FOREWORD

(This Foreword is not part of ASME/ANSI 816.5·1988.)

In 1920, the American Engineering Standards Committee [later the American Standards Association (ASA)] organized Sectional Committee B16 to unify and further develop standards for pipe flanges and fittings (and later for valves and gaskets). Cosponsers of the B16 Committee were the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Heating and Piping Contractors National Association [now Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA)]. and the Manufacturers Standardization Society of the Valve and Fittings Industry (MSS). Cosponsors were later designated as cosecretariat organizations.

The Committee soon recognized the need for standardization of steel pipe flanges. In May 1923, Subcommittee 3 was organized to develop such standards for pressures in the 250 psi to ~200 psi range and for elevated temperatures. Active work began in October, including steel flanged fittings. The first proposed standard was submitted to the Committee in April 1926 and approved by letter ballot in December. After favorable review by the three sponsor organizations, the Standard was approved as American Tentative Standard BI6e in June 1927.

Experience in using the Standard showed the need for hub dimensions of companion flanges and for other changes, including rerating of 250 lb and 1350 I b flanges and development of flanged fittings with integral bases. An investigation was made into the factors determining stiffness of flanges and flange hubs. The revised edition was approved as ASA BI6e-1932.

A revision was initiated in 1936, stimulated by suggestions from Committee members and industrial users. The resulting 1939 edition contained standards for welding neck flanges (completed in March 1937), 1500 Ib flanges in the 14 in. through 24 in. range, 2500 lb flanges and flanged fittings in the Y2 in. through 12 in. range, and dimensions for a full line of ring joint flanges developed by the American Petroleum Institute. Pressure-temperature ratings for alloy steel flanges and fittings, developed by Subcommittee 4, were included for the first time.

In August 1942, the War Production Board requested a review of measures to conserve vital materials in piping components. A special War Committee of B 16 was appointed and, operating under War Standards Procedure, developed revised pressure-temperature ratings for all materials and all pressure classes. The ratings were published as American War Standard B 16e5-l943. In 1945, under normal procedures, Subcommittees 3 and 4 reviewed the 1939 Standard and the 1943 ratings, and recommended adoption of the wartime ratings. Their report was approved as Supplement No.1 to B16e-1939 and published as ASA B16e6- 1949. In addition to ratings, the supplement updated material specification references and added a table of metal wall thicknesses for welding-end valves.

Subcommittee 3 then began a revision of the entire standard. Technically, the 1949 Supplement was absorbed, new materials were recognized, a general rating method was developed and added as an appendix, and welding end preparations were expanded. Editorially, a new style of presentation was worked out, including tables rearranged for easier use. Approval by Sectional Committee, cosponsors, and ASA resulted in publication of ASA BI6.5-1953 (designation changed from BI6e).

iii

Work soon began on further revisions. Class B ratings were deleted and Class A ratings were clarified as the standard. An appendix defined qualifications for gaskets, other than ring joint, which would merit the ratings. Another appendix defined the method for calculating bolt lengths (including measurement of the length of stud bolts between thread ends instead of between points). Pressure-temperature ratings for several new materials were added, the table of welding end dimensions was expanded, and the temperature used in determining ratings was redefined. The resulting new edition, after approval, was published as ASA BI6.5-1957.

The more modest revision approved as ASA B 16.5-1961 changed the text to clarify the intent or to make requirements easier to administer. The next revision began in 1963 with nearly 100 comments and suggestions. No fundamental changes were made, but the text was further clarified and wall thicknesses less than Y4 in. for flanged fittings were recognized in the 1968 edition.

A new joint study of ratings between Subcommittees 3 and 4 was initiated before the next revision. Based on Subcommittee 4's report, the rating procedure was revised and a rating basis for Class 150 (150 lb) flanges was developed. New product forms, bar and plate, were. added for special applications, including fabricated flanged valves and fittings. Reference to welding-end valves was deleted because a separate standard for them was in preparation. Bolt length calculations based on worst case tolerances led to a revision of tabulated lengths. Testing of valve closure members was added to the test requirements. Following final approval on October 23, the Standard was published as ANSI BI6.5-1973.

Subcommittee N was assigned responsibility for all valve standards in late 1973. Subcommittee C (formerly 3) continues to have responsibility for flange standards. A revision was accordingly initiated to remove all references to valves. At the same time, comments from users and changes in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code led to significant revisions in the Class 150 rating basis, and in the ratings of stainless steel and certain alloy steel flanges and tlanged fittings in all rating classes. Extensive public review comments led to addition of considerations for flanged joints, for bolting and gaskets, and of marking requirements. To avoid frequent and confusing changes in ratings as further changes in Code allowable stresses are made, it was agreed with Subcommittee N to leave ratings alone unlessthe relevent Code stress values are changed by more than 10070. After final approval by Standards Committee, cosponsors, and ANSI, ANSI BI6.5-1977 Steel Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings, was published on June 16, 1977.

In 1979, work began on another new edition. Materials coverage was expanded by the addition of nickel and nickel alloys. Bolting rules were revised to cover nickel alloy bolts. Bolt hole and bolting were changed to provide interchangeability between inch and metric di-

mensions. Metric dimensional tables were made informational rather than alternative re- L-.

quirements of the Standard. Final approval was granted for ANSI BI6.5.-1981, Pipe

Flanges and Flanged Fittings on August 14.

In 1982, American National Standards Committee BI6 was reorganized as an ASME Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI. This 1988 edition of the Standard extends nickel alloy ratings to higher temperatures, clarifies flat face flange requirements, updates the referenced standards, and includes other minor revisions. The Committee determined that any metric standard for flanges will stand alone, with metric bolting and gaskets; hence metric equivalents have been deleted. Following approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, approval as American National Standard was given by ANSI on April 7,1988, with the new designation ASME/ANSI BI6.5-1988.

Requests for interpretation or suggestions for revision should be sent to the Secretary, B 16 Committee, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, United Engineering Center, 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017.

ASME/ANSI816.5a-1992

PIPE FLANGES AND FLANGED FITTINGS

1 SCOPE

1.1 General

This Standard covers pressure-temperature ratings, materials, dimensions, tolerances, marking, testing, and methods of designating openings for pipe flanges and flanged fittings in sizes NPS Y2 through NPS 24 and in rating Classes 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500. Flanges and flanged fittings may be cast, forged, or (for blind flanges and certain reducing flanges only) plate materials as listed in Table 1A.

Requirements and recommendations regarding bolting and gaskets are also included.

1.2 References

1.2.1 Referenced Standards. Standards and specifications adopted by reference in this Standard are shown in Annex G, which is part of this Standard. It is not considered practical to identify the specific edition of each standard and specification in the individual references. Instead, the specific edition reference is identified in Annex G. A flange or flanged fitting made in conformance and conforming to this Standard in all other respects will be considered to be in conformance to the Standard, even though the edition reference may be changed in a subsequent addendum to or revision of the Standard.

1.2.2 Codes and Regulations. A flange or flanged fitting used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ASME Code for Pressure Piping, or a governmental regulation is subject to any limitation of that code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation, or rule governing the use of a material at low temperature, or provisions for operation at a pressure exceeding the pressure-temperature ratings in this Standard.

1.3 Applicable Ratings

The pressure-temperature ratings in this Standard are applicable upon its publication to all flanges and

flanged fittings within its scope which otherwise meet its requirements. However, where such components were manufactured, purchased, or installed in accordance with the pressure-temperature ratings of an earlier edition of this Standard, those ratings are applicable except as may be governed by the applicable code or regulation (see para. 1.2.2).

2 PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS

2.1 Ratings Basis

Ratings are maximum allowable nonshock working gage pressures at the temperatures shown in Table 2 for the applicable material and rating. For intermediate temperatures, linear interpolation is permitted. See Annex D, which is part of this Standard, for methods of establishing pressure-temperature ratings.

(a)

2.2 Ratings of Flanged Joints

A flanged joint is composed of three separate and independent, although interrelated components: the flanges, the gasket, and the bolting, which are assembled by yet another influence, the assembler. Proper controls must be exercised in the selection and application for all these elements to attain a joint which has acceptable leak tightness. Special techniques, such as controlled bolt tightening, may be necessary to achieve a tight joint in service.

Ratings in this Standard apply to flanged joints which conform to the limitations on bolting in para. 5.3 and on gaskets in para. 5.4. See also para. 2.4. Use of the ratings for flanged joints not conforming to these limitations is the responsibility of the user. Requirements for alignment and assembly of joints are not given in this Standard.

If the two flanges in a flanged joint do not have the same pressure-temperature ratings, the rating of the joint at any temperature is the lower of the two flange ratings at that temperature.

ASME/ANSI816.5a-1992

2.3 Rating Temperature

The temperature shown for a corresponding pressure rating is the temperature of the pressurecontaining shell of the flange or flanged fitting. In general, this temperature is the same as that of the contained fluid. Use of a pressure.rating corresponding to a temperature other than that of the contained fluid is the responsibility of the user, subject to the requirements of the applicable code or regulation. For any temperature below - 20 of, the rating shall be no greater than the rating shown for - 20 OF.

2.4 Temperature Considerations

Application of the ratings in this Standard to flanged joints at both high and low temperatures shall take into consideration the risk of leakage due to forces and moments developed in the connected piping or equipment. The following provisions ar, intended to minimize these risks.

2.4.1 Flange Attachment. Socket welding and threaded flanges are not recommended for service above 500°F or below s- 50 of if severe thermal gradients or thermal cycling are involved.

2.4.2 High Temperature Service. At temperatures in the creep range, gradual relaxation of flanges, bolts, and gaskets may progressively reduce bolt loads. It may be necessary to arrange for periodic tightening of bolts to prevent leakage. Joints subject to substantial thermal gradients may require the same attention.

When used above 400 of, Class 150 flanged joints may develop leakage unless care is taken to avoid imposing severe external loads and/or severe thermal gradients. For other classes, similar consideration should be given above 750 of.

. 2.4.3 Low Temperature Service. The user should recognize that some of the materials listed in the rating tables undergo sufficient decrease in impact resistance at low temperatures that they cannot safely sustain shock loadings, sudden changes of stress or temperature, or high stress concentrations.

2.5 System Hydrostatic Test

Flanged joints and flanged fittings may be subjected to system hydrostatic tests at a pressure not to exceed 1.5 times the lOO°F rating rounded off to the next higher 25 psi. Testing at any higher pressure is the responsibility of the user, subject to the requirements of the applicable code or regulation.

PIPE FLANGES AND FLANGED FITTINGS

2.6 Welding Neck Flanges

Ratings for welding neck flanges covered by this Standard are based upon their hubs at the welding en, having thickness at least equal to that calculated for pipe having 40.0 ksi specified minimum yield strength. (For higher strength pipe with thinner wall, see MSS SP-44.) The ratings also apply to such flanges used with components of unequal strength and unequal wall thickness when the attachment weld is made in accordance with the applicable code or regulation. See Figs. ] 2, ] 3, and] 4.

2.7 Multiple Material Grades

Materials for flanges and flanged fittings may meet the requirements for more than one grade of an ASTM specification listed in Table l A. In that event, the pressure-temperature ratings for any of these' grades may be used provided that marking is in arcordance with 4.1.2(d).

(a)

3 SIZE

3.1 Nominal Size

The size of a flange or flanged fitting covered by this Standard is its nominal pipe size, NPS. The diameter of a bolt is its nominal size. Use of "nominal" indicates that the stated size or dimension is only for designation, not measurement. The actual dimension may or may not be the nominal size and is subject to established tolerances.

3.2 Reducing Fittings

Reducing fittings shall be designated by the size of the openings in their proper sequence as indicated in ( the sketches of Fig. 2. ~.

3.3 Reducing Flanges

Reducing flanges shall be designated by the two nominal pipe sizes. See examples in Note (4) of Table 7.

4 MARKING

4.1 General

Except as modified herein, flanges and flanged fittings shall be marked as required in MSS SP-25.

4.1.1 Name. The manufacturer's name or trademark shall be applied.

2

PIPE FLANGES AND FLANGED FITTINGS

4.1.2 Material

(a) Cast flanges and flanged fittings shall be marked with the ASTM specification, grade identification symbol, and the melt number or melt identification.

(b) Plate flanges, forged flanges, and flanged fittings shall be marked with the ASTM specification number and grade identification symbol.

(c) A manufacturer may supplement these mandatory material indications with his trade designation for the material grade, but confusion of symbols shall be avoided.

(a) (d) Flanges and flanged fittings manufactured

from material which meets the requirements for more than one grade of an ASTM specification listed in Table lA may be marked with more than one of the applicable grade symbols. The grade symbols shall be

'placed to avoid confusion in identification.

4.1.3 Rating Class. The marking shall be the applicable pressure rating class: 150, 300, 400, 600, 900,

~ )00, or 2500. .

'" MATERIALS

5.1 General

Flanges and flanged fittings covered by this Standard shall be castings, forgings, and (for blind flanges and certain reducing flanges' only) plate as listed in Table 1A. Recommended bolting materials are listed in Table lB. (See also para. 5.3.)

5.1.1 Criteria for the selection of materials are not within the scope of this Standard. The possibility of material deterioration in service should be. considered by the user. Carbide phase conversion to graphite and excessive oxidation of ferritic materials, susceptibility to intergranular corrosion of austenitic materials, or

ISee Table 7, Note (I), for reducing flange sizes in which the use of a blind flange as. a reducing flange is permitted.

ASME/ANSI B16.5a-1992 grain boundary attack of nickel base alloys are ;mong those items requiring attention. A detailed discussion of precautionary considerations can be found in Appendix F of ASME/ANSI B31.3.

5.2 Material Groupings

Materials in Tables 1 and 2 have been grouped to provide compatible flanged joint ratings for materials likely to be used together. The lowest' 'selected" stress value (see Annex D) at any temperature is used to determine the rating for the group at that temperature. Consequently, ratings for some materials are conservative. Note that groups are not numbered consecutively. Some groups are intended for use only in valves. See ANSI B16.34.

5.3 Bolting

. Bolting listed in Table 1 B is recommended for use in flanged. joints covered by this Standard. Bolting of other material may be used if permitted by the applicable code or governmental regulation. All bolting materials are subject to the following limitations.

5.3.1 High Strength Bolting. Bolting materials having allowable stresses not less than those for ASTM A 193 Grade B7 are listed as high strength in Table 1 B. These and other materials of comparable strength may be used in any flanged joint.

5.3.2 Intermediate Strength Bolting. Bolting materials listed as intermediate strength in Table 1 B, and other bolting of comparable strength, may be used in any flanged joint, provided the user verifies their ability to seat the selected gasket and maintain a sealed joint under expected operating conditions.

5.3.3 Low Strength Bolting. Bolting materials having not more than 30 ksi specified minimum yield strength are listed as low strength in Table lB. These materials and others of comparable strength shall be used only in Classes 150 and 300 joints, and only with gaskets described in para. 5.4.1. Flanged joints using low strength carbon steel bolts shall not be used above 400°F or below -20°F.

5.3.4 Bolting to Gray Cast Iron Flanges. The following recommendations are made in recognition of the low ductility of gray cast iron.

(a) Where Class 150 steel flanges are bolted to Class 125 cast iron flanges, the gaskets should be made of Group No. Ia materials, the steel flanges should have flat faces, and:

(1) low strength bolting within the limitations of para. 5.3.3 should be used with ring gaskets extending to the bolt holes; or

. (2) bolting of low (para. 5.3.3), intermediate (para. 5.3.2), or high (para. 5.3.1) strength may be

3

ASME/ANSI B16.5a-1992

used with full face gaskets extending to the outside diameters of the flanges.

(b) Where Class 300 steel flanges are bolted to Class 250 cast iron flanges, the gaskets should be made of Group No. Ia materials, and:

(1) low strength bolting within the limitations of para. 5.3.3 should be used with gaskets extending to the bolt holes and with the flanges having either raised or flat faces; or

(2) bolting of low (para. 5.3.3), intermediate (para. 5.3.2), or high (para. 5.3.1) strength may be used with full face gaskets extending to the outside diameters of the flanges and with both the Class 300 steel and Class 250 cast iron flanges having flat faces.

5.4 Gaskets

Ring joint gasket materials shall conform to ANSI B16.20. Materials for other gaskets are described in Annex E, which is part of this Standard. The user is responsible for selection of gasket materials which will withstand the expected bolt loading without injurious crushing, arid which are suitable for the service conditions. Particular attention should be given to gasket selection if a system hydrostatic test approaches or exceeds the test pressure specified in para. 8.3.

5.4.1 Gaskets for Low Strength Bolting. If bolting listed as low strength in Table IB is used, gaskets shown in Fig. El, Group No. Ia, shall be used.

5.4.2 Gaskets for Class 150 Flanged Joints. It is recommended that only Group No. lor ring joint gaskets be used for Class 150 flanged joints. When the ring joint-or'-spiral_\Vound gasket is selected, it is recommended that line flangesbe of the welding neck or lapped joint type.

6 DIMENSIONS

6.1 Wall Thickness

For inspection purposes the minimum wall thickness tm of flanged fittings at the time of manufacture shall be as shown in Tables 10,13,16,19,22,25, and 28, except as provided in para. 6.1.1. See Annex D for the basis used to establish values of 1m'

Additional metal thickness needed to withstand assembly stresses, shapes other than circular, and stress concentrations must be determined by the manufacturer, since these factors vary widely. In particular, 45 deg. laterals, true Y's, and crosses may require additional reinforcement to compensate for inherent weaknesses in these shapes.

PIPE FLANGES AND FLANGED FITTINGS

6.1.1 Local Areas. Local areas having less than minimum wall thickness will be acceptable provided that:

(a) the area of subminimum thickness can be t. .. - closed by a circle whose diameter is no greater than 0.35 JCTF;;, where d is the inside diameter as defined above and 1m is the minimum wall thickness as shown in the tables listed in para. 6.1; and,

(b) measured thickness is not less than 0.75 1m; and, (c) enclosure circles are separated from each other by an edge-to-edge distance of more than 1.75 Jdi,n.

6.2 Center-to-Center Surface and Center-to-End 6.2.1 Design. A principle of design in this Standard is to maintain a fixed position for the flange edr--

. with reference to the body of the fitting. The additk, of any facing is beyond the outside edge of the fla except for the 0.06 in. raised face in the Classes 150 and 300 Standards. (See para. 6.4.)

6.2.2 Standard Fittings. Center-to-contact surface, center-to-flange edge, and center-to-end (ring joint) dimensions are shown in Tables 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, and 28.

6.2.3 Reducing Fittings. Center-to-contact surface or center-to-flange edge dimensions for all openings shall be the same as those of straight size fittings of the largest opening. The contact surface-to-contact surface or flange edge-to-flange edge dimensions for all combinations of reducers and eccentric reducers shall be as listed for the larger opening.

6.2.4 Side Outlet Fittings. Side outlet elbows, side outlet tees, and side outlet crosses shall have all openings on intersecting center lines, and the center-I" contact surface dimensions of the side outlet shall -the same as for the largest opening. Long radius elbows with side outlet shall have the side outlet on I radial center line of the elbow, and the center-tocontact surface dimension of the side outlet shall be the same as for the regular 90 deg. elbow of the largest opening.

6.2.5 Special Degree Elbows. Special degree elbows ranging from 1 deg. to 45 deg., inclusive, shall have the same center-to-contact surface dimensions as 45 deg. elbows and those over 45 deg. and up to 90 deg., inclusive, shall have the same center-to-contact surface dimensions as 90 deg. elbows. The angle designation of an elbow is its deflection from straight line flow and is also the angle between the flange faces.

The thread shall be concent-": with the axis of the flange, and variations in alignme ... shall not exceed 0.06 in.lft (0.5%).

6.9.1 Class 150 flanges are made without a cour, terbore. The threads shall be chamfered approximately to the major diameter of the thread at the back of the flange at an angle of approximately 45 deg. with the axis of the thread. The chamfer shall be concentric with the thread and shall be included in the measurement of the thread length.

6.9.2 Class 300 and higher pressure flanges are made with a counterbore at the back of the flange. The threads shall be chamfered to the diameter of the counterbore at an angle of approximately 45 deg. with the axis of the threads. The counterbore and chamfer shall be concentric with the thread.

This depth of chamfer is approximately equal to one-half the pitch of the thread. The maximum allowable thread variation is one turn large or small from the gaging notch.

6.9.5 Annex A indicates the distance and number ofturns that external pipe threads may be made longer than regular for use with the higher pressure flanges to

6

PIPE FLANGES AND FLANGED FITTINGS

bring the small end of the thread close to the face of the flange when the parts are assembled by power equipment. Annex A applies to ANSI! AS ME BI.20.1 and is considered part of this Standard.

6.10 Flange Bolting Dimensions

6.10.1 Dimensional Standards. Stud bolts threaded at both ends or full length, or bolts may be used. Dimensional recommendations for bolts, stud bolts, and nuts are shown in Table IC. See para. 5.3 for bolting material recommendations.

6.10.2 Bolt Lengths. Stud bolts with a nut at each . end are recommended for high temperature service. , Stud bolt lengths are specified in Tables 8, 11, 14, 17, 20,23, and 26, and include the thickness of two nuts. The stud bolt length does not include the height of any point. A point is that part of a stud bolt or a bolt beyond the thread and may be chamfered, rounded, or sheared. For the method of calculating bolt lengths,

see Annex F. -

These lengths are established for the convenience of industry to simplify the assembly of these parts on construction work, but users may select combinations of these bolt lengths to suit their needs. Hence, Annex F is not considered part of this Standard.

6.10.3 The end flange bolting is based on a stress on the effective tensile stress area of the bolts not to exceed 7.0 ksi, assuming a pressure in psi equal to the pressure rating class designation to act upon an area circumscribed by the outside diameter of the raised face, dimension R, Table 4.

6.11.3 For flanges having large or small tongueand-groove faces, all gaskets except solid flat metal gaskets shall cover the bottom of the groove, with minimum clearance. (See para. 7.2.1 for tolerance applicable to groove.) Solid flat metal gaskets shall have contact width not greater than for Group No. III gaskets.

ASME/ANSI616.5-1988

6.11.4 For flanges with small male-and-female face, care must be taken to insure that adequate bearing surface is provided for the gaskets. This applies particularly where the joint is made on the end of pipe. See Fig. 7.

6.12 Auxiliary Connections

No auxiliary connections, or openings therefor, will be provided except as specified by the purchaser. If assembly is required, the purchaser shall also specify the applicable code or regulation. Welded auxiliary connections shall be made by a qualified welder using a qualified weld procedure.

6.12.1 Pipe Thread Tapping. Holes may be tapped in the. wall of a fitting if the metal is thick enough to allow the effective thread length specified in Fig. 3. Where thread length is insufficient or the tapped hole needs reinforcement, a boss shall be added.

6.12.2 Welded Connections

6.12.2.1 Sockets. Sockets (socket welding) may be provided in the wall of a fitting if the metal is thick enough to afford the depth of socket and retaining wall specified in Fig. 4. Where the wall thickness is insufficient, or the size of the connection requires opening reinforcement, a boss shall be added.

6.12.2.2 Butt Weld. Connections may be attached by butt welding directly to the wall of the fitting (see Fig. 5). Where the size of an opening requires reinforcement, a boss shall be added.

6.12.3 Bosses. Where bosses are required, the diameters shall be not less than those shown in Fig. 6, and the height shall provide lengths as specified in Fig. 3 or 4.

NOTES:

(1) Repair welding of bolting material is prohibited.

(2) These bolting materials may be used with all listed materials and gaskets.

(3) These bolting materials may be used with all listed materials and gaskets, provided it has been verified that a sealed joint can be maintained under rated working pressure and temperature.

(4) These bolting materials may be used with all listed materials but are limited to Classes 150 and 300 joints. See para. 5.4.1 for required gasket practices.

(5) These materials may be used as bolting with comparable nickel and special alloy parts. i

(6) This austenitic stainless material has been carbide solution treated but not strain hardened. Use A 194 nuts of corresponding .:-: material.

(7) Nuts may be machined from the same material or may be of a compatible grade of ASTM A 194.

(8) Maximum operating temperature is arbitrarily set at 500° F, unless material has been annealed, solution annealed, or hot finished, . because hard temper adversely affects design stress in the creep rupture range.

(9) Forging quality not permitted unless the producer last heating or working these parts tests them as required for other permitted conditions in the same specification and certifies their final tensile, yield, and elongation properties to equal or exceed the requirements for one of the other permitted conditions.

(10) This ferritic material is intended for low temperature serivce. Use A 194 Grade 4 or Grade 7 nuts.

(11) This austenitic stainless material has been carbide solution treated and strain hardened. Use A 194 nuts of corresponding material.

(12) This carbon steel fastener shall not be used above 400°F or below - 20°F. See also Note (4). Bolts with drilled or undersized heads shall not be used.

(13) Acceptable nuts for use with quenched and tempered bolts are A 194 Grades 2 and 2H. Mechanical property requirements for studs shall be the same as those for bolts.

FIG.2 METHOD OF DESIGNATING OUTLETS OF REDUCING FITTINGS IN SPECIFICATIONS'-3

NOTES:

(1) The largest opening establishes the basic size of a reducing fitting. The largest opening is named first. except that for bull head tees which are reducing on both runs and for double branch elbows where both branches are reducing. the outlet is the largest opening and named last in both cases.

(2) In designating the openings of reducing fittings, they should be read in the order indicated by the sequence ofthe letters A, 8, C, and D. In designating the outlets of side outlet reducing fittings, the side outlet is named last, and in the case of the cross which is not shown, the side outlet is designated by the letter E.

(3) Sketches are illustrative only and do not imply required design (see para. 3.2).

NOTES:

(1) See paras. 6.2 and 6.4.1.

(2) See Tables 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, and 28. ~

(3) For valves, see ASME/ANSI 816.10 for center-to-face dimensions. See ASME/ANSI 816.34 for other requirements.

(4) See Table 4 for dimensions of facings (other than ring joint) and Table 5 for ring joint facing. •

(5) For small male and female joints, care should be taken in the use of these dimensions to insure that the inside diameter of fitting or pipe is small enough to permit sufficient bearing surface to prevent the crushing of the gasket. (See Table 4.) This applies particularly on lines where the joint is made on the end of the pipe. Threaded companion flanges for small male and female joints are furnished with plain face and are threaded with American National Standard Locknut Thread (NPSl).

(6) Large male and female faces and large tongue and groove are not applicable to Class 150 because of potential dimensional con-

flicts.

(7) See Table 4. (8) See Table 5.

(9) See para. 6.4.2.

(10) See para. 6.4.2.5 and Table 5.

(3) When the thickness of the hub at the bevel is greater than that of the pipe to which the flange is joined and the additional thickness is provided on the outside diameter. a taper weld having a slope not exceeding 1 to 3 may be employed or. alternatively. the greater outside diameter may be tapered. at the same maximum slope or less. from a point on the welding bevel equal to the outside dlarneter of the mating pipe. Similarly. when the greater thickness is provided on the inside of the flange. it shall be taper-bored from the welding end at a slope not exceeding 1 to 3.

When flanges covered by this Standard are intended for services with light wall. higher strength pipe. the thickness of the hub at the bevel may be greater than that of the pipe to which the flange is joined. Under these conditions a single taper hub may be provided. and the outside diameter of the hub at the base (dimension X) may also be modified.

The additional thickness may be provided on either inside or outside or partially on each side. but the total additional thickness shall not exceed one-half times the nominal wall thickness of intended mating pipe. See Figs. 12. 13. and 14.

(2) Class 150 flanges do not have a counterbore. Class 300 and higher pressure flanges will have depth of counterbore q of 0.25 in. for NPS 2 and smaller tapping and 0.38 in. for NPS 2'12 and larger. The diameter Q of counterbore is the same as that given in the tables of threaded flanges for the corresponding tapping.

(3) Minimum length of effective threads shall be at least equal to dimension T of the corresponding pressure class threaded flange as shown in tables but does not necessarily extend to the face of the flange. For thread of threaded flanges, see para. 6.9.

(4)' For method of designating reducing threaded flanges, see para. 3.3 and Examples below.

EXAMPLES:

(1) The size designation is NPS 6 x 2'12 - Class 300 reducing threaded flange. This flange has the following dimensions:

NPS 2'12 - taper pipe thread tapping (ANSI/ASME Bl.20.1)

12.5 in. - diameter of regular NPS 6 Class 300 threaded flange 1.44 in. - thickness of regular NPS 6 Class 300 threaded flange

7.0 in. - diameter of hub for regular NPS 5 Class 300 threaded flange 0.62 in. - height of hub for regular NPS 5 Class 300 threaded flange

Other dimensions the same as for regular NPS 6 Class 300 threaded flange, Table 12.

(2) The size designation is NPS 6 x 2 - Class 300 reducing threaded flange. Use regular NPS 6 Class 300 blind flange tapped with NPS 2 taper pipe thread (ANSI/ASME Bl.20.1).

TABLE 9 (eONrOI

GENERAL NOTE: Dimensions are in inches.

NOTES:

(1) This dimension is for large end of hub, which may be straight or tapered. Taper shall not exceed 7 deg. on threaded, slip-on,

socket-welding, and lapped flanges. (2) For tolerances, see Section 7.'

(3) For facings, see para. 6.4.

(4) For flange bolt holes, see para. 6.5 and Table 8. (5) For spot facing, see para. 6.6.

(6) For reducing threaded and slip-on flanges, see Table 7.

(7) Blind flanges may be made with or without hubs at the manufacturer's option. (8) For reducing welding neck flanges, see para. 6.8.

(9) The minimum thickness of these loose flanges, in sizes NPS 3'12 and smaller, is slightly greater than the thickness of flanges on fittings, Table 1 O.-which are reinforced by being cast integral with the body of the fitting.

(10) When these flanges are required with flat face, either the full thickness or thickness with raised face removed may be furnished.

Users are reminded that removing the raised face will make the length through the hub nonstandard. See para. 6.4.1.1 for additional restrictions.

(11) The thickness of flange dimension illustrated is for regularly furnished 0.06 in. raised face (except lapped); for thickness requirements of other facing,s, see Fig. 7.

i12) For welding end bevel, see para. 6.7.

(13) For thread of threaded flanges, see para. 6.9.

14) Dimensions in Column 12 correspond to the inside diameters of pipe as given in ANSI/ASME 836.10M for Standard Wall pipe.

TABLE 10 (CONT'D)

GENERAL NOTE: Dimensions are in inches.

NOTES:

(1) For tolerances, see Section 7. (2) For facings, see para. 6.4.

(3) For flange bolt holes, see para. 6'.5 and Table 8. (4) For spot facing, see para. 6.6.

(5) For intersecting center lines, center-to-contact surface, and center-to-end dimensions of side outlet fittings, see para. 6.2.4. (6) For center-to-contact surface and center-to-end dimensions of special degree elbows, see para. 6.2.5.

(7) For reinforcement of certain fittings, see para. 6.1.

(8) For drains, see para. 6.12.

(9) The thickness of flange minimum dimensions for loose flanges, Table 9, sizes 3'/2 in. and smaller, are slightly heavier than for flanges on these fittings which are reinforced by being cast integral with the body of the fitting.

(10) When these fittings are required with flat face flange, either the full thickness or thickness with raised face removed may be furnished. Users are reminded that removing the raised face will make the center-to-face dimension nonstandard. See para. 6.4.1.1 for additional restrictions.

(11) The thickness of flange dimension illustrated is for regularly furnished 0.06 in. raised face (except lapped); for thickness require-

ments of other facings, see Fig. 7.

(12) For center-to-contact surface and center-to-end dimensions of reducinq fittings, see para. 6.2.3.

(13) For contact surface-to-contact surface and end-to-end dimensions of reducers and eccentric reducers, see para. 6.2.3.

(14) THese dimensions apply to straight sizes only. See paras'. 6.2.3 and 6.4.1.3. For center-to-end dimensions of reducing fittings or end-to-end dimensions of reducers, use center-to-contact surface or contact surface-to-contact surface dimensions of 0.06 irraised face (flange edge) for largest opening and add the proper height to provide for ring joint groove applying to each flange. Set. Table 5 for ring joint facing dimensions.

(15) The base dimensions apply to all straight and reducing sizes.

(16) For reducing fittings, the size and center-to-face dimension of base are determined by the size of the largest opening of fitting. Ir

the case of reducing base elbows, orders shall specify whether the base shall be opposite the larger or smaller opening. (17) Bases shall be plain [aced unless otherwise specified, and the center-to-base dimension R shall be the finished dimension. (18) Bases may be cast integral or attached as weldments at the option of the manufacturer.

(19) The bolt hole template is the same as for Class 150 flanges, Table 8, of corresponding outside diameter, except using only four holes in all cases so placed as to straddle centerlines. The bases of these fittings are intended for support in compression and are not to be' used for anchors or supports in tension or shear.

(13) These dimensions apply to straight sizes only. See paras._ 6.2.3 and 6.4.1.3. For center-to-end dimensions of reducing fittings or end-to-end dimensions of reducers. use center-to-contact surface or contact surface-to-contact surface dimensions of 0.06 in. raised face (flange edge) for largest opening and add the proper height to provide for ring joint groove applying to each flange. See Table 5 for ring joint facing dimensions.

(14) The base dimensions apply to all straiqnt and reducing sizes.

(15) For reducing fittings the size and center-to-face dimension of base are determined by the size of the largest opening of fitting. In

the case of reducing base elbows. orders shall specify whether the base shall be opposite the larger or smaller opening.

(16) Bases sh911 be plain faced unless otherwise specified; and the center-to-base face dimension R shall be the finished dimensior (17) Bases may be cast integral or.attached as weldments at the option of the manufacturer.

GENERAL NOTE: Dimensions are in inches.

NOTES:

(1) For tolerances. see Section 7. (2) For facings. see para. 6.4.

(3) For flange bolt holes. SE:e para. 6:5 and Table 14. (4) For spot facing. see para. 6.6.

(5) For intersecting center lines. center-to-contact surface. and center-to-end dimensions of side outlet fittings. see para. 6.2.4. (6) For center-to-contact surface and center-to-end dimensions of special degree elbows. see para. 6.2.5.

(7) For reinforcement of certain fittings. see para. 6.1.

(8) For drains. see para. 6.12.

(9) For center-to-contact surface and center-to-end dimensions of reducing fittings. see para. 6.2.3.

(10) For contact surface-to-contact surface and end-to-end dimensions of reducers and eccentric reducers. see para. 6.2.3.

(11) These dimensions apply to straight sizes only. (See paras. 6.2.3 and 6.4.1.3.) For the center-to-end dimensions of reducing fittings or end-to-end dimensions of reducers. use center-to-flange edge or flange edge-to-flange edge dimensions for largest opening. and add the proper height to provide for ring joint groove applying to each flange. See Table 5 for ring joint facing dimensions. (12) The base dimensions apply to all straight and reducing sizes.

(13) For reducing fittings. the size and center-to-face dimensions of base are determined by the size of the largest opening of fitting. In the case of reducing base elbows. orders shall specify whether the base shall be opposite the larger or smaller opening.

(14) Bases shall be plain faced unless otherwise specified. and the center-to-base face dimension R shall be the finished dimension.

(15) Bases may be cast integral or attached as weldments at the option of the manufacturer.

(16) The bolt hole template for round base is the same as for Class 300 flanges. Table 11. of corresponding outside diameter. excej, using only four holes in all cases so placed as to straddle center lines. The bases of these fittings are intended for support in compression and are not to be used for anchors or supports in tension or shear.
