LESSON OBJECTIVE

A. Student become familiar with different:


• Pressure Class Rating
• Flange Facings
• Types of Flanges
A. Draw a simple isometric, fully
dimensioned with all necessary callouts
Lesson Outline:
• Flanges: General Purpose
• Material & Rating of Flanges
• Flange Facings
• Types of Flanges
• Drawing representation
Flanges: Basically used as
dismantling joints
1. For periodic inspection
2. In pipe runs that may require
replacement
3. At equipment tie-ins
4. At end of headers for future expansions
Material & Rating of Flanges

Flanges are made of several different


types of material, the most common
being steel and cast iron.
iron
Flange Rating: the maximum pressure
the code for pressure piping allows at a
specified temperature.
(also known as pressure class rating)

•Chart shows pressure and temperature limitations based on type of
material.
•Pressure-Temperature have an inverse relationship. When pressure
increases, the temperature decreases and vice versa.

Flange Facings: Actual contact

1. Raised Face = RF
2. Flat Face = FF
3. Ring Joint = RJ
Common Flange Facings
Y Y Raised Face:
•The raised face is most
commonly used.
•The raised face is 1/16”
high for flanges of
150#,250#, and 300#
ratings.
•The raised face is 1/4”
high for all flanges with
a rating above 300#.

Flat Face:
•Flat face flanges are used for mating with nonsteel flanges on pumps
and for mating with 125# and 250# cast iron flanges
•Flat face flanges are generally 150# and 300# steel flanges.
CAST IRON FLANGE BREAKAGE
FACT :
Cast iron flanges are brittle and cracking can occur.
PROBLEM :
Joining steel pipe flange to cast iron flanged valves,
pumps, or other equipment.
SOLUTION :
Always mate flat face steel flange
to flat face cast iron flange.
CAUTION :
Do not over torque bolts.
Cracking is still possible
due to the brittle nature
of cast iron flanges.
Ring Joint
Flange
•More expensive facing $ $ $
•Primarily used in high pressure
and high temperature services.
•Steel ring gasket serves as a seal.
•Only one ring required for each
pair of flanges.
•Disadvantage: Dismantling
requires flanges to be spread apart
to pass the ring for removal. In
tight hook-ups, this could present a
problem.
Types of Flanges:
1. Weld neck • Ring Joint
2. Slip on • Threaded
3. Reducing slip on • Socketweld
4. Lap joint(w/stub end) • Blind

“All flanges make a bolted joint, which can be broken


apart. Flanges are expensive, and the good “piper” will
use them only where necessary. Piping specifications will
indicate when to use flanges. The student must also
remember the basic flange types.”
Weld Neck Flange

Butt welded to pipe


Long tapered hub
provides reinforcement
for added strength at
the flange
Slip-On Flanges
FITS OVER PIPE OR FITTING
EXTERNAL
WELD REQUIRES TWO WELDS
ADVANTAGE:
Permits a shorter hookup
at equipment when space
limitations do not allow a
INTERNAL
WELD weld neck flange.

DISADVANTAGE:
Use of the flange under
fatigue conditions are about
one third that of a weld neck.

USE FOR REDUCING LINE SIZE
WHERE SPACE LIMITATIONS
WILL NOT ALLOW THE USE OF

COMBINATION.

PREFERRED INSTALLATION:
Flow coming from small size
to large.
(If flow is opposite, the
smaller end would cause
turbulence or excessive
pressure drop at that point.
This should be avoided
whenever possible)

SEE CATALOG FOR DIMENSIONS


Socketweld Flange

Pipe is inserted into the socket and welded


at the flange hub.
An inside weld at the pipe end is
frequently made for greater strength.
Most commonly used in sizes 2” and
smaller.
Threaded Flanges

Normally used in 2” sizes and smaller.


Frequently used in lower temperature &
pressure systems.
Blind Flange

Used to blank off the ends of:


 Piping systems
 Valves
 Pressure vessel openings
Lap Joint Stub End Flange

BUTT WELD

STUB END

LAP JOINT FLANGE


Used in piping systems of services that require
stainless steel pipe and fittings.
Flange may be carbon steel and only the stub end
need be of the line material
Also used in services requiring frequent dismantling
for inspection and cleaning.

BOLT HOLE PATTERN AND LOCATION
RULE: 1. Bolt holes shall straddle the centerlines.
2. Always an even number of holes, in graduations of 4
3. Divide number of bolt holes into 360 degrees for angular
location. Example: Bolt holes = 8
360 degrees divided by 8 = 45 degrees
1st bolt hole shall be 22 ½ degrees from
centerline (Shown below)
