eighth inch larger than bolt diameters. Larger sizes are designed in accordance with Appendix II of Division 1 of Section VIII of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. 5.1.3 Size 36 and smaller of Classes 400, 600, and 900 flanges have drilling templates with are ex- trapolations from ASME/ANSI BI6.5. Larger sizes are designed in accordance with Appendix IT of Division I of Section VIII of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.Ne MSS STANDARD PRACTICE 5.2 Flange Ring Design — The outside diameter and flange thickness of sizes NPS 24 and smaller flangesare inaccordance with ASME/ ANSI BI6.5. Larger sizes are designed in accordance with Appen- dix Il of Division | of Section VIII of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and the flange ring shall hhave sufficient pressure capacity for the service based on its strength in the normalized condition. This capacity shall be substantiated by the Rules for Bolted Flange Connections, Paragraphs UA-45 through UA-52 of Division 1 of the ASME Un- fired Pressure Code Section VIIL, with allowable design stresses as given in Annex B of this standard. 5.3 Hub Design 5.3.1. a) Sizes NPS 24 and smaller. When the mechanical (minimum yield strength) properties of all sections of the flanges are equal to or higher than those of the pipe to be matched, the hub dimensions may be the same as those of ASME/ ANSI BI6.S. Larger sizes are designed in accord- ance with Appendix II of Section VIII of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vesse! Code. 5.3.1 b) When the minimum yield strength of the hub portion of any flange or its representative test specimen is less than that specified for the pipe to bbe matched, the minimum thickness of the hub at the welding end shall be such that the product of its thickness times its yield strength (at welding end) shall at least equal the product of the specified nominal wall thickness and minimum specified yield strength of the pipe to be matched. Under these conditions, Sizes NPS 24 and smaller flanges may also have a single taper hub and the outside diameter of the hub at the base may be modified. 5.3.1. ) When the manufacturer employs this op tion, the flange identification should be a combina- tion of the class of material of the flange and of the pipe for which the flange has been designed. See 6.1. 5.3.1 d) When the hub thickness at the welding tend must be greater than the adjoining pipe, the Joint design shall be as shown in any of the three sketches in Figure 1. 5.4 Welding End — The welding end shall be in accordance with Figure 2 for wall thickness (of SP-44 intended mating pipe) of 0.75 in. and less. For thicker walls, refer to Figure 3. 5.5 Blind Flange 5.5.1 a) The outside diameter and thickness of blind flanges shall be as listed in Tables 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Thicknesses listed are based on material having mechanical properties for Grade F36 of Table I. Drilling templates are per Paragraph 5.1 Thinner flanges of higher strength material may bbe furnished in accordance with Annex B rules. 5.5.1 b) Blind flanges need not be faced in the center if, when this center is raised, its diameter is at least 5 in. smaller than the nominal pipe size. ‘When the center part is depressed, its diameter shall not be greater than the gasket ID specified in Table 4 less 2 inches (I.D. - 2 = max. depression OD). 5.6 Dimensional requirements for NPS 10 and smaller shall be in accordance with ASME/ ANSI Bi6.5. 5.7 Flat Face Flanges — This standard permits flat face flanges in all classes, by providing flanges having either the full thickness or the thickness with the rhised- face removed, without reduction of the pressure-temperature ratings subject to the following provisions. 5.7.1 The thickness of a Class 150 or 300 flange from which the raised face has been removed shall be no less than the applicable dimension C of Tables 6 & 7 minus 0.06 in. 5.7.2 The thickness of a flange of Class 400 or higher from which the raised face has been re- moved shall be no less than the applicable C dimension of Tables 8, 9 and 10. 5.1.3. The flange facing shall conform with sec- tion 7.2 for the full width of seating of the gasket. 5.8 Spot Facing — All flanges shall have bearing surfaces for bolting which shall be parallel to the flange face within 1 deg. Any back facing or spot facing required to accomplish parallelism shall not reduce the flange thickness C below theMSS STANDARD PRACTICE sP-44 dimensions given in Tables 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Any spot facing or back facing shall be in accordance with MSS SP.9, 6. MARKING 6.1 Flanges shall be marked in accordance with the rules established in MSS Standard Practice SP-25, Standard Marking System for Valves, tings, Flanges, and Unions. In addition, the let- ters, ““PL” shall precede the grade symbol mark- ing. The grade symbol marked on the Welding Neck Flange shall designate the grade of material in the welding end of the hub. When flanges are produced under the option of Paragraph 5.3.1, the ‘marking will also include the grade of the material of the pipe which the flange will match. For ex- ample, a flange having a grade F42 hub designed to be used with grade X60 pipe would contain the ‘marking PL F42/X60 in addition to the marking specified in MSS SP-25. 6.2 Flanges in sizes NPS 10 and smaller produced to BI6.5 dimensions and complying with all other requirements of this Standard Practice shall be marked in accordance with 6.1. 7. EACINGS 7.1 Flange Facing Finish — The finish of contact faces of pipe flanges shall be judged by visual com- parison with Ra Standards (see ANS! B46.1) and not by instruments having stylus tracers and elec- tronicamplification. The finishes required are given below. Other finishes may be furnished by agree- ment between user and manufacturer. 7.2 Raised Face — Either a serrated-concentric or serrated-spiral finish having from 30 to 55 grooves per inch shall be used. The cutting tool employed shall have an approximate 0.06 in. or larger radius. ‘The resultant surface finish shall have a 125 to 500 microinch roughness. 7.3. Ring Joint — The side wall surface of gasket groove shall not exceed 63 microinch roughness. 8. CODE LIMITATIONS 8.1. A product used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code or of the ANSI Code for Pressure Piping, is subject to any limitation of that code. This includes any maximum. temperature limitation for a material, or a code rule governing the use of a material at a low temperature. 8.2 Flange Testing — Flanges are not required to be hydrostatically tested. Flanged joints may be subjected to system hydrostatic tests at pressures not exceeding 1.5 times the 100 F rating. 9. FLANGE BOLTING DIMENSIONS 9.1. Alloy-steel stud-bolts threaded at both ends or full length, or bolts with hexagonal heads conform- ing to American National Standard heavy dimen- sions (ANSI B18.2.1) may be used and shall have nuts conforming to American National Standard heavy dimensions (ANSI B18.2.2), 9.2 Carbon Steel bolts smaller than % in. shall have square heads or heavy hex heads (ANSI BI8.2.1), and shall have heavy hex nuts (ANSI B18.2.2). Bolts % in. and larger shall have square heads or hex heads (ANSI B18.2.1), and shall have hex nuts or heavy hex nuts (ANSI B18.2.2). 9.3 Threads of carbon steel bolts and stud bolts shall be coarse series, Class 2A (ANSI B1.1), and nuts shall be coarse series, Class 2B, 9.4 All alloy steel bolting shall be threaded in ac- cordance with ANSI B1.1. Norninal diameters 1 in, and smaller shall be of the coarse thread series; nominal diameters 1% in. and larger shall be of the 8 thread series. Bolts, studs and stud-bolts shall have a Class 2A thread, and nuts shall have a class 2B thread. 9.5 Bolting to Cast Iron Flanges — Where Class 150 steel flanges are bolted to Class 125 cast iron flanges or Class 300 steel flanges are bolted to Class 250 cast iron flanges, it is recommended thatMSS: 10. low strength bolting be used. If intermediate or high-strength bolting is used, it is recommended that the mating flanges be flat faced and that full faced gaskets extending to the O.D. of the flange be used.
