26" ASME B16.47 Flange

26" ASME B16.47 Flange

26" ASME B16.47 Flange

(OP)
Can anyone tell me what is the difference between B16.5 & B16.47? Is there a dimensional change.

Also, does anyone know where I can find a listing of large ASME flanges (>24") ?

RE: 26" ASME B16.47 Flange

The B16.5 standard applies to sizes up to NPS-24, while the B16.47 standard has dimensions for sizes NPS-26 and larger.
The B16.47 standard has two series, 'A' and 'B', which incorporate the MSS SP-44 dimensions (series'A'), and the the API-605 dimensions (series'B').  They are not interchangeable!  The weight of series'B' flange could be less than half the weight of series'A'. The MSS SP-44 (series'A') bolt circles are compatible to the B16.1 bolting patterns for cast iron flanges.  The API-605 (series'B') bolting patterns have smaller bolts, smaller bolt circles with more bolts.  Few if any valves are made with series'B' flange patterns.  
see supplier / distributor website for flange dimension data

Many offshore flange manufacturers also include dimensional data.

There is one exception to ApC2Kp's post.

22" NPS is not covered by B16.5, for this size use MSS-SP-44.
