1 Drilling, OD, Thickness and Facing Dimensions. Flange drilling, 4 BORE or TAPPING:–Reducing Slip-On flanges are bored to the
OD, thickness and facing are the same as those of the standard same diameters as full size flanges of the size to which the reduc-
flange of the size from which the reduction is being made. tion is being made.

2 Hub Dimensions
Threaded and Slip-on Flanges. The hub dimensions shall be at
least as large as those of the standard flange of the size to which
the reduction is being made, except flanges reducing to a size
smaller than those of columns 2, 4 and 6, which may be made
from blind flanges.
5 Raised Faces 1/16 " thick on 150 lb. and 300 lb. reducing flanges are
3 Welding Neck Flanges. The hub dimensions shall be the same as
those of the standard flange of the size to which the reduction is
being made.
Reducing Threaded flanges in the 150 lb. Standard do not
require a counterbore. On 300 lb. and higher Pressure Standards
depth of counterbore is 1/4" for tappings 2" and smaller and 3/8” for
tappings 2 1/2" and larger. Counterbore diameters are the same as
for full size flanges of identical tapping.
included in listed flange thickness dimensions, but 1/4" Raised
Faces on flanges in the 400 lb. and higher Pressure Standards are
not included. Other facings can be furnished.
