    Appendix-2 flanges are custom flanges defined in ASME VIII-1 that allow designers flexibility in variables like configuration, dimensions, bolt circle diameter and number of bolts. They can be designed in styles like slip-on, lap joint or weld neck. Appendix-2 flanges can be circular or non-circular, and split into loose halves. However, the gasket must be contained within the bolt circle and there cannot be any metal-to-metal contact outside this circle. Appendix-2 calculations only cover pressure loads and the effect of external loads must be considered separately.

    What Is An Appendix-2 Flange?


    Posted on May 5, 2011 by dburr

    What are Appendix-2 flanges? Firstly, the name stems from the fact that they are found in Appendix-2 of
    ASME VIII-1.

    Secondly, they are custom flanges. This allows the designer the flexibility to manipulate the different flange
    variables, unlike flanges designed to ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47, which fully describe materials,
    dimensions and pressure ratings for flanges.

    Design Options:

    Style: Appendix-2 flanges can be designed in a number of configurations, such as slip-on, lap joint, and
    weld neck, even for very large flanges.

    Dimension: Aside from the flange configuration, some other variables that can be manipulated are the
    bolt circle diameter, number and size of bolts, hub thickness and length, flange thickness and outer
    diameter.

    Shape: Appendix-2 flanges can be circular or non-circular. However, there does not appear to be any
    provision for a non-circular bore in Appendix-2. Hence, only the flange’s outside edge can be of another
    shape.

    Split: Flanges designed to Appendix-2 can be split loose flanges, where the flange is split into two halves.
    Further, an Appendix-2 split flange can be designed as a pair of concentric split rings, where the splits are
    offset by 90°.

    Limitations:

    Gasket: For an Appendix-2 flange, the gasket must be completely contained within the bolt circle
    diameter. This prevents the use of a full-face gasket on an Appendix-2 flange.

    Contact: There must be no metal-to-metal contact outside of the bolt-circle diameter in an Appendix-2
    flange. If there is any metal-to-metal contact the flange will most likely fall under Appendix-Y.

    Loads: Appendix-2 calculations cover the hydrostatic end load, called the operating condition, and the
    gasket seating condition only. Thus it is designed for pressure loads only. The effect of external piping loads
    must be accounted for separately.
