Standard B16.5 on Stee\ Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings. The line pipe is uniquely characterized by high-strength, cold worked, thinall of ‘the carbon stel grade, which necesltates special considerations forthe welding end of the flanges ‘The size and pressure class range was originally NPS 26 through NPS 36 in pressure clases customarily designated in ‘ANS! Standard B16.5 as 300, 400, 600, and 900 fb. The 1970 ecltion deleted the slio-on flanges for lack of demand, and added a 150 tb, clas and coverage for sizes NPS 12 through NPS 2. Additional coverage was also necesltated by the advent (of the use of fine pipe of grades having minimum specified yield strength higher than the 82,000 pel maximum contemplated atthe time of intial development. and therefore sti thinner wal, In some instances, this advent widened the diferental berween the tense properties ofthe flange steel versus that of ‘he mating pipe set. This, n turn necesttated greater flexibity Inthe selection of hub dimensions, so mat various combina tons of materia-strength and flange-dimensions could be utlized to supply the flanges. Section 5 on Flange Design was intro- ‘voed at this point, and is one of the key features of this standard, The 1972 edition included the coverage of blind Flanges in all pressure classes and clarification of text requirements for better understanding and usage under the more diverse conditions. ‘The 1975 ecition expanded the size range above size NPS 36. The drilling templates for the Clas 160 flanges of the INPS 38 and larger sizes continued the orevious ohiloscohy of adcoting the drilling temolate of the Class 125 of ANS! Standard B16.1. However, the driling templates of the Class 300 flanges of the NPS 38 and larger sizes did nat continue the adoption of the Class 250 of ANSI Standard 816.1 drilling templates, nor did the NPS 38 and larger sizes of Classes 400. (00, and 900 continue the extrapolation of ANS! B16.6 drilling template; instead, these driling tarolaes were necessarily esigned more compactly because of the increased loads. White these flanges are designated by the customary ANSI Standard Cass 150, 300. 400, 600, and 900, their use is almost entirely contined to cross country transmission pipelines at atmot- pherie temperatures. The flanges have been designed primarily for use at their cold ratings which conform to the ANSI Standard 816.5 ratings of 100F, and are intended primarily for attachment to relatively thin-wall high strength cold worked pipe, and high-strength butt welding fittings in pipeline service at temperatures of 460F and lower. Howev (of other materials are capable of pressure temperature ratings as specified in Paragraph 22. “The 1680 edition was created to bring the document into claser editorial alignment with ANSI B16.5. However, out of recognition of the succesful experience of the pipeline Industry, room temperature ratings were extended to 250F. De-ating above 250F was accelerated such that the 450F ratings ae the same as B16.8, Users are cautioned that whan thasa flanges ‘ate bolted to valves and used at temperatures between 100F and 450F, the rating of the valve will not be a high as the flange, ‘The 1990 tevision of this SP was required to update the reference standards list and delete the metric equivalents. ‘The 1991 revision of this SP wes required to add blind flange machining guidance, flat face requirements and precau tlonary notes as well as update of referenced standards. ‘The 1996 revision adds a table with permissible imperfections in flange facing finish and clarifies annex A design criteria, There were several errata, or corrections mace to references to other standards.
