See Example 2 (2) Class 150 flanges do not have a counterbore. Class 200 and highor pressure flanges wil have depth of countarbore q ef 0.25 Jn for NPS 2 and smaller tapping and 0.38 in foe NPS 2% and larger. The diameter Q of countorbore isthe same as thet given in the tables ef thesded flanges for the corresponding lapping, (3) Minimurn longth of effective throade chal be at east equal to dimension T ofthe corresponding pressure class throated flange ‘3¢ show in tables but dass not necessarily axtend fot the face of the Range. For thread of threaded flanges, see pera. 6.3. lal For method of designating reducing twaaded flanges, 280 pers. 3.3 and Exams belovr EXAMPLES: (1) The size designation is NPS 6 x 2% — Class 300 reducing threaded flange. This lange hae the folowing dimensions: NES 2% = taper pipe thread tepping (ASME B1.20.1) 125 in. = eiameter of regulse NPS 6 Closs 300 threaded flange 1148 in. = thickness of regular NPS 6 Class 300 threaded flange 7.0 in. = clametar of hub for regular NPS 5 Class 300 threaded Hanae 0.82 In. = hefght of hub for regular NPS § Close 300 thread flange Other dimensions the same as for regular NPS 6 Class 300 thread flange, Table 12 (2) The size designation & NPS 6 x 2 — Class 300 reducing threaded fange. Use regular NPS 6 Class 200 blind flange tapped ‘with: NPS 2 taper plpe thread {ASIME B1.20.1)
