1 Schedules 5S and 10S wall thicknesses do not permit threading in accordance with ANSI/ASME B1.20.1.
2 These dimensions and weights do not conform to ANSI/ASME B36.10M.
– The suffix ‘S’ after the schedule number indicates that the pipe dimensions and weight are in compliance with this stainless steel pipe
specification, ANSI/ASME B36.19M-1985, and not the more general ANSI/ASME B36.10M-1995 specification.
– Although this specification is applicable to stainless steel, quoted weights are for carbon steel pipe and should be multiplied by 1.014 for
austenitic and duplex steels, or by 0.985 for ferritic and martensitic steels.

A Flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other

/8 1
/8 13/4 1
/8
equipment to form a pipework system. It also provides easy access for
5
/16 20 3
/4 20 2 1
/8
cleaning, inspection or modification. Flanges are usually welded or 5
/16 18 3
/4 18 2 1

screwed into such systems and then joined with bolts. 5

This flange is circumferentially welded into the system at its neck which means 3

that the integrity of the butt welded area can be easily examined by radiography. 3
/8 1
/8 1 20 4 1

The bores of both pipe and flange match, which reduces turbulence and erosion
inside the pipeline. The weld neck is therefore favoured in critical applications
Slip-on O/D Wall O/D Wall O/D Wall
This flange is slipped over the pipe and then fillet welded. Slip-on flanges are (mm) (mm) (mm) (mm) (mm) (mm)

Blind 6 1.0 14 2.0 25 2.0
This flange is used to blank off pipelines, valves and pumps, it can also be used 6 1.5 15 1.0 25 2.5
as an inspection cover. It is sometimes referred to as a blanking flange. 8 1.0 15 1.5 25 3.0
Socket Weld 8 1.5 15 2.0 30 1.5
This flange is counter bored to accept the pipe before being fillet welded. 10 1.0 16 1.5 30 2.0
The bore of the pipe and flange are both the same therefore giving good flow 10 1.5 16 2.0 30 3.0
characteristics. 10 2.0 18 1.5 38 3.0
Threaded 12 1.0 20 1.5 38 4.0
This flange is referred to as either threaded or screwed. It is used to connect 12 1.5 20 2.0
other threaded components in low pressure, non-critical applications. 12 2.0 22 1.5
No welding is required.
Lap Joint
These flanges are always used with either a stub end or taft which is butt welded
to the pipe with the flange loose behind it. This means the stub end or taft
always makes the face. The lap joint is favoured in low pressure applications
because it is easily assembled and aligned. To reduce cost these flanges can be
supplied without a hub and/or in treated, coated carbon steel.
Ring Type Joint
This is a method of ensuring leak proof flange connection at high pressures.
A metal ring is compressed into a hexagonal groove on the face of the flange to
make the seal. This jointing method can be employed on Weld Neck, Slip-on and
Blind Flanges.

There are five classes of stainless
steel: Martensitic, Ferritic, Austenitic,
Duplex and Precipitation Hardening.
Martensitic types may be
strengthened and hardened by heat
treatment, but the Ferritic steels,
which in general have lower carbon
and higher Chromium contents, do
not respond in this way.
Ferritic stainless steels contain
chromium usually in the range
11 to 18%. They are magnetic,
have moderate corrosion resistance
and are not susceptible to stress
corrosion. Austenitic stainless steels
contain nickel as well as chromium,
and are sometimes referred to by
the generic title 18/8, i.e. 18%
chromium, 8% nickel, although the
actual composition may vary widely
from these figures. They are non-
magnetic and cannot be hardened
by heat treatment, although they
strain harden rapidly when cold
worked.
All stainless steels except hardened
Martensitic steels are ductile and
therefore can be formed, but the
Austenitic types are outstanding in
this respect. They are also amongst
the most highly corrosion-resistant
materials available to the designer
and engineer. Duplex stainless steels
combine the optimum properties
of austenitic and ferritic types.
They contain 18 - 26% chromium
plus 4.5 to 6.5% nickel and have
good resistance to stress corrosion
cracking. Precipitation hardening
stainless steels may be martensitic,
semi-austenitic or austenitic.
They combine the heat treatability
of normal martensitic grades
with the corrosion resistance of
austenitics. They are available in bar
form for the production of heavy
duty engineering components.
Specifying finishes for
stainless steel flat
products (sheet and plate)
Introduction
Surface finishes for stainless steel
sheet (coil, strip) and plates, are
specified in EN 10088-2:1995.
'Stainless steels – Technical delivery
conditions for sheet/plate and strip
for general purposes.’
The standard identifies both ‘ex-mill’
hot and cold rolled finishes and
‘special finishes’, as value added
finishes to achieve specific aesthetic
effects.
Most of the finishes available have
a surface that provides a high
standard of corrosion resistance, up
to the limit of the compositional
potential of the particular grade.
The coarser finishes may limit the
corrosion resistance of the steel in
severe applications, where the
particular grade is operating in
conditions close to the limit of its
corrosion resistance.
In numeric or quantitative terms this
is very difficult to define and is often
a matter of judgement.
