ASME B16.5 Flanges & Fittings – Choose Jizhong Flange

ASME B16.5 is a widely recognized standard established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). It defines the dimensions, tolerances, materials, and testing requirements for pipe flanges and flanged fittings used in industrial piping systems.

This standard plays a crucial role in ensuring the integrity and functionality of piping systems by providing clear guidelines for the design and manufacturing of flanges and fittings. By adhering to ASME B16.5 specifications, manufacturers and engineers can guarantee that piping components meet strict quality and safety requirements, making them suitable for various industrial applications.

ASME B16.5 covers flanges with the following pressure rating classes:

• Class 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, and 1500 for sizes NPS ½ through NPS 24
• Class 2500 for sizes NPS ½ through NPS 12

The standard provides specifications in both metric and U.S. customary units, ensuring compatibility across global piping systems. Jizhong Flange, a leading manufacturer, produces high-quality flanges that comply with ASME B16.5, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

The standard also includes flanged fittings with Class 150 and 300 pressure ratings, available in sizes NPS ½ through NPS 24. Like flanges, these fittings comply with both metric and U.S. customary unit requirements.
