FLANGES GENERAL
A flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment to form a piping
system. It also provides easy access for cleaning, inspection or modification. Flanges are usually
welded or screwed. Flanged joints are made by bolting together two flanges with a gasket between
them to provide a seal.

Pipe flanges are manufactured in all the different materials. Some flanges are made of cast and ductile
iron, but the most used material is forged carbon steel and have machined surfaces.

TYPES OF FLANGES
The most used flange types in Petro and chemical industry are:
Welding Neck Flange
Slip On Flange
Socket Weld Flange
Lap Joint Flange
Threaded Flange
Blind Flange
All types except the Lap Joint flange are provided with a raised flange face.


SPECIAL FLANGES
Except the flanges, which are mentioned above, there are still a number of special flanges such as:
Orifice Flanges
Spectacle Blinds (part of flange connection)
Spades and Ring Spacers (part of flange connection)
Long Welding Neck Flanges
Weldoflange / Nipoflange
Expander Flange
Reducing Flange

MATERIALS FOR FLANGES
The most common materials used in flanges produced is carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron,
aluminium, brass, bronze, plastic etc..
In addition, flanges, like fittings and pipes, for specific purposes sometimes internally equipped with
layers of materials of a completely different quality as the flanges themselves, which are
"lined flanges".
The material of a flange, is basically set during the choice of the pipe, in most cases, a flange is of the
same material as the pipe.
All flanges, discussed on this website fall under the ASME en ASTM standards, unless otherwise
indicated. ASME B16.5 describes dimensions, dimensional tolerances etc. and ASTM the different
material qualities.

DIMENSIOS OF FLANGES
Each flange according to ASME B16.5 has a number of standard dimensions.
If a draftsman in Japan or the work preparer in Canada or a pipefitter in Australia is speaking about a
Welding Neck flange 6"-150#-S40 according to ASME B16.5, then it goes over the flange which in the
image here below is shown.

If the flange is ordered, the supplier want to know the material quality. For example ASTM A105 is a
forged carbon steel flange, while A182 is a forged stainless steel flange.
So, in a correct order to a supplier two standards must be specified:
Welding Neck flange 6"-150#-S40-ASME B16.5 / ASTM A105.

BOLTED FLANGE CONNECTIONS
A bolted flange connection is a complex combination of many factors (Flange, Bolts, Process,
Temperature, Pressure, Medium).

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
All these various elements are interrelated and depend upon one another to achieve a successful
result.
The reliability of the flanged joint depends critically upon competent control of the joint making
process.
Quoting from John H. Bickford's book, "An Introduction to the Design and Behavior of Bolted
Joints":
That all important clamping force which holds the joint together - and without which there would be
no joint - is not created by a good joint designer, nor by high quality parts. It is created by the
mechanic on the job site, using the tools, procedures, and working conditions we have provided him
with... And further: The final, essential creator of the force is the mechanic, and the time of creation is
during assembly. So it's very important for us to understand this process.

The industry has recognized the critical nature of installation and assembly for several years.
In Europe, the emphasis has been on ensuring that joint making is undertaken by trained and
validated technicians and this has led to the publication of a European Technical standard: TS EN 1591
Part 4 entitled "Flanges and their joints. Design rules for gasketed circular flange connections.
Qualification of personnel competency in the assembly of bolted joints fitted to equipment subject to
the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED)".
The standard provides a methodology for the training and assessment of technicians involved in the
making and breaking of flange joints and can be viewed as being analogous to the training required
for welders involved with pressure vessel work. Its publication demonstrates the importance placed
upon the competent control of joint making process in ensuring leak-free performance from the
flange.
The gasket is but one of many reasons a bolted flange joint connection can leak.
Even when all the complex inter-related components of a bolted joint flange connection work in
perfect harmony, the single most important factor leading to success or failure of that bolted flange
connection will be attention given to proper installation and assembly procedures by the person
installing the gasket. If done properly, the assembly will remain leak-free for the target life
expectancy.

FLANGED CONNECTIONS VERSUS WELDED CONNECTIONS
There are no standards that define whether or not flange connections may be used.
In a newly built factory is customary to minimize flange connections, because only one weld is needed
to connect two pieces of pipe.
This saves the costs of two flanges, the gasket, the stud bolts, the second weld, the cost of NDT for
the second weld, etc..
Some other disadvantages of flange connections:
Each flange connection can leak (some people claim that a flange connection is never 100 percent
leak proof).

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
Flanged pipe systems need much more space (just think of a pipe rack).
Insulation of flanged pipe systems is more expensive (special flange caps).
Of course, flange connections have great benefits; some examples:
A new line can contain multiple pipe spools and can be manufactured in a workshop.
This pipe spools can be assembled in the plant without the need to be welded.
NDO (X-ray, Hydro test etc.) in the plant is not necessary, because this has been done in the
workshop.
Blasting and painting in the plant is not necessary, because even this has been done in a workshop
(only paint damages during installation should be repaired).
As with many things, everything has its pros and cons.

PRESSURE CLASS
The Pressure Class or Rating for flanges will be given in pounds. Different names are used to indicate
a Pressure Class. For example: 150 Lb or 150 Lbs or 150# or Class 150, all are means the same.
Forged steel flanges are made in seven primary ratings:
150Lbs - 300Lbs - 400Lbs - 600Lbs - 900Lbs - 1500Lbs - 2500Lbs
The concept of flange ratings likes clearly. A Class 300 flange can handle more pressure than a Class
150 flange, because a Class 300 flange are constructed with more metal and can withstand more
pressure. However, there are a number of factors that can impact the pressure capability of a flange.

EXAMPLE
Flanges can withstand different pressures at different temperatures. As temperature increases, the
pressure rating of the flange decreases. For example, a Class 150 flange is rated to approximately 270
PSIG at ambient conditions, 180 PSIG at approximately 400F, 150 PSIG at approximately 600F, and
75 PSIG at approximately 800F. In other words, when the pressure goes down, the temperature goes
up and vice versa.
Additional factors are that flanges can be constructed from different materials, such as stainless steel,
cast and ductile iron, carbon steel etc.. Each material have different pressure ratings.

PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS
Pressure-temperature ratings are maximum allowable working gage pressures in bar units at the
temperatures in degrees celsius. For intermediate temperatures, linear interpolation is permitted.
Interpolation between class designations is not permitted.
Pressure-temperature ratings apply to flanged joints that conform to the limitations on bolting and on
gaskets, which are made up in accordance with good practice for alignment and assembly. Use of
these ratings for flanged joints not conforming to these limitations is the responsibility of the user.
The temperature shown for a corresponding pressure rating is the temperature of the pressure-
containing shell of the component. In general, this temperature is the same as that of the contained


6

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
fluid. Use of a pressure rating corresponding to a temperature other than that of the contained fluid is
the responsibility of the user, subject to the requirements of applicable codes and regulations. For any
temperature below -29C, the rating shall be no greater than the rating shown for -29C.
As an example, below you will find two tables with material groups acc. to ASTM, and two other tables
with flange pressure-temperature ratings for those ASTM materials acc. to ASME B16.5.

FLANGE TYPES
As already before described, the most used flange types acc.
to ASME B16.5 are: Welding Neck, Slip On, Socket Weld,
Lap Joint, Threaded and Blind flange.
Here below you will find a short description and definition of
each type, completed with an detailed image.

WELDING NECK FLANGE
Welding Neck Flanges are easy to recognize at the long
tapered hub, that goes gradually over to the wall thickness
from a pipe or fitting.
The long tapered hub provides an important reinforcement
for use in several applications involving high pressure, sub-
zero and / or elevated temperatures. The smooth transition
from flange thickness to pipe or fitting wall thickness effected

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
by the taper is extremely beneficial, under conditions of repeated bending, caused by line expansion
or other variable forces.
These flanges are bored to match the inside diameter of the mating pipe or fitting so there will be no
restriction of product flow. This prevents turbulence at the joint and reduces erosion. They also
provide excellent stress distribution through the tapered hub and are easily radiographed for flaw
detection. This flange type will be welded to a pipe or fitting with a single full penetration, V weld
(Buttweld).

SLIP On FLANGE
The calculated strength from a
Slip On flange under internal
pressure is of the order of two-
thirds that of welding neck flanges,
and their life under fatigue is about
one-third that of the latter.
The connection with the pipe is
done with 2 fillet welds, as well at
the outside as also at the inside of the flange. The X measure on the image, are approximately: Wall
thickness of pipe + 3 mm.
This space is necessary, to do not damage the flange face, during the welding process.
A disadvantage of the flange is, that principle always firstly a pipe must be welded and then just a
fitting. A combination of flange and elbow or flange and tee is not possible, because named fittings
have not a straight end, that complete slid in the Slip On flange.

Socket Weld FLANGE
Socket Weld flanges were initially
developed for use on small-size
high pressure piping. Their static
strength is equal to Slip On
flanges, but their fatigue strength
50% greater than double-welded
Slip On flanges.
The connection with the pipe is done with 1 fillet weld, at the outside of the flange. But before
welding, a space must be created between flange or fitting and pipe.
ASME B31.1 1998 127.3 Preparation for Welding (E) Socket Weld Assembly says:
In assembly of the joint before welding, the pipe or tube shall be inserted into the socket to the
maximum depth and then withdrawn approximately 1/16" (1.6 mm) away from contact between the
end of the pipe and the shoulder of the socket.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
The purpose for the bottoming clearance in a socket weld is usually to reduce the residual stress at
the root of the weld that could occur during solidification of the weld metal. The image shows you the
X measure for the expansion gap.
The disadvantage of this flange is right the gap, that must be made. By corrosive products, and
mainly in stainless steel pipe systems, the crack between pipe and flange can give corrosion problems.
In some processes this flange is also not allowed. I am not an expert in this matter, but on the
internet, you will find a lot of information about forms of corrosion.
Also for this flange counts, that principle always firstly a pipe must be welded and then just a fitting.

Lap Joint FLANGE
Lap Joint Flanges have all the
same common dimensions as any
other flange named on this page
however it does not have a raised
face, they used in conjunction with
a "Lap Joint Stub End".
These flanges are nearly identical
to a Slip On flange with the
exception of a radius at the
intersection of the flange face and the bore to accommodate the flanged portion of the stub end.
Their pressure-holding ability is little, if any, better than that of Slip On flanges and the fatigue life for
the assembly is only one tenth that of welding neck flanges.
They may be used at all pressures and are available in a full size range. These flanges slip over the
pipe, and are not welded or otherwise fastened to it. Bolting pressure is transmitted to the gasket by
the pressure of the flange against the back of the pipe lap (Stub End).
Lap Joint flanges have certain special advantages:
Freedom to swivel around the pipe facilitates the lining up of opposing flange bolt holes.
Lack of contact with the fluid in the pipe often permits the use of inexpensive carbon steel
flanges with corrosion resistant pipe.
In systems which erode or corrode quickly, the flanges may be salvaged for re-use.

Stub End
A Stub End always will be used with a Lap Joint flange, as
a backing flange.
This flange connections are applied, in low-pressure and
non critical applications, and is a cheap method of
flanging.
In a stainless steel pipe system, for example, a carbon
steel flange can be applied, because they are not come in

contact with the product in the pipe.
Stub Ends are available in almost all pipe diameters. Dimensions and dimensional tolerances are
defined in the ASME B.16.9 standard. Light-weight corrosion resistant Stub Ends (fittings) are defined
in MSS SP43.

THREADED FLANGE
Threaded Flanges are used for
special circumstances with their
main advantage being that they
can be attached to the pipe
without welding. Sometimes a seal
weld is also used in conjunction
with the threaded connection.
Although still available in most
sizes and pressure ratings,
screwed fittings today are used almost exclusively in smaller pipe sizes.
A threaded flange or fitting is not suitable for a pipe system with thin wall thickness, because cutting
thread on a pipe is not possible. Thus, thicker wall thickness must be chosen...what is thicker ?
ASME B31.3 Piping Guide says:
Where steel pipe is threaded and used for steam service above 250 psi or for water service above 100
psi with water temperatures above 220 F, the pipe shall be seamless and have a thickness at least
equal to schedule 80 of ASME B36.10.

BLIND FLANGE
Blind Flanges are manufactured without a bore and used
to blank off the ends of piping, valves and pressure
vessel openings.
From the standpoint of internal pressure and bolt
loading, blind flanges, particularly in the larger sizes, are
the most highly stressed flange types.
However, most of these stresses are bending types near
the center, and since there is no standard inside
diameter, these flanges are suitable for higher pressure
temperature applications.

FLANGE FACES
Different types of flange faces are used as the contact surfaces to seat the sealing gasket material.
ASME B16.5 and B16.47 define various types of flange facings, including the raised face, the large
male and female facings which have identical dimensions to provide a relatively large contact area.
Other flange facings covered by these standards include the large and small tongue-and-groove
facings, and the ring joint facing specifically for ring joint type metal gaskets.

RAISED FACE (RF)
The raised face flange face is the most common type used in process plant applications, and is
easily to identify. It is referred to as a raised face because the gasket surfaces are raised above the
bolting circle face. This face type allows the use of a wide combination of gasket designs, including flat
ring sheet types and metallic composites such as spiral wound and double jacketed types. The
purpose of a RF flange is to concentrate more pressure on a smaller gasket area and thereby increase
the pressure containment capability of the joint. Diameter and height are in ASME B16.5 defined, by
pressure class and diameter. Pressure rating of the flange determines the height of the raised face.
The typical flange face finish for ASME B16.5 RF flanges is 125 to 250 in Ra (3 to 6 m Ra).

Raised Face height
For the height measures H and B of all
described dimensions of flanges on this
website, with exception of the Lap Joint
flange, it is important to understand and
remember the following:

In Pressure Classes 150 and 300 Lbs, the height of raised face is approximately 1.6 mm (1/16 inch).
In these two Pressure Classes, almost all suppliers of flanges, show in their catalog or brochure, the
H and B dimensions including the raised face height. See figure 1 on the image below.



12

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
In Pressure Classes 400, 600, 900, 1500 & 2500 Lbs, the height of raised face is approximately
6.4 mm (1/4 inch). In these Pressure Classes, most suppliers show the H and B dimensions excluding
the raised face height. See figure 2 on the image above.

FLAT FACE (FF)
The flat face flange has a gasket
surface in the same plane as the
bolting circle face. Applications
using flat face flanges are
frequently those in which the
mating flange or flanged fitting is made from a casting.
Flat face flanges are never to be bolted to a raised face flange. ASME B31.1 says that when connecting
flat face cast iron flanges to carbon steel flanges, the raised face on the carbon steel flange must be
removed, and that a full face gasket is required. This is to keep the thin, bittle cast iron flange from
being sprung into the gap caused by the raised face of the carbon steel flange.

RING-TYPE JOINT (RTJ)
The ring type joint flanges are
typically used in high pressure
(Class 600 and higher rating)
and/or high temperature services
above 800F (427C). They have
grooves cut into their faces which
steel ring gaskets. The flanges seal when tightened bolts compress the gasket between the flanges
into the grooves, deforming (or Coining) the gasket to make intimate contact inside the grooves,
creating a metal to metal seal.
An RTJ flange may have a raised face with a ring groove machined into it. This raised face does not
serve as any part of the sealing means. For RTJ flanges that seal with ring gaskets, the raised faces of
the connected and tightened flanges may contact each other. In this case the compressed gasket will
not bear additional load beyond the bolt tension, vibration and movement cannot further crush the
gasket and lessen the connecting tension.

Ring Type Joint gaskets
Ring Type Joint gaskets are metallic
sealing rings, suitable for high-pressure
and high-temperature applications.
They are always applied to special,
accompanying flanges which ensure


13

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
good, reliable sealing with the correct choice of profiles and material.
Ring Type Joint gaskets are designed to seal by "initial line contact" or wedging action between the
mating flange and the gasket. By applying pressure on the seal interface through bolt force, the
"softer" metal of the gasket flows into the microfine structure of the harder flange material, and
creating a very tight and efficient seal.
Most applied type is style R ring that is manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.20 used with
ASME B16.5 flanges, class 150 to 2500.
Style R ring type joints are manufactured in both oval and octagonal configurations. The octagonal
cross section has a higher sealing efficiency than the oval and would be the preferred gasket.
However, only the oval cross section can be used in the old type round bottom groove. The newer flat
bottom groove design will accept either the oval or the octagonal cross section. The sealing surfaces
on the ring joint grooves must be smoothly finished to 63 Microinches and be free of objectionable
ridges, tool or chatter marks. They seal by an initial line contact or a wedging action as the
compressive forces are applied. The hardness of the ring should always be less than the hardness of
the flanges.
Style R ring type joints are designed to seal pressure up to 6,250 psi in accordance with ASME B16.5
pressure ratings and up to 5,000 psi.

TONGUE-AND-GROOVE (T&G)
The tongue and groove faces
of this flanges must be matched.
One flange face has a raised ring
(Tongue) machined onto the flange
face while the mating flange has a
matching depression (Groove) machined into it's face.
Tongue-and-groove facings are standardized in both large and small types. They differ from male-and-
female in that the inside diameters of the tongue-and-groove do not extend into the flange base, thus
retaining the gasket on its inner and outer diameter. These are commonly found on pump covers and
valve bonnets.
Tongue-and-groove joints also have an advantage in that they are self-aligning and act as a reservoir
for the adhesive. The scarf joint keeps the axis of loading in line with the joint and does not require a
major machining operation.
General flange faces such as the RTJ, T&G and the F&M shall never be bolted together. The reason for
this is that the contact surfaces do not match and there is no gasket that has one type on one side
and another type on the other side.






14

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
MALE-AND-FEMALE (M&F)
With this type the flanges also must be matched. One flange face has an area that extends beyond the
normal flange face (Male). The other flange or mating flange has a matching depression (Female)
machined into it's face.
The female face is 3/16-inch deep, the male face is 1/4-inch high, and both are smooth finished. The
outer diameter of the female face acts to locate and retain the gasket. Custom male and female
facings are commonly found on the heat exchanger shell to channel and cover flanges.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF T&G AND M&F FLANGE FACES
Advantages:
Better sealing properties, more precise location and exact compression af sealing material, utilization
of other, more suitable sealing and spezialized sealing material (O-rings).
Disadvantages:
Commercial availabillity and cost. Normal raised faced is far more common and ready available both
regarding valves, flanges and sealing material. Another complexity is that some rigid rules must be
applied to the piping design. Do you order valves to be female end both sides, or on one side maybe,
in which case do you point all male ends in the flow direction, or what. Same applies to any flanged
joint / vessel connection of course.

FLANGE FACE FINISH
The ASME B16.5 code requires that the flange face (raised
face and flat face) has a specific roughness to ensure that
this surface be compatible with the gasket and provide a
high quality seal.

A serrated finish, either concentric or spiral, is required with
30 to 55 grooves per inch and a resultant roughness
between 125 and 500 micro inches. This allows for various
grades of surface finish to be made available by flange
manufactures for the gasket contact surface of metal
flanges.

THE MOST USED SURFACES ARE
Stock Finish
The most widely used of any flange surface finish, because practically, is suitable for all ordinary
service conditions. Under compression, the soft face from a gasket will embed into this finish, which
helps create a seal, and a high level of friction is generated between the mating surfaces. The finish
for these flanges is generated by a 1.6 mm radius round-nosed tool at a feed rate of 0.8 mm per


15

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
revolution up to 12 inch. For sizes 14 inch and larger, the finish is made with
3.2 mm round-nosed tool at a feed of 1.2 mm per revolution.
Spiral Serrated
This is also a continuous or phonographic spiral groove, but it differs from the
stock finish in that the groove typically is generated using a 90-deg tool which
creates a "V" geometry with 45 angled serration.

Concentric Serrated
As the name suggests, this finish is comprised of concentric grooves. A 90
tool is used and the serrations are spaced evenly across the face.

Smooth Finish
This finish shows no visually apparent tool markings. These finishes are
typically utilized for gaskets with metal facings such as double jacketed, flat
steel and corrugated metal. The smooth surfaces mate to create a seal and
depend on the flatness of the opposing faces to effect a seal. This is typically
achieved by having the gasket contact surface formed by a continuous
(sometimes called phonographic) spiral groove generated by a 0.8 mm radius
round-nosed tool at a feed rate of 0.3 mm per revolution with a depth of 0.05
mm. This will result in a roughness between Ra 3.2 and 6.3 micrometers (125
- 250 micro inch).

GASKETS
To realize a leak-free flange connection gaskets are
necessary.
Gaskets are compressible sheets or rings used to make a
fluid-resistant seal between two surfaces. Gaskets are
built to operate under extreme temperature and pressures
and are available in a wide range of metallic, semi-metallic
and non-metallic materials.
The principle of sealing, for example, is the compression from a gasket between two flanges. A
gaskets fills the microscopic spaces and irregularities of the flange faces and then it forms a seal that
is designed to keep liquids and gases. Correct installation of damage free gaskets is a requirement for
a leak-free flange connection.
On this website gaskets according to ASME B16.20 (Metallic and semi-metallic gaskets for Pipe
flanges) and ASME B16.21 (Nonmetallic flat gaskets for pipe flanges) will be defined.

WHAT IS A FLANGE GASKET
Flange gaskets are used to create a static seal between two flanges faces, at various operating
conditions, with varied pressure and temperature ratings.
A gaskets fills the microscopic spaces and irregularities of the flange faces, and then it forms a seal
that is designed to keep liquids and gases.
Correct installation of damage-free gaskets and demage-free flange faces is a requirement for a leak-
free flange connection.
If it would be technically possible, in order to manufacture flanges perfectly flat and smooth, and
perfectly compatible with one another under all operating conditions, a gasket would not be
necessary.
But in normal practice it is not possible, because flange connections under ANY circumstances should
be made. Small impurities and a small bit of dirt, is in practice not be avoided and therefore it is
necessary to use a gasket.

TYPES OF GASKETS
Materials for gaskets can be divided into three main categories:
Non-metallic types
Semi-metallic types
Metallic types
Non-metallic gaskets are usually
composite sheet materials are used with
flat-face and raised-face flanges in low
Pressure Class applications. Non-metallic
gaskets are manufactured from arimid
fiber, glass fiber, elastomer, Teflon (PTFE),
graphite etc.. Full-face gasket types are
suitable for use with flat-face flanges. Flat-ring gasket types are suitable for use with raised face
flanges.
ASME B16.21 covers types, sizes, materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances, and markings for
non-metallic flat gaskets.
Semi-metallic gaskets are composites of metal and
non-metallic materials. The metal is intended to offer
strength and resiliency, while the non-metallic portion
provides conformability and sealability. Often used
semi-metallic gaskets are spiral wound and camprofile,
and a variety of metal-reinforced graphite gaskets.
Semi-metallic are designed for almost all operating


17

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
conditions and high-temperature and pressure applications, and are used on raised face, male-and-
female, and tongue-and-groove flanges.
ASME B16.20 covers materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances, and markings for metallic and
semi-metallic gaskets.
Metallic gaskets are fabricated from
one or a combination of metals to the
desired shape and size. Often used
metallic gaskets are ring-type-joint
gaskets (RTJ). They are always applied
to special, accompanying flanges which
ensure good, reliable sealing with the
correct choice of profiles and material.
Ring Type Joint gaskets are designed to seal by "initial line contact" or wedging action between the
mating flange and the gasket. By applying pressure on the seal interface through bolt force, the
"softer" metal of the gasket flows into the microfine structure of the harder flange material, and
creating a very tight and efficient seal.
ASME B16.20 covers materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances, and markings for metallic and
semi-metallic gaskets.

OFTEN USED SEMI-METALLIC
GASKETS
Here below you will find a short
description of a number of semi-
metallic gaskets, which are largely
used. For information on other
types, I refer to the World Wide
Web. There you can find a lot of
reliable information about gaskets.
Spiral wound gaskets
The spiral wound gasket meets the
most exacting conditions of both
temperature and pressure in
flanged joints and similar
assemblies and against every known corrosive and toxic media.


18

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
The spiral wound gasket depends upon the mechanical characteristics of a formed metal spiral strip,
rather than the compressive virtues of more traditional gasket materials. This makes it particularly
suitable for low or fluctuating bolt loads. The sealing strips, or fillers, are usually graphite, although
other materials such as Teflon (PTFE) may be used, the windings are always stainless steel. For this
type of gasket to work the spiral must not be over compressed, hence one of two types of
compression control is usually used.
The completed gasket is fitted into a steel ring of specific thickness. When the gasket is fitted into a
flange and the bolt load is applied, flange closure is governed by the outer steel ring of the gasket. To
further improve the pressure rating of the spiral wound gasket, a steel ring may be added to the
inside. This gives an additional compression limiting stop and provides a heat and corrosion barrier
protecting gasket windings and preventing flange erosion. It is customary to select inner ring material
to be the same as the metal winding.
ASME B16.20 which covers spiral wound gaskets requires the use of solid metal inner rings in:
Pressure Class 900, nominal pipe sizes 24 and larger, Pressure Class 1500 from nominal pipe sizes 12
and larger, Pressure Class 2500 from nominal pipe sizes 4 and larger and all PTFE filled gaskets. In
the same standard is also described how a spiral wound gasket should be characterized, below you will
find an image on it.

Camprofile gaskets
Camprofile or "Grooved" gaskets have proven themselves in all industrial applications. Camprofile
gaskets are found in industrial power plants and in the primary circuits in nuclear installations. Used
either between flanges or in heat exchanger units in nuclear applications. The Petro and chemical
industry benefit too, as the gaskets are used in applications where high pressures and temperatures
are maintained and consequently high bolt loads need to be controlled.
Camprofile gaskets consist of a metal core (generally Stainless Steel) with concentric grooves on
either side with sealing materials. The sealing layers (depending on the service duty) can be Graphite,
PTFE (Teflon), CAF or Metal (e.g. Aluminium or Silver). Camprofile's can be used without sealing
layers to provide an excellent seal but there is a risk of flange surface damage - especially at high
seating loads. The sealing layers protect the flange surfaces from damage in addition to providing an
effective seal. In the main Menu "Others" you will find a link to the dimensions of that kind of grooved
gasket.
Metal jacketed gaskets
Metal Jacketed gaskets, as the name suggests, are comprised of a metallic outer shell with either a
metallic or non-metallic filler. The filler material gives the gasket resilience, while the metal jacket
protects the filler and resists pressures, temperatures and corrosion.


19

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
They are traditionally used for heat exchanger applications, pumps and valves, however the resilience
and recovery properties of these gaskets are limited. Metal Jacketed gaskets require smooth flange
surface finishes, high bolt loads and flange flatness in order to seal effectively.
There are many different styles of jacketed gaskets available. In the main Menu "Others" you will find
a link to the dimensions of double jacketed flange gaskets. In that type the filler material is completely
enclosed by a two piece metal jacket, which covers both the inside and outside diameters and both
contact surfaces.

BOLTS
To connect two flanges with each other, also bolts are necessary.
The quantity will be given by the number of bolt holes in a flange, diameter and length of bolts is
dependent of flange type and Pressure Class of flange.
The most used bolts in Petro and chemical industry for ASME B16.5 flanges are stud bolts. Stud bolts
are made from a threaded rod and using two nuts. The other available type is the machine bolt that
using one nut. On this site only stud bolts will be discussed.
Dimensions, dimensional tolerances etc. have been defined in the ASME B16.5 and ASME 18.2.2
standard, materials in different ASTM standards.

TYPES OF BOLTS
In Petro and chemical industry for flange connections actually only stud bolts are used, but in
principle, two types of bolts for flange connections are available.
1. Stud bolt
2. Hex bolt
The stud bolt is a threaded rod with 2 heavy hexagon nuts, while the hex bolt has a head with one
nut. Nuts and head are both six sided.

STUD BOLT GENERAL
Stud bolt length are defined in
ASME B16.5 standard. The length in
inches is equal to the effective
thread length measured parallel to
the axis, from the first to the first
thread without the chamfers
(points). First thread is defined as
the intersection of the major
diameter of the thread with the base
of the point.




20

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
Note: The length of metric stud bolts measured parallel to axis, is the distance from each stud bolt,
including the point.

The quantity of bolts for a flange connection will be given by the number of bolt holes in a flange,
diameter and length of bolts is dependent of flange type and Pressure Class of flange.
To allow the use of hydraulic tensioning equipment, larger dimension studs shall be often one
diameter longer than "standard". That bolts to have plastic end cap protection.
Bolts threading are defined in ASME B1.1 Unified Inch Screw Threads, (UN and UNR Thread Form).
The most common thread is a symmetrical form with a V-profile. The included angle is 60. This form
is widely used in the Unified thread (UN, UNC, UNF, UNRC, UNRF) form as the ISO / metric threads.
The advantage of a symmetrical threads is that they are easier to produce and inspect compared with
non-symmetrical threads. These are typically used in general-purpose fasteners.
Thread series cover designations of diameter/pitch combinations that are measured by the number of
threads per inch (TPI) applied to a single diameter.
Standard Thread Pitches
Coarse thread series (UNC/UNRC) is the most widely used thread system and applied in most of
the screws, bolts and nuts. Coarse threads are used for threads in low strength materials such as
iron, mild steel, copper and softer alloy, aluminium, etc.. The coarse thread is also more tolerant in
adverse conditions and facilitate quick assembly.
Fine thread series (UNF/UNRF) is commonly used in precision applications and in there where
require a higher tensile strength than the coarse thread series.
8 - Thread series (8UN) is the specified thread forming method for several ASTM standards
including A193 B7, A193 B8/B8M, and A320. This series is mostly used for diameters one inch and
above.
Hex nuts (dimensional data) are defined in ASME B18.2.2, and even as bolts the threading in ASME
B1.1.
Depending on a customer specification, nuts must be both sites chamfered or with on one side a
washer-face.
The height of a nut for stud bolts are the same as the diameter of the thread rod.

IMAGE of a both sites chamfered nut.

MARKING OF STUDBOLTS
Thread rods and nuts must be marked by the manufacturer with a unique identifier to identify the
manufacturer or private label distributor, as appropriate. Below you will find a number of ASTM
examples.


MATERIALS FOR STUDBOLTS
Dimensions from stud bolts are defined in the ASME B16.5 standard. The material qualities for studs
are defined in the different ASTM standards, and are indicated by Grade. Frequently used grades are
A193 for thread rods and A194 for the nuts.
ASTM A193 covers alloy and stainless steel bolting material for pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and
fittings for high temperature or high pressure service, or other special purpose applications.
ASTM A194 covers a variety of carbon, alloy, and martensitic and austenitic stainless steel nuts. These
nuts are intended for high-pressure or high-temperature service, or both.
Below you will find as an example a table with materials and grades for flanges, thread rods (bolts)
and nuts, arranged on design temperature, flanges, thread rods and recommended nuts.

WHAT ARE SPECIAL FLANGES
On this page are the special flanges discussed, and parts that may include a flange connection. Special
Flanges are basically identical to standard flanges, but have a number of special features.

ORIFICE FLANGE
Orifice Flanges are intended for use instead of standard pipe flanges when an orifice plate or flow
nozzle must be installed. Pairs of pressure "Tappings", mostly on 2 sides, directly opposite each other,
are machined into the orifice flange. This makes separate orifice carriers or tappings in the pipe wall
unnecessary.
On the image above a set Orifice Flanges is
shown, where the tappings are sealed with a plug,
and where a jack screw is machined. This jack
screw is used to facilitate separating the flanges
for inspection or replacement of the "Orifice Plate"
and gaskets.
The range of orifice flanges covers all standard
sizes and ranges, and all common flange
materials. Flanges are available in Welding Neck,
Slip On, and Threaded form, and are typically
supplied with two " NPT tappings in each flange.
ASME B16.36 covers Dimensions and
dimensional tolerances from orifice flanges
(similar to those covered in ASME B16.5) that
have orifice pressure differential connections.
Coverage is limited to the following flanges:
Welding Neck Classes 300, 400, 600, 900,
1500, 2500
Slip On Class 300
Threaded Class 300

ORIFICE PLATE
An Orifice Plate is typically a circular, flat plate with a handle. The most common orifice plate is the
square-edged concentric bored orifice plate, others are Eccentric Orifice Plate, Segmental Orifice Plate
etc. and typically, it is made of a durable metal such as stainless steel.
The American National Pipe Thread Tapered
NPT is the best known and most widely used connection where the pipe
thread provides both the mechanical joint and the hydraulic seal. NPT has
a tapered male and female thread which seals with Teflon tape or jointing
compound.
ASME B1.20.1 covers dimensions and gaging of NPT pipe threads for
general purpose applications.



24

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
They are normally mounted between a set of Orifice Flanges and are installed in
a straight run of smooth pipe to avoid disturbance of flow patterns from fittings
and valves.
The image of a CROSS-SECTION
of a set of Orifice Flanges, gives you a
good impression.
Orifices Plates are used to create a
differential pressure that relates to
the velocity of the gas from which a
flow rate can be calculated. As the
following gas passes through the
restriction in the line caused by the
orifice plate, the difference in the
upstream and downstream pressure can be
measured at set points, called taps, and a flow rate at
the point can be determined. As the plate serve as a
restriction in a pipeline, then we talk about a Restriction Orifice Plate, abbreviated (RO).

Concentric Orifice Plate
The most common orifice plate is the square-edged concentric bored orifice plate. The concentric
bored orifice plate is the dominant design because of its proven reliability in a variety of applications
and the extensive amount of research conducted on this design. The concentric plate is also easily
reproduced at a relatively low cost.
The concentric orifice is used to measure a wide variety of single phase, liquid and gas products,
typically in conjunction with flange taps.

Eccentric Orifice Plate
Eccentric orifices are used to measure the flow fluids that carry solids and are also used to measure
gases which carry liquids. With the eccentric orifice at the top of the plate, it can measure liquids that
carry gas. It should be noted that the eccentric orifice has a higher degree of uncertainty as compared
to the concentric orifice.

Segmental Orifice Plate
Segmental orifice plates are used to measure the flow of light slurries and fluids with high
concentration of solids. The design of segmental orifice eliminates the damming of foreign matter and
provides more complete drainage than the eccentric orifice plate. The segmental orifice is considerably
more expensive than the eccentric orifice and has slightly greater uncertainty.

SPECTACLE BLINDS
Spectacle Blinds are generally applied to permanently separating pipe systems, or just to connect with
each other.

A Spectacle Blind is a steel
plate cut into two discs of a
certain thickness.
The two discs are attached to
each other by section of steel
similar to the nose piece of a
pair of glasses. One of the
discs is a solid plate, and the
other is a ring, whose inside
diameter is equal to that of a
flange.
Spectacle Blinds be applied in
systems, which regularly need
to be separated from other
installations.
Normally, a Spectacle Blind is mounted in the "open" position so that flow through the pipe is possible.
If the Spectacle Blind in the "close" position is rotated, the pipe is blanked off and no flow is possible.
Maintenance on a pipe system can be a reason to rotate the spectacle in the "close" position. This run
will take place through the hole that is drilled in the connection piece. By loosening of all bolts, and
partial removal of their, the Spectacle Blind can be rotated. After replacing the gaskets (new gaskets
are to recommend), the bolts can be re-assembled and tightened.

SPADES (SINGLE BLINDS) / RING SPACER
Spades and Ring Spacers are basically the same as Spectacle Blinds, except that both are not
attached to each other.



26

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
Spades and Spacers are applied in systems where maintenance is often not necessary, or in
applications with large pipe sizes. Depending on the flange size and the Pressure Class, Spades can
weigh hundreds of pounds. To prevent unnecessary weight to a flange connection, usually will be
chosen not for a Spectacle Blind, but for 2 separate parts.
So as for the Spectacle Blind already described, maintenance on a pipe system can be a reason to
temporarily replace a Ring Spacer for a Spade. By loosening of all bolts, and half of the bolts
temporarily remove, the Spade or Spacer can be placed. After replacing the gaskets (new gaskets are
to recommend), the bolts can be re-assembled and tightened.
A small problem is that we basically cannot see, or a Spade or a Spacer mounted between the flanges.
Therefore the handles are often specially marked, or both have a different design; a customer often
provides its own specification.
What should never lack is, that in the handle, the diameter and the Pressure Class of a Spade or
Spacer is engraved; this applies also for the Spectacle Blind.

SURFACES / DIMENSIONS / MATERIAL
The sealing surfaces of a Spectacle Blind, Spade or Ring Spacer are usually conducted in accordance
with the Face Finish from the flange. The diameter always is slightly larger than the Raised Face of a
flange; by a correct assembly, the bolts are just not touched by the Blind or Spacer.
The diameter of them is depending on the flange size, and the thickness from the Pressure Class of a
flange.
Dimensions from Spectacle Blinds, Spades and Ring Spacers, you will find in the main Menu "Flanges"
ASME B16.48 covers pressure-temperature ratings, materials, dimensions, dimensional tolerances,
marking, and testing for operating line blanks in sizes NPS 1/2 up to NPS 24 for installation between
ASME B16.5 flanges in the 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 Pressure Classes.
Spectacle Blinds, Spades and Ring Spacers should be made from a plate or forging specification,
approved for use by ASME B31.3, of essentially the same chemical composition as the mating flanges
and piping involved.

LONG WELDING NECK FLANGE
Long Neck Welding (abbreviated LWN) flanges are similar to a
standard Welding Neck flange, but the "Neck" is considerably longer.
This type is often used as a nozzle for a barrel or column. In addition,
there are the type LWN Heavy Barrel (HB) and the Equal LWN Barrel
(E); they have a different shape and a thicker "Wall".






27

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Albert Einstein
WELDOFLANGE / NIPOFLANGE
The Weldoflange and Nipoflange is a combination of a Welding Neck flange and a supposedly Weldolet
or Nipolet. The 2 components are manufactured in one piece, and not welded. These flanges are
primarily in Branchconnections.
On the website of Promat BD you can find more information about the various performances,
dimensions etc.. Furthermore, they have an expanded range of special flanges, fittings and branch
connections.

EXPANDER FLANGE
Expander Flanges is a Welding Neck pipe flange where
the nominal size of the non-flanged end is larger than
the nominal size of the flanged end. They can be used
to change the size of a pipe run. These are usually
used to increase the line size to the first or second
larger size. This is an alternative to using a separate
reducer and weld neck flange combination. The
expander flange can be used to connect pipe to pumps,
compressors and valves.

REDUCING FLANGE
Reducing Flanges are suitable for changing line size, but
should not be used if abrupt transition would create
undesirable turbulence, as at pump connections. A
reducing flange consists of a flange with one specified
diameter having a bore of a different and smaller,
diameter. Except for the bore and hub dimensions, the
flange will have dimensions of the larger pipe size.

Method for calculating Stud bolt lengths
The stud bolt theoretical length can be calculated by means of the formula:
L = 2 (s + n + h + rf) + g



s = free threads (equals 1/3 time bolt diameter)
n = nut thickness (equals nominal bolt diameter)
h = flange thickness
rf = height of raised face
for class 150 and class 300 height of raised face is included in h height
g = gasket thickness approximately 3 mm

ASTM GRADES
Dimensions from carbon steel and stainless steel flanges are defined in the ASME B16.5 standard. The
material qualities for these flanges are defined in the ASTM standards.
These ASTM standards, define the specific manufacturing process of the material and determine the
exact chemical composition of pipes, fittings and flanges, through percentages of the permitted
quantities of carbon, magnesium, nickel, etc., and are indicated by "Grade".
For example, a carbon steel flange can be identified with Grade F9 or F11, a stainless-steel flange with
Grade F316 or Grade F321 etc..

Below you will find as an example a table with chemical requirements for flanges according to ASTM
A182 Grade F304, F304L, F316L, and a table with frequent Grades, arranged on pipe and pipe-
components, which belong together as a group.
As you may be have noted, in the table below, ASTM A105 has no Grade. Sometimes ASTM A105N is
described;
"N" stands not for Grade, but for normalized. Normalizing is a type of heat treatment, applicable to
ferrous metals only. The purpose of normalizing is to remove the internal stresses induced by heat
treating, casting, forming etc..
