ASME B16.5 flange dimensions: Class 150 to Class 2500

Bolt circle W, outside diameter O, raised-face diameter R and the number and diameter of holes Z × I (catalogue letters of the ASME world), plus pipe outside diameter and stud size – in separate tables per pressure class from Class 150 to Class 2500, nominal sizes in inches from 1/2" to 24". These flanges are still commercially known as “ANSI flanges” or “150/300/600 lbs” – but the class number is not a pressure rating in psi or pounds. Unlike EN 1092-1, ASME flanges are not part of the scope of the European standard – always check which standard is required on international projects.

Choose the flange type and pressure class

Which flange type to ASME B16.5 comes in which pressure class? Each cell gives the nominal pipe sizes with a dimensional drawing and leads straight to the type page with the class preselected.

The standard names dimensions. What is listed here, we carry – from stock or to order; how quickly a size is available we clarify on request.

  • type and class with sizes from our range
  • available to order
  • – not standardised or not documented in our sources · “except”: this size is standardised, its dimensions are not fully documented in our sources

The overview shows where dimensional drawings exist – the dimensions themselves are on the type pages and in the tables below.

Right, the full section with weld end Ah, bore B, flange thickness tf, raised-face height f, raised-face diameter R and outside diameter O. Dimension lines outside the contour.

Dimensional drawing in front and full-section view (catalogue letters of the ASME world): O = outside diameter, W = bolt circle, Z × Ø I = number × diameter of holes, tf = flange thickness, R = raised-face diameter, f = raised-face height (1.6 mm for Class 150–600 to ASME B16.5), Ah = weld end, B = bore. Accent colour on the bolt circle W. Drawing not to scale.

Hole diameter I ≠ bolt diameter: I is the bolt hole in the flange plate – the matching bolt is always thinner (clearance for assembly and alignment). Example: 19.1 mm hole → 3/4″ bolt, i.e. M16/UNC 3/4. The bolt size follows from the standard, not from the hole dimension.

Order dimensions and values calculated by us; deliverable from stock or to order, availability on request. Limit deviations and figures from the standard: see the main table and the standard itself.

1 Pipe OD = outside diameter of the matching pipe to ASME B36.10M. The flange bore lies somewhat above this (clearance), depending on type, or follows the pipe inside diameter for the welding neck flange – see the note box above.

2 Stud = stud bolt diameter in inches (UNC thread). To ASME B16.5 the hole diameter ØI is always 1/8″ larger than the bolt.

3 22″ (DN 550) is not standardised in ASME B16.5, but is a common manufacturer standard in the trade (cf. MSS SP-44); raised-face diameter per manufacturer data – confirm the bolt-hole pattern and sealing face explicitly when ordering.

Need larger diameters? Above 24″, sizing continues with ASME B16.47 Series A / Series B (NPS 26 – 60). The two series are geometrically different and must not be confused – contact us directly for these sizes.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find ASME B16.5 flange dimensions in millimetres?

The dimension table on this page gives the dimensions per NPS and class to ASME B16.5 in millimetres with inches in brackets.

What does ASME cover, what does ASTM? Dimensions to ASME B16.5 say nothing about the material – that comes from an ASTM standard such as A105 or A182. The profiles show for each standard what it covers, which grades exist and which of them we supply. To the ASME/ASTM profiles

Weld neck flange ASME B16.5 in detail The weld neck flange (WN) has its own page: choose class and NPS – and you get a dimensional drawing with tolerances, measuring notes and the dimension tables for each class. To the weld neck flange ASME B16.5

How this data is compiled. This page does not reproduce a standard. It shows the dimensions you need for an enquiry, an order and installation – for sizes we supply, checked against manufacturers’ and suppliers’ documentation and against our own product data. What you see here is what the market supplies, checked against the standard – or calculated by us. How we select our sources and keep them up to date: About this knowledge.

Technical basis: ASME B16.5. All information without guarantee – the current standard texts and the manufacturers’ technical data sheets always prevail. Values selected according to our delivery and stock programme; compiled from our own ERP data and long-standing trading practice, cross-checked against publicly available manufacturer information. These tables do not replace the standard text – the current edition of the standard always governs.
