Work Instruction – Flange Parellelism Measurement As Per API 6A

Clause

1. Flange Parellelism shall be checked by dial gauge in mm

which varies as per size of diameter of the flange. As per
attached chart distance variation shall be considered.

2. After completion of 1st process operator will check the run

out & face out of the flange by calibrated dial indicator &
visually witnessed by QA/QC.

3. With reference of above inspection, second process shall be

started by operator.

4. While starting the 2nd process run out shall be checked with
reference of flange OD by the calibrated dial gauge & visually
witnessed by QA/QC.

5. After completion of 2nd process face out & run out shall be
checked by operator & QA/QC by calibrated dial gauge.

6. Flange thickness for various positions shall be checked by

operator & QA/QC by calibrated micrometer (for small size
flange) for big size flange it shall be measured by calibrated
dial gauge.
