ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.47 Industrial Pipe Flanges

ASME/ANSI B16.5 and B16.47 are key standards for pipe flanges and flanged fittings used in various industries. ASME/ANSI B16.5 covers pipe flanges and flanged fittings from 1/2" to 24" nominal pipe sizes for classes ranging from 150 to 2500. These flanges are widely used for connecting pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment in industries like oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power plants.

ASME/ANSI B16.47, on the other hand, applies to larger-diameter flanges ranging from 26" to 60" and is divided into two series: Series A (formerly MSS SP-44) for higher strength and heavier applications, and Series B (formerly API 605) for lighter and more compact designs. Both standards ensure reliability, safety, and compatibility in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
