list of the new bore size designations, the old nominal

size designations, and the matching tubular goods sizes
for use with API flanges or clamp type connectors.
Bore diameter of API flanges should be the same inside diameter as the pipe to be used.
API flanges are marked with the API monogram (a registered trademark), size, pressure rating, ring gasket
size, bore, manufacturer, and a heat number. Some API
flanges are marked with the manufacturers' part or assembly numbers. Consult their individual catalogs for respective part numbers and descriptions.
