Notes
1 Schedules 5S and 10S wall thicknesses do not permit threading in accordance with ANSI/ASME B1.20.1.
2 These dimensions and weights do not conform to ANSI/ASME B36.10M.
– The suffix ‘S’ after the schedule number indicates that the pipe dimensions and weight are in compliance with this stainless steel pipe
specification, ANSI/ASME B36.19M-1985, and not the more general ANSI/ASME B36.10M-1995 specification.
– Although this specification is applicable to stainless steel, quoted weights are for carbon steel pipe and should be multiplied by 1.014 for
austenitic and duplex steels, or by 0.985 for ferritic and martensitic steels.

Flanges – General Information


A Flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other
equipment to form a pipework system. It also provides easy access for
cleaning, inspection or modification. Flanges are usually welded or
screwed into such systems and then joined with bolts.

Flange Types
Weld Neck
This flange is circumferentially welded into the system at its neck which means
that the integrity of the butt welded area can be easily examined by radiography.
The bores of both pipe and flange match, which reduces turbulence and erosion
inside the pipeline. The weld neck is therefore favoured in critical applications
Slip-on
This flange is slipped over the pipe and then fillet welded. Slip-on flanges are
easy to use in fabricated applications.
Blind
This flange is used to blank off pipelines, valves and pumps, it can also be used
as an inspection cover. It is sometimes referred to as a blanking flange.
Socket Weld
This flange is counter bored to accept the pipe before being fillet welded.
The bore of the pipe and flange are both the same therefore giving good flow
characteristics.
Threaded
This flange is referred to as either threaded or screwed. It is used to connect
other threaded components in low pressure, non-critical applications.
No welding is required.
Lap Joint
These flanges are always used with either a stub end or taft which is butt welded
to the pipe with the flange loose behind it. This means the stub end or taft
always makes the face. The lap joint is favoured in low pressure applications
because it is easily assembled and aligned. To reduce cost these flanges can be
supplied without a hub and/or in treated, coated carbon steel.
Ring Type Joint
This is a method of ensuring leak proof flange connection at high pressures.
A metal ring is compressed into a hexagonal groove on the face of the flange to
make the seal. This jointing method can be employed on Weld Neck, Slip-on and
Blind Flanges.

Thin wall tube is defined as that with a wall thickness
t≤0.020 in (0.5 mm) for any OD,
or t≤2% of OD if OD ≤2 in (50.8 mm),
or t≤3% of OD if OD >2 in (50.8 mm)

Formulae for Calculation


All weights shown in this publication are theoretical weights for guidance only. They are calculated using nominal
dimensions and scientifically recognised densities. The formulae used are shown below together with the densities of
the alloys. Please note that in practice, the actual weight can vary significantly from the theoretical weight due to
variations in manufacturing tolerances and compositions.
