ASME B16.5 Slip On Flanges
ASME B16.5 Slip-On Flanges are a type of flange designed to easily slip over the end of a pipe, allowing for quick installation and removal. They are commonly used in applications where frequent disassembly is required or in systems with low pressure and non-critical applications. Here are some key characteristics and features of ASME B16.5 Slip-On Flanges:
1. Design Standards: These flanges conform to the standards set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in the B16.5 specification, which outlines dimensions, tolerances, materials, and testing requirements for pipe flanges and flanged fittings.
2. Slip-On Design: Slip-On Flanges have a bore slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe they are intended to fit. They slip over the pipe and are then welded in place at the top and bottom of the flange to provide stability and prevent leakage.
3. Raised Face or Flat Face: ASME B16.5 Slip-On Flanges are available with either a raised face or a flat face. The raised face provides a sealing surface for gaskets and helps to center the flange during installation, while the flat face option is used in applications where the mating flange or fitting has a flat face.
4. Material Options: These flanges can be manufactured from various materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and others, depending on the requirements of the application including factors like pressure, temperature, and corrosion resistance.
5. Pressure Ratings: ASME B16.5 Slip-On Flanges are available in different pressure ratings ranging from 150 to 2500 pounds per square inch (psi), allowing them to be used in a wide range of pressure applications.
6. Sizes and Dimensions: These flanges are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different pipe diameters, and their dimensions are standardized according to ASME B16.5 specifications.
7. Applications: ASME B16.5 Slip-On Flanges are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical processing, power generation, water treatment, and HVAC systems where low-pressure, non-critical applications are common.
