ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.47 Industrial Pipe Flange Manufacturers

Creative Piping is a leading manufacturer of industrial flanges, dedicated to providing high-quality solutions for piping systems across various sectors. ASME/ANSI B16.5 and B16.47 are standards that specify the dimensions, materials, and design criteria for flanges used in piping systems. ASME/ANSI B16.5 covers pipe flanges and flanged fittings from NPS 1/2 through NPS 24, with pressure classes ranging from 150 to 2500.

ASME/ANSI B16.47 addresses larger diameter flanges from NPS 26 through NPS 60, divided into two series: Series A and Series B. Series A flanges are designed for applications where higher pressure is a factor and therefore have a thicker, more robust construction, making them suitable for high-stress environments. Series B flanges, while still meeting rigorous standards, are typically used in less demanding applications and have a smaller bolt circle than Series A, which can make them more cost-effective. Both standards ensure the flanges meet critical performance criteria for pressure integrity, mechanical strength, and safety, making them essential components in modern industrial piping systems.

01 What are ANSI/ASME B16.5 and B16.47 flanges?

  • ANSI/ASME B16.5 covers pipe flanges and flanged fittings for sizes from NPS 1/2 to NPS 24. It includes materials, pressure-temperature ratings, dimensions, tolerances, marking, and testing.
  • ANSI/ASME B16.47 covers large diameter steel flanges (NPS 26 through NPS 60) in both Series A and Series B, including pressure-temperature ratings, materials, dimensions, tolerances, marking, and testing.
  • Series A (formerly MSS SP-44) flanges are designed for higher pressure and have thicker and heavier designs, making them suitable for critical applications.
  • Series B (formerly API 605) flanges are less thick and lighter, designed for less critical, non-hazardous environments.
  • ASME B16.5 flanges are available in pressure classes 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500.
  • ASME B16.47 flanges come in pressure classes 75, 150, 300, 400, 600, and 900.
