    The document contains 3 interpretations from the ASME B16.5-2003 standard regarding flange thickness requirements. The first interpretation specifies that the minimum thickness for lapped joint flanges is the dimension C listed in tables 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and 27 and is subject to the tolerances in paragraph 7.4. The second interpretation states that flanges are required to be marked with B16 but marking with B16.5 instead would still be conforming. The third interpretation indicates that flange thickness is not allowed to taper to the edge and be less than the thickness C dimension listed in the tables, according to the tolerances in paragraph 7.

    5-2003

    4-15, 4-16, 4-17

    Interpretation: 4-15 Subject: Lapped Joint Flanges Thickness Date Issued: February 1, 2002 File: B16-C-01-02 Question: What minimum thickness does ASME B16.5-1996, 1998 Addenda (a), require for lapped joint flanges? Reply: Dimension C as shown in Tables 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, and 27. See para. 7.4 for tolerance.

    Interpretation: 4-16 Subject: Marking Requirements Date Issued: February 20, 2002 File: B16-C-01-03 Question (1): According to B16.5-1996, 1998 Addenda (a), is it required that the designation B16 or the designation B16.5 be marked on the flange? Reply (1): It is required that B16 be marked on the flange. See para. 4.1.4. Question (2): Does marking B16.5 in lieu of B16, as required, render the flange nonconforming to ASME B16.5-1996, 1998 Addenda (a)? Reply (2): No.

    Interpretation: 4-17 Subject: Flange Thickness Date Issued: September 2, 2002 File: 02-02830 Question: According to ASME B16.5-1996 edition, 1998 Addenda (a), is it acceptable for the flange thickness to taper to the edge and be thinner than the flange thickness C dimension listed in the dimensional tables? Reply: No. See para. 7, Tolerances.
