Every auempt was made to standardize those dimensions that existed within the industry for the materials covered by ANSI BIG. Prompted by suggestions received from committee members, the tsk force was authorized to increase the size range to NPS 60. The first draft was developed in December 1982 to include Class 75 through Class 1500 for the size range NPS 26 through NPS 60. Flange dimensions were based on the Manufacturers Standardization Society Standard Practice (MSS SP) 44 flanges except for Class 75 flanges which are ANSUAPL 605 tanges. At the request of the American Petroleum Insitute (APD, flange dimeasions in accordance with the API Standard 605 were included in the subsequent drafts. Clas 1500 flanges were deleted due to lack of interest in using large size anges in that pressure-temperature rating ‘The API-605 flanges for Classes 150 and 300 and for sizes NPS 36 and smaller for classes higher than Class 300 are not compatible with the MSS SP-#4 flanges. Thus, the MSS SP-44 flanges are designated as Series A flanges and the API-605 flanges are designated a Series B flanges in this Standard. Materials covered in this Standard are as in ANSI 16.5 except nickel base alloys are excluded. Pessure-temperature ratings ae in accordance with ANSI Bi65 Jn 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B16 Committee operating under procedures sccredited by ANSI. Following approval by the Standards Commitee and ASME. approvat 4s an American National Standard was given by ANSI on June 12, 1950 This 1996 Edition allows flanges marked with more than one material grade or specification, revises Mange facing fnish requirements, has revised pressure-temperature ratings for several material groups, adds permissible flange facing imperfections, adds blind fanges for Series B flanges, and includes several other revisions. Following approval by the Standards Commitee and ASME, approval as an American National Standard was given by ANSI on October 3, 1996 with the new designation ASME B16.47-1996 Al requests for interpretations or suggestions fo revisions should be sent tothe Administra tive Secretary B16, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5950 8 etic Sockty OF estar Eroreets (a)it by ed ul 16 STD-ASME BLb-47A-ENGL 2996 MM 0759670 Ob1a423 828 mm ASME B16 COMMITTEE (a) Standardization of Valves, Flanges, Fittings, Gaskets, and Valve Actuators (he following is rotor of the Commitee atthe time of approvel ofthis Standard.)

Flanges may be cast, forged, or plate (for blind Manges only) materials, as listed in Table 1A, Requirements and recommendations regarding bolting and gaskets are also included. 1.2 Flange Se ‘This Standard provides two series of flange dimen- sions. Series A specifies flange dimensions for general use flanges. Series B specifies flange dimensions for ‘compact flanges which, in general, have smaller bolt circle diameters than Series A flanges. These two series of flanges are not interchangeable. The user should recognize that some flanged valves, equipment bolted between flanges, and flanged equipment may only be compatible with bolt circle diameter of one series of anges. 1.3 References 1.3.1 Referenced Standards. Standards and spec ifications adopted by reference in this Standard are shown in Annex E, 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 E. A flange manufactured in accord: ance with earlier editions of the referenced standards, and in all other respects conforming to this Standard will be considered to be in conformance with this Standard 1.3.2 Codes and Regulations. A flange used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (ASME BPV Code), the ASME Code for Pressure Piping, or a governmental regulation is subject to any limitation ofthat code or regulation. This includes any maximum temperature limitation, rule governing the use of a material at low temperature, or provisions PSOCOONDBSe Aenea Sey OF Mechanied Erginsts for operation at a pressure exceeding the pressure temperature ratings in this Standard 14 Applicable Ratings ‘The pressure-temperature ratings in this Standard are applicable upon its publication to all flanges within its scope which otherwise meet its requirements, For unused flanges maintained in inventory, the manufacturer of the Mange may certify conformance to this Edition, provided he can demonstrate that all requirements of this Edition have been met. Where such components ‘were installed in accordance with the pressure-tempera- ‘ure ratings of an earlier edition of this Standard, those Tatings are applicable, except as may be governed by the applicable code or regulation (see para, 1.32). 1.5 User Accountability ‘This Standard cites duties and responsibilities that ate 1 be assumed by the user in the areas of application, installation, hydrostatic testing, operation, and material selection, 1.6 Quality Systems Nonmandatory requirements relating to the product ‘manufacturer's Quality System Program are described in Annex D. 2 PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS. 2.1 Rating Basis Ratings are maximum allowable working gage pres- sures, at the temperatures shown in Table 2 for the applicable material and rating. For intermediate tempera- tures, linear interpolation is permitted. See Annex A for ‘methods of establishing pressure-temperature ratings. 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 rust be exercised in the selection and application for all these elements in order to attain a joint which hasit by Wed sul 16 12:15:20 2005, (a) STD-ASME BLL-47A-ENGL 1998 MB 0759670 ObLa42, 537 ASME 816.272.1998 acceptable leak tightness. Special techniques such as controlled bolt tightening may be necessary to achieve 4 light join in service. Ratings in this Standard apply to flanged joints which conform to the limitations on bolting in para. 5.3 and fon gaskets in para, $.4, and which are made up ia accordance with good practice for alignment apd assem- bly, Seo also para. 2.4. Use of the ratings for flanged Joints not conforming to these limitations is the sole responsibilty of the user. Requirements for alignment and assembly of joints are aot 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. 2.3 Rating Temperature ‘The temperature shown for a corresponding pressure rating is the temperature of the pressure containing shell of the flange. In general, this temperature is the ‘same as that of the contained uid. Use of a pressure ating comesponding 10 a temperature other than that cf the contained uid is the responsibilty of the user, subject {0 the requirements of the applicable cose or regulation, For any temperature below ~20°F the rating shall be ne greater than the rating shown for ~20°F. 2.4 Temperature Considerations Application of the ratings in this Standard to fanged joins at both high and low temperatures shall take into consideration the risk of leakage due 10 forces land moments developed in the connected piping. or equipment. The following provisions sare intended to minimize these sks 2.4.1 High Temperature Service. At tempera tures in the creep range, gradual relaxation of flanges, bolts, and gaskets may progressively reduce bolt loads. Itmay 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°F, Classes 75 and 150 flanged joints may develop leakage unless care is taken 10 ‘void imposing severe external loads and/or severe thermal gradients. For other classes, similar consider ation should be given above 750°F. a Aneta Sockty OF estore Enorees LARGE DIAMETER STEEL FLANGES 2.42 Low Temperature Service.

The ratings also apply to such flanges used with components of unequal strength and unequal wall thickness when the attachment ‘welds is made in accordance with the applicable code or cegulation. See Figs. 5, 6, and 7. 2.7 Multiple Material Grades ‘Materials for flanges may meet the requirements for ‘more than one specification or grade of a specification listed in Table 1A. In that event, the pressure-temper ture ratings for any of these specifications or grades ‘may be used provided that the marking is in accordance with para, 4.1.24). 3 SIZE 3.1 Nominal Size ‘The size of a flange 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 measure- ‘ment, The actual dimension may or may not be the nominal size and is subject to established tolerances, 4 MARKING 4.1.

Every attempt was made 10 standardize those dimensions that existed within the industry for the materials covered by ANST B16. Prompted by suggestions received from committee members, the task force was authorized to increase the size range to NPS 60. The first draft was developed in December 1982 t0 Include Class 75 through Class 1500 for the size range NPS 26 through NPS 60. Flange dimensions were based on the Manufacturers Standardization Society Standard Practice (MSS SP) 44 flanges except for Class 75 flanges which are ANSVAPI 605 flanges. At the request of the American Petroleum Institute (API, flange dimensions in accordance with the API Standard 605 were included in the subsequent drafts. Class 1500 flanges were deleted due t0 lack of interest in using large size flanges in that pressure-temperatare rating. ‘The API-605 flanges for Classes 150 and 300 and for sizes NPS 36 and smaller for classes higher than Class 300 sre not compatible with the MSS SP-44 flanges. Thus, the MSS SP-44 flanges are designated as Series A flanges and the API-605 flanges are designated as Series B flanges in this Standard, Materials covered in this Standard are as in ANSI BI6.5 except nickel base alloys are excluded. Pressure-tempersture ratings are in accordence with ANSI BI6S. In 1982, American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B16 Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI, Following approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, approval as an American National Standard was given by ANSI on June 12, 1990, ‘This 1996 Esition allows flanges marked with more than one material grade or specification, revises flange facing finish requirements, has revised pressure-temperature ratings for several ‘material groups, adds permissible flange facing imperfections, adds blind anges for Series B flanges, and includes several other revisions. Following approval by the Standards ‘Committee and ASME, approval as an American National Standard was given by ANSI fon October 3, 1996 with the new designation ASME B16.47-1996, All requests for interpretations or suggestions for revisions should be sent to the Administra: tive Secretary B16, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, United Engineering Center, 345 Fast 47th Steet, New York, NY 10017 2 etic Sockty OF Mesharicd EroreetsSTD-ASME BUb-47-ENGL L596 MM 0759670 OS792b2 262 a ASME B16 Committ Standardization of Valves, Flanges, Fittings, Gaskets, and Valve Actuators (he following is roster ofthe Committ atthe time of approval of this Standard) OFFICERS W.N.

A flange manufactured in accord ‘ance with earlier editions of the referenced standards, and in all other respects conforming to this Standard, will be considered to be in conformance with this ‘Standaed, 1.32 Codes and Regulations. A flange used under the jurisdiction of the ASME Boiler and Pressure ‘Vessel Code (ASME BPV Code), the ASME Code for Pressure Piping, or a governmental regulation is subject to.ny limitation of that code or regulation, This includes ‘any maximum temperature limitation, rule governing the use of @ material at low temperature, or provisions 2 erica Sockty OF estar Eroreets Med Ju 16° 12:17:50 2003 for operation at a pressure exceeding the pressure temperature ratings in this Standard, 1.4 Applicable Ratings ‘The pressure-temperature ratings in this Standard are applicable upon its publication to all flanges within its scope which otherwise meet its requirements, For unused flanges maintained in inventory, the manufacturer of the flange may certify conformance to this Edition, provided he can demonstrate that all requirements of this Edition have been met. Where such components ‘were installed in accordance with the pressure—tempera- Ture ratings of an earlier edition of this Standard, those ratings are applicable, excopt as may be governed by the applicable code or regulation (see para, 1.3.2) 1.5 User Accountability ‘This Standard cites duties and responsibilities that are 1 be assumed by the user in the areas of application, installation, hydrostatic testing, operation, and material selection, 1.6 Quality Systems ‘Nonmandatory requirements relating to the product ‘manufacturer's Quality System Program are described in Annex D. 2 PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS 2.1 Rating Basis Ratings are maximum allowable working gage pres- sures, at the temperatures shown in Table 2 for the applicable material and rating. For intermediate tempera- tures, linear interpolation is permitted, See Annex A, which is part ofthis Standard, for methods of establish” ing pressure-temperature ratings. 2.2 Ratings of Flanged Joints ‘A flanged joint is composed of three separate and independent, although interrelated, components: the ‘anges, the gasket, and the bolting, which are assembled by yet another infuence, the assernbler. Proper controls ‘must be exercised in the selection and application forit by ed ul 16 STD-ASME B1L-47-ENGL 1996 MM 0759670 0579267 844 mm ‘ASME 816.47-1995 all these elements in order to attain a joint which has acceptable leak tightness. Special techniques such as controled bott tightening may be necessary to achieve 4 tight joint in service. Ratings inthis Standard apply to flanged joints which conform to the limitations on bolting in para, 5.3 and fon gaskets in para. 54, and which are made up in accordance with good practice for aljgnment and assem- bly. See also para. 2.4. Use of the ratings for flanged joints not conforming to these limitations is the sole 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, 23 Rating Temperature ‘The temperature shown for a corresponding pressure rating is the temperature of the pressure containing. Shell of the Mange. 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 10 the requirements of the applicable code or regulation, For any temperature below -20°F the rating shall be no greater than the rating shown for ~20°F, 2.4 Temperature Considerations Application of the ratings in this Standard to flanged joints both high and low temperatures shall tke into consideration the risk of leakage due to forces and. ‘moments developed in the connected piping or equip- ‘ment. The following provisions are intended to minimize these risks 24.1 High Temperature Service. At tempera- tures 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°F, Classes 75 and 150 flanged joints may develop leakage unless care is taken to ‘avoid imposing severe extemal loads and/or severe thermal gradients. For other classes, similar consider- ation should be given above 750 F. a Aneta Sockty OF estore Erorees LARGE DIAMETER STEEL FLANGES 2.4.2 Low Temperature Service. Some of the ‘materials listed in the rating tables undergo sufficient decrease in toughness at low temperatures that they cannot safely sustain shock loadings, sudden changes, of stress or temperature, or high stress concentrations, 25 System Hydrostatic Test Flanged joints may be subjected to system hydrostatic lests at a pressure not to exceed 1.5 times the 100°F rating rounded off to the next higher 25 psi. ‘Testing at any higher pressure is the responsibility ‘of the user, subject t0 the requirements of the applicable ‘code of regulation. 2.6 Welding Neck Flanges Ratings for carbon steel cylindrically bored welding rncck flanges covered by this Standard are based upon their hubs at the welding end having a thickness at Teast equal to that calculated for pipe having 40.0 ksi specified minimum yield strength. The ratings also apply to such flanges used with components of unequal strength and unequal wall thickness when the tachment Welds is made in accordance with the applicable code or regulation. See Figs. 5, 6, and 7. 2.7 Multiple Material Grades Materials for flanges may meet the requirements for ‘more than one specification or grade of a specification listed in Table 1. In that event, the pressure-tempera- re ratings for any of these specifications or grades ‘may be used provided that the marking is in accordance with para. 4.1.2(0, 3 SIZE 3.1 Nominal Size ‘The size of a flange 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 measure ‘ment. The actual dimension may or may not be the nominal size and is subject to established tolerances 4 MARKING 4.4.

Criteria forthe selection of ma- terials are not within the seope of this Standard. The possibility of material deterioration in service should bbe considered by the user. Carbide phase conversion to graphite and excessive oxidation of ferrtic materials ‘of susceptibility to intergranular corrosion of austenitic ‘materials are among those items requiring attention, A detailed discussion of precautionary considerations can bbe found in Appendix F ot ASME 31.3 5.1.2 Toughness. Some of the materials listed in ‘Table 1A undergo a decrease in toughness when used at low temperatures, to the extent that codes referencing this Standard may require impact tests for applications even at temperatures higher than 420°F, It is the responsibility of the user to assure that such testing is performed, 5.1.3 Responsibility.
