Notes:
1. Ring flanges may be overbored or counterbored to accommodate larger outside-diameter pipe than shown as nominal. This is done to allow a clear inside
diameter after cement-mortar lining. Wrench clearance between the pipe OD and bolt circle must be maintained as well as sufficient gasket seating area.
2. Metric conversion: nominal pipe size: in. x 25 = mm; dimensions: in. x 25.4 = mm; psi x 6.895 = kPa
* Pressure rating at atmospheric temperature is 86 psi. These flanges have the same OD and drilling as class 125 cast-iron flanges (ASME B16.1). In sizes 24 in.
and smaller, they also match ASME B16.5 class 150 psi drilling for steel flanges.
Pressure rating at atmospheric temperature: sizes 4-12 in. inclusive, 175 psi; sizes larger than 12 in., 150 psi. These flanges have the same diameter and drilling
as class 125 cast-iron flanges (ASME B16.1). In sizes 24 in. and smaller, they also match ASME B16.5 class 150-psi standard for steel flanges.
+ The purchaser shall specify the ID of the flange, dimension B, for nominal pipe sizes 26 in. and larger. The diameter of the flange bore shall not exceed the pipe
+
OD by more than 0.25 in.
Bolt holes shall be drilled 1/8-in. larger in diameter than the nominal diameter of the bolt except as stated in Sec. 4.2.3.

Notes:
1. Hub flanges are to be used on pipe that has an OD equal to the nominal pipe size in the first column and shall not be
overbored.
2. Metric conversion: nominal pipe size: in. x 25 = mm; dimensions: in. x 25.4 = mm; psi x 6.895 = kPa.
* Pressure rating at atmospheric temperature: sizes 4-12 in. inclusive, 175 psi; sizes larger than 12 in., 150 psi. These
flanges have the diameter and drilling as class 125 cast-iron flanges (ASME B16.1). In sizes 24 in. and smaller, they

Welding neck flanges may be used if desired, at the purchasers option.
+
+ Bolt holes shall be drilled 1/8-in. larger in diameter than the nominal diameter of the bolt as stated in Sec. 4.2.3.
The thickness T of the flange from which the raised face has been removed, shall be no less than dimension T minus 0.06 in.

Notes:
1. Ring flanges may be overbored or counterbored to accommodate larger outside diameter pipe than shown as nominal. This is done to allow a clear inside diameter after cement-mortar lining. Wrench clearance between the pipe OD
and bolt circle must be maintained as well as sufficient gasket seating area.
2. Metric conversion: nominal pipe size: in. x 25 = mm: dimensions: in. x 25.4 = mm: psi x 6.895 = kPa.
*Pressure rating at atmospheric temperature is 275 psi. These flanges have the same diameter and drilling as ASME
B16.1 class 125 cast-iron flanges. In sizes 24 in. and smaller, they also match ASME B16.5 class 150 psi standard for
steel flanges.
The purchaser shall specify the ID of the flange, dimension B, for nominal pipe sizes 26 in. and larger. The diameter of
the flange bore shall not exceed the pipe OD by more than 0.25 in.
+
+ Bolt holes shall be drilled 1/8-in. larger in diameter than the nominal diameter of the bolt except as stated in Sec. 4.2.3.

Notes:
1. All flanges are flat faced.
2. ASTM A36 steel used (allowable stress 16,000 psi).
3. ASTM A307 Grade B bolts (7,000 psi allowable stress) used for class B and D.
4. ASTM A193 Grade B7 bolts (25,000 psi allowable stress) used for class E and F.
5. For diameters over 48 in., designers should consider using dished heads welded to a standard flange.
*Design Method: ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Sec, VIII, Div. 1, UG-34, Eq 2, or corresponding ring-flange
thickness, whichever is greater.
Class D flanges are rated at 175 psi (1,207 kPa) for nominal pipe sizes 12 in. (600 mm), and 150 psi (1,034 kPa)
for nominal pipe sizes > 12 in. (600 mm).

AWWA FABRICATION TOLERANCES

4.2.1 Tolerances. The dimensions listed in Tables 2 through 7 shall apply prior to attachment and are subject to the following tolerances:
4.2.1.1 Inside diameter of flange +1/16 in. (1.6 mm), -0
4.2.1.2 Outside diameter of flange +- 1/8 in. (3.2mm)
4.2.1.3 Thickness of flanges 18 in. (450mm) and smaller + 1/8 in. (3.2 mm), -0
4.2.1.4 Thickness of flanges 20 in. (500mm) and larger + 3/16 in. (4.8 mm), -0
4.2.1.5 Length through hub 18 in. (450mm) and smaller + 1/8 in. (3.2 mm), -1/32 in. (.079 mm)
4.2.1.6 Length through hub 20 in. (500mm) and larger + 3/16 in. (4.8 mm), - 1/16 in. (1.6mm)
4.2.1.7 Bolt-circle diameter +- 1/16 in. (1.6 mm)
4.2.1.8 Bolt-hole spacing +- 1/32 in. (0.79 mm)
4.2.2 Facing. Flanges of all classes shall be flat faced--that is, without projection or raised face. Either a
serrated concentric or serrated spiral finish having 24 to 55 grooves/in. (0.94 to 2.17 grooves/mm) shall be
used. The cutting tool employed shall have a radius of 0.06 in. (1.52 mm) or larger. The resultant surface
finish shall have a 250- to 500-in. (6.35- to 12.7-m) roughness.
4.2.2.2 Flange faces shall be free of lining and coating materials except that a soluble rust preventive
compound is permitted. The gasket seating surface shall not have protrusions.
4.2.3 Drilling. Drilling templates shall be in multiples of four so that fittings can be made to face any quarter. Bolt holes shall straddle the center line, except where special mating conditions exist. For flanges up
to 84 in. (2,100 mm) in diameter, bolt holes shall be drilled 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) larger in diameter than the
nominal diameter of the bolt. For flanges larger than 84 in. (2,100 mm) diameter, bolt holes shall be drilled
3/16 in. (4.8 mm) larger than the nominal bolt diameter. Bolt holes may be overdrilled by an additional
1/8 in. (3.2 mm) to accommodate insulators or to facilitate alignment with the mating flange.
4.2.4 Segmentation of flanges. Flanges shall be constructed by welding segments together when the OD of
a flange exceeds the width of available plate material (approximately 78-in. [1,950-mm] ID and larger). The
maximum number of segments in a single flange shall be four.
4.2.4.1 Welding of the segments shall be performed in accordance with Sec. 4.3.2 of this standard.
4.2.4.2 Radiographic or ultrasonic testing of all welds is required and shall be performed in accordance
with the governing welding code as described in Sec 4.3.2.
4.2.4.3 If any specimen tested in accordance with the approved procedure fails to meet the requirements, it
shall be repaired using the approved repair procedure and radiographically or ultrasonically tested for conformance. If the retest fails to conform to the requirements, the flange shall be rejected.
4.2.4.4 Segmented flanges shall be stress-relieved by a method acceptable to the purchaser. Stress relieving shall be done after welding and before machining.
4.2.5 Blind flanges. Blind flange thicknesses shall be as set forth in Table 7. For blind flanges over 48-in.
(1,200-mm) nominal diameter, it is recommended that a combination of a ring flange and a flanged and
dished head, suitable for the pressure and design conditions, be used. Blind flanges shall be machine
faced to match the mating flange. The thickness shown in Table 7 is after machining.

Why use Stainless steel and not carbon steel?

Stainless steel is more cost effective. The decision to specify stainless steel over carbon
steel must be carefully weighed with corrosion, heat-transfer, durability, mechanical
properties and cost in mind.
Increasingly, designers are making these decisions based on service lifetime costing
methods rather than traditional initial costing methods. In most cases, when the total
service lifetime of the part is considered, stainless steel is by far the more economical
alternative.

Why use plate flanges instead of forged or cast flanges?

Hot-rolled stainless steel plate has a better grain structure and is virtually free of
nonmetallic inclusions. While chemically identical to cast and forged products, plate
products have superior mechanical properties which give them increased durability and
corrosion resistance.
Do you offer a Just In Time service?

Yes, Stainless Processing incorporates the latest advances in technology and design
to cover virtually all of your delivery needs at no extra cost to you.
Can I weld stainless steel plate flanges to carbon steel?

Yes, be sure to use the correct weld filler material and follow the American Welding
Society (AWS) recommended practices to ensure the joint will have the optimum
mechanical and corrosion properties.
