Operating pressure ratings in PSI and unit weights in lbs; flanges mate with ANSI B16.5, B16.1, B16.47, MSSP44.
1. The pressure ratings in this table are for free floating rings on an HDPE stub-end.
2. AWWA 1-D and 3-E are actually 2-D and 4-E respectively in AWWA C207-94 86 version.
3. LJ-DI flanges have the dimensions specified in ANSI B16.5 but are made of ductile iron ASTM A395.
*AWWA C207- 2D flanges will not perform to the 150 psi called out in C207 when used on HDPE stub-ends. This specifica-
tion should read “for steel pipe only.” Do not use AWWA C207-2D to specify flanges for HDPE stub-ends. See page 24 for
details. Compare to IPP Deltaflex® flange operating pressures on each specification sheet.
IPP has thoroughly scrutinized all flange designs with the use of special computer software to determine the Von Mises stress
levels present in all of its flange structures as well as those of national standards.
The comparative weights of IPP Deltaflex® flanges vs some conventional flanges indicates that for any given nominal pipe size, the
IPP Deltaflex® back-up flange is lighter in weight than a conventional lap joint flange. This is due to the innovative geometry
employed by the IPP Deltaflex® flange… it is designed so that the flange material mass is allocated to the exact critical load bearing
locations in the flange structure.

flange flexure rather than bolt elongation. This can help
solve a classic problem of flange gasket leaks or crushing
of the gasket material when a piping system cools down.
If there is no flexibility in the flange, the bolts can be
stressed beyond their yield point during high thermal
excursions. When the system cools down, the bolts return
