Diameters and bolt circles for standard ASME B16.5 flanges - 1/4 to 24 inches - 150 psi to 2500 psi
Sponsored Links
Flange dimensions are determined by pipe size and pressure class required for the application. Most of these dimensions have been standardized and published as ASME, MSS, API or other standardization organization specifications.
ASME/ANSI B16.5 provides dimensions and tolerances for flanges in pipe sizes from 1/2" through 24" and in pressure classes from 150 lb through 2500 lb.
