ASME B16.5 (Table 3) & B16.47 (Table 16) for Raised Face (RF) FLANGES

TABLE 16 APPLIES TO ASME B16.47 (SA allows


limited use of ASME B16.47 Flgs, or Class 75)

USE METRIC CONVERSION BELOW


Metric Conversions: .06 = 1.5mm, .12 = 3mm, .18 = 4.5mm, .25 = 6mm, .28 = 7mm, .31 = 8mm, .38 = 10mm,
.50 = 12mm, .56 = 14mm, .62 = 16mm
ASME B16.5 & B16.47 (RFWN FLANGES): Flange Facing Finish Imperfections (5-STEP Evaluation Criteria).
1. Imperfections* in the flange facing finish shall not exceed the dimensions shown in Table 3 (B16.5) & Table 16 (B16.47).
2. Adjacent imperfections are separated by a distance of at least four times maximum radial projection*.
3. *A radial projection shall be measured by the difference between an outer radius & an inner radius encompassing the
imperfection where the radii are struck from the centerline of the bore.
4. Imperfections less than half the depth* of the serrations shall not be considered cause for rejection. Note: Serration Depth
varies from 125-250 microns (.003-.006 inches). This is easily measured with a sharp point pit gauge or Press-O-Film Tape (if disputed).
5. Protrusions above the serrations are not permitted. (Repair or replacement is required) ... Regardless of Location!
* Scratches, nicks, gouges, burrs, cuts, & other mechanical damage to serration finish in gasket sealing areas are carefully evaluated to all
criteria listed above. Also, use the 4-step Inspection Technique listed below shall be used to identify the "Sealing area".
ASME B16.5 & B16.47 (RFWN FLG): Determine Location of Sealing Area (4-Step Technique).
NOTE: Imperfections exceeding tables above may be rejected regardless of location (SA Inspector judgement call)
NOTE: Inspectors can accept certain types of damage "IF" located outside of sealing area & protrusion = zero.
1. Center the gasket on the flange & match the gasket inside & outside diameters onto the flange sealing surface.
2. Compensate for Gasket movement within bolt holes (.125" or 3.2 mm). See illustration. Sealing areas can vary 3.2 mm.
EVALUATION: Any Protrusions (whether inside the sealing area or not) are unacceptable. Other damages (listed above)
that exceed the Table 3 Criteria are relevant & rejectable if the damage falls within "SEALING AREA + 3.2 mm".
4. Report flange damage to SA (NCR is not required for isolated damage. Issue NCR for damages due to gross mishandling
TYPICAL SPIRAL WOUND GASKET & RF FLANGE (TOP VIEW OR CROSS SECTION) ... NOTE THAT SEALING CAN VARY BY 3.2mm
1. Find gasket inside diameter.
2. Find gasket outside diameter.
Note that "gaskets" can shift/move
up to 3.2 mm (flange bolt/bolthole
tolerances). Gasket centering ring
OD also has a tolerance. These
tolerances allow installation.

FIELD REPAIRS ARE PROHIBITED. ONLY APPROVED COMPANIES/MACHINISTS REPAIR FLANGE FACINGS
ATTACHMENT 2 - DAMAGE ASSESSMENT FOR FLANGE FACINGS (CRITERIA & TECHNIQUE)
ASME B16.5 & B16.47 TABLES DO NOT APPLY FOR RING JOINT (RJ) FLANGES.
Note 1: The Illustration below is an Octagonal Ring Groove. Six sides "seal" &
two sides are exposed. Note 2: The two exposed sides (octagonal ring gasket)
may be color coded, but not the 6 sealing sides.
FIELD REPAIRS ARE PROHIBITED. ONLY APPROVED COMPANIES & MACHINISTS REPAIR RJ GROOVES.
ASSESS ASME B16.5 RING JOINT (RJ) FLANGE SEALING SURFACE DAMAGE

ASME B16.5 & B16.47 Ring Joint Groove Imperfections (Evaluation & Acceptance Criteria)
1. Side wall surface finish of ring joint gasket groove shall not exceed 63 microns (essentially machined smooth, .06 mm).
Note: This can be quickly & easily determined with Press-O-Film tape (used in Coating) if disputed. Almost always, excess coating or rust
due to inadequate cleaning (not using power brushing tools) or mechanical damage is cause of rejection.
2. Mechanical damage & groove surface deformation/protrusion is not permitted. (Remachine repair or replace flg)
Note: Scratches, nicks, gouges, burrs, cuts, & other mechanical damage to ring joint groove finish are evaluated per Criteria # 1.
Note: Most commonly, damage occurs to the exposed corner & facing (located as defined by the "F" dimension above).
Note: API Flanges specify a 45 degree "1.5 mm break" on the corners ... ASME B16.5 & B16.47 do not specify such a "break"
3. Lubricant is kept from sealing surfaces and properly limited to application on bolting.
4. Soft Iron octagonal ring gaskets installed shall have color coding paint applied to two outside visible sides only.
5. Rust is not allowed on assembled flanged surfaces. Corrosive pitting is rejected before installation. See 02-SAMSS-011 reqmts.
02-SAMSS-011 (Section 10) Flange Corrosion Protection Requirements (Flange Serviceability Issues)
1. Finish-machined and tested flanges shall be coated overall with a protective finish that does not hide markings.
2. Coatings shall be capable of protecting against corrosion in a marine environment for 12 months.
3. An additional separate strippable coating may be applied over the welding ends and sealing surfaces. The strippable coating need not be
weldable but shall be capable of easy removal without special tools or solvents, and shall not leave residue that will interfere with welding
or gasket seating. Examples: filled highbuild vinyl or urethane or PVC. DEMONSTRATE an effective Pre-Cleaning (Stripping) Method.

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use


4. The Manufacturer may apply tape to the welding ends and sealing surfaces then seal the tape with a protective coating. Tape shall be
easily removed and leave no residue that interferes with gasket seating. Verify tape is removed and no residue build-ups remain.
5. All flanges shall be protected from mechanical damage. Sealing faces shall be protected with suitable wood or plastic or metal covers.
Flanges shall be packaged in steel-banded wooden crates or secured to skids. Verify damages against reqmts (NCR, root cause).
Gasket acceptance criteria is per ASME B16.20 – Available on SA Checklist
