BRITISH STANDARD SPECIFICATION FOR

FOREWORD
This revised standard has been prepared under the authority of the Mechanical
Engineering Industry Standards Committee and supersedes B.S. 10, Part 1,
1947; B.S. 10, Part 2, 1926; B.S. 10, Part 3, 1929; B.S. 10, Part 4, 1931 and
B.S. 10, Part 5i 1932.
The number of tables has been reduced by the omission of Tables B, C, L,
M and P included in the previous edition. The increase in pressure ratings at
lower temperatures for Tables D and E has made Tables B and C redunciant;
Tables L, M and P have found little application.
Additions have been made to the standard to conform to the requirements
of current practice. The size ranges for Tables D, E, K, R and T have been
extended,Thicknesses for cast iron flangeshavebeenadded to Table H.
Dimensionalrequirements for steelbosstypeflangeshavebeenincludedin
Tables A, D, E, F, H and J. Dimensions for welding neck flanges have also been
included for all tables except Table A.
Some of the sizes of flanges specified in the previous edition of B.S. 10 have
been deleted and other sizes have been introduced in this revised standard. The
dimensions of flanges to Table A, Sizes 54 in, 60 in, 66 in, and 72 in, have been
completely revised to meet the requirements of the principal users.
Pressure ratings for each table of flanges have been calculated to enable
values to bescheduled for a number of temperatures,from 0°F (-17*0""C)
upwards, superseding the ratings given in Clause 8, Part 5 of B.S. 10, 1932.
Pressure ratings for flanges of carbon steel and cast iron have been increased
at the lower temperatures; for flanges of copper alloy the temperature-p-lessure
ratings are based on B.S. 20M* and flange thicknesses for certain sizes have
been reducedin agreement withcurrent practice. The pressures referredto in this
standard are gauge pressures.
It should be noted that, apart from cast iron flanges, the hydraulic teat
pressure applied to a flange joint is limited to one-and-a-half f i m s the highest
rated pressure of the flange (see Clause 8).
Flange materials for all tables are now specified and this standard has been
extended to cover flanges of certain alloy steels.

Review of tables. B.S. 10 flanges have been in use since 1904 and have been
developed continuously to meet increasing pressure and temperature require-
ments, At the time of this revision, flange joints with carbon steel pipe flanges
for high temperatures and pressures to the British Standard tables have been in
s e r v i c e throughout the world for periods equal to the economic life of primary
plant. The trend towards the use of ever higher temperatures in thermal cycles,
together with the need to conserve resources, necessitated a revision of design
theory.Research into the designofflange joints under the auspices of the
Institution of Mechanical Engineers made it possible to calculate the effects
ofhigh temperatures. The results of thisresearchhave been applied in this
revision of B.S. 10.
Experiencehasindicated that where temperatures of 800°F (427OC) and
higher have to be withstood, an estimateof the effect of creep becomes essential
so that the condition of a joint at any given time, after initial tightening, can be
predicted. This has been made possible by methods of analysis developed for
application to the British Standard typeofflange, and examination of the
resulting proportions of these flanges has shownthat a complete rationalization
of the tables can be obtained by an increase in the thickness of the flange in
certain sizes. Apart from Table A sizes 54 to 72 inch, the other basic dimensions,
¡.e., the Hange diameter, bolt circle diameter and the number and sizes of the
bolts have not been altered exceptin the case of Table E where the bolt diameter
--`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
has been increased from L inch to 1 ?4inch for the 24 inch size flange.
The type of steel flange for which calculations have been made is essentially
a flat annular ring, homogeneous with the pipe, having a raised jointing face of
prescribed diameter and with the gasket substantially covering the full area of
the jointing face.Thethicknessesofboss and weldingneckflanges and of
-
integral flanges - cast or forged on valves, havenot yet been evaluated theoreti-
cally. As an interim measure the thicknesses for boss and welding neck flanges
are the same as for plain flanges and the existing thicknesses of integral flanges
on valves, which have been used for many years, are given in the tables.
Development of analysis. It has been established that the critical stress in a
steel plain flange isthe circumferential stress.
l n calculating the external loads on the flange allowancehas been made for
the effect of the adjacent pipe which is usually subjected to plastic deformation,
Attemperatures where no creepoccurselastic conditions prevailin the
flange plate throughout the lifetime of the joint and the elastic theory hasbeen
used for these conditions,
Where temperatures are such as to produce creep arld consequently plastic
conditions in all parts of the joint the initial stresses relax
and the stress distribu-
tion is changing throughout its lifetime. In this 'case the criterion for tightness
of the joint has to be satisfied under initial tightening conditions (cold), under
operating conditions at the end of its life aód atall intermediate times. i

B.S. 10 :1962
To solve completely the problems set by these requirements, the relaxed

stresses in the component parts of the joint in service should be known. For
carbon steel these stresses were obtained from tests on 8 in bore-able T
flanges; for alloysteeltheyhave been derivedfromexistingdesignswhich
have been proved to be reliable in service over manyyears.
As far as present knowledge of creep and relaxation properties allows, the
temperatura applicable at correspondingpressures(Temperatwe-pressure
applicability) for steel flanges have been ascertained on the basis of ensuring a
tight joint for a period of 1 0 0 O00 hours of continuous service under stable
conditions without retightening.
NOTE 1. When metric equivalents of the pipe dimensions in this standard are required,
reference should be made to the corresponding values in I S 0 recommendations R64* and
R65t as appropriate. When it is required to convert the figures in this standard from British
units into meiric units it is recommended that the conversion factors and the table of con-
version contained in B.S. 350, ' Conversion factors and tables ', be used. Attention -is als:
drawn to B.S. 2856. ' Precise conversion of inch and metric sizes on engineering drawings
NOTE 2. In place of the customary, but incorrect, use of the pound as a unit of force, the
.
unit called pound-force (abbreviation lbf) has been used in this standard. This is the force
which, when acting on a body of mass one pound, gives it an acceleration equal to that of
standard gravify.
The unit called ton-force (abbreviation tonf) has also been used where appropriate.
SPECTFICATION
SCOPE
1. This standard provides for a series of carbon steel, alloy steel, cast iron and
copper alloy flanges, and also appropriate bolts and nuts, for use with pipes,
valves and fittings containing steam, oil, compressed air or water within the
following ranges of temperature and pressure:
Temperature: - 328°F (- 2 0 ° C ) up to and including 975°F (524°C) $e,,d
(for
low temperature applicationsrefer to Clause 9). %i
Pressure: Up to andincluding 2800 lbf/ina.
The useofflangescomplyingwiththis standard for temperatures below
0°F (--174°C) shall be agreed between purchaser and manufacturer.
These flanges may also be used on pipes, valves and fittings carrying other
fluidsforwhich the same requirements for safetyand joint tightness are
appropriate.
The applicabilityrelationshipbetween temperatureand pressure for the
above materials is specified for each table of flanges in Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6.
The types ofgasket, and gasket materials, and the surface finish ofth0
jointing face are matters for agreement between the purchaser and the manu-
facturer. When a raised jointing face is specifled the outside diameter of the
gasket should extend at least to the outside diameter of the raised face. For
steel flanges when a raised jointing face is not specified, the gasket should be
within the bolt holes.

DESIGN TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE
2. The design temperature and pressure shall be stated by the purchaser except
where the flange table is specified. Where there is an appropriate application
standard it is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that the design
temperature and pressurestated comply with the requirements of that standard.
The temperature-pressure ratings given in Tables 3 to 6 inclusive are design
ternpmttzes and pressures. The pressure ratings, with the exception of those in
the second column in Table5 are applicable to installations subjectto moderate
shock such as mayoccurin an efficientlydesignedandoperatedboilerfeed
main. Where 8 system may be subject to more severe shock, it is the responsi-
bility of the purchaser to make a suitable allowance when stating the design
pressure or the flange table.
DESZGNATION
3. The flange sizes shall be designated by the nominal bores of their respective
pipes as given in the first and last column of each table.
PLANCE DIMENSIONS
4. The dimensions of the flangesto this standard shall conformto those specified
in the appropriate tables and Figs. 3,4, 5,6 and 7.

(i) Tables A , D , E and F. Raised jointing faces are not specified because
it is not customary to use them on these flanges, If a raised jointing face is
required on a steel flange, the diameter shall be W in less than the diameter
of the inscribed circle touching the bolt holes,
(ii) Tables H, J , und K. Raised jointing faces are specified in these tables
and are recommended only for steel flanges.
(iii) Tables R, S und T. Raised jointing faces as specified in these tables
shall be used.
b, Flange thicknesses. (Figs. 3,4, 5 , 6 and'7).
The thickness (T) specified in the tables includes a raised jointing face
having a heightnotexceeding f i s in.Wherethere is no raisedface, T isthe '
thickness of the flange.

If the height of the raised jointing faceis more than f i e in, the thickness (T)
shall be increased by an equivalent amount.

c. Nuts. Nuts may be made from steel to the same specification as that
used for the bolts or stud-bolts to which they are fitted but, for design tempera-
tures over 550°F (287-8"C),it is recommended that nuts should be made from a
material having a lower tensile strength than that for the bolts, provided that
it is suitable for the design temperature.

(482"C), thesteelshall be to B.S. 970 En2E, 3A or 4t, unless
otherwise agreed between purchaser and manufacturer.
The use of washers may necessitatethe partial removal of the radius or fillet
at the back of the flange by spot-facing or back-facing. Washers shall not be
fitted where this would result in the removal of the radius or fillet to an extent
. greater than that indicated in Fig. 5 for integrally cast or forged steel flanges.
NOTE, For references III to VI inclusive (see Table 2) it is desirable to mark the nuts, bolts
and stud-bolts to Identify the materials used. When the purchaser requircs this to be done,
the system of marking to be employed should bethesubject of agreementbetweenthe
purchaser and the manufacturer.

BRITISH STANDARDS INSTITUTION
The British Standards Institution was founded in 1901
and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1929,
The principal objects of the Institutionas set'out in
the.charter are to co-ordinate the efforts of producer8
and users for the improvement, standardization and
simplilìcation of engineering and industrial materials;
to simplify production and distribution; to eliminate
-the waste of time and material involved in the pro-
duction of an unnecessary variety of patterns and sizes
of ariicles for one and the same purpose; to set up
standards of quality and dimensions, and to promote
the general adoption of British Standards.
In carrying out its work the Institutionendeavours
to ensure adequate representation of all viewpoints.
Before embarking on any project it must be satisfied
that there is a strong body of opinion in favour of
proceedingand thatthere is a recognized needto be met.
The Institution is a non-profit-making concern. It
is financedby subscriptions from firms, trade asso-
ciations,professional institutions and other bodies
inferested in its work, by a Government grant and by
--`,``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
the sale of its publications. The demands onthe

services of the Institution are steadily increasing and
can only be met if continuing and increased financial
support is provided.
Membership of the Institution is open to British
subjects, companies, technical and trade associations,
and local and public authorities.
