ASME B16.47
Large Diameter Steel Flanges, NPS 26 through NPS 60
Covers flanges larger than B16.5 reaches, in two series with different dimensions. Series A and Series B flanges of the same size and class do not interchange, which is a classic source of a flange arriving that will not bolt up.
This is an explanation, not the standard. PipingInspector is not affiliated with ASME and reproduces no part of the document. Always work to the current edition of the standard itself and to your project specification.
