Flange Identification

FLANGE IDENTIFICATION

To identify an API flange connection, proceed to take dimensions as fol-

lows, using a measure tape accurate to 1/32" (1 mm):

1 Measure the Outside Diameter “C” of the Flange C=

-- or --Measure the Circumference “F” F = C = F / 3.1416
Measure the Diameter of the Bolt Circle “B” from the outside
2 B=
edge of one bolt hole to the inside edge of the opposite hole
3 Count the number of Bolt Holes “No” No =
4 Measure the Bolt Hole Diameter “Hd” Hd =
and determine the Bolt Size “Sb” Sb = Hd - 1/8” Sb =
Measure the Pitch Diameter of the Ring Groove “A” from
5 A=
the inner edge on one side to the outer edge opposite
Measure the flange Total Thickness “D” including any raised
6 D=
face thickness

Use the measurements above to identify a flange in the following tables.

To describe an API flange, the minimum information needed is:

• Nominal Size
• Pressure Rating and Service Type
• Ring Type and Number
