ANSI 16.5 VS ANSI 16.36

ANSI 16.5 VS ANSI 16.36

ANSI 16.5 VS ANSI 16.36

(OP)
I'm want to know the difference between a Flange ANSI 16.5 vs ANSI 16.36.

Is it possible to use a flange 16.5 instead a Flange 16.36.

I'll appreciate your help,

Thanks,

RE: ANSI 16.5 VS ANSI 16.36

ASME 16.5 is for regular pipe flanges and ASME 16.36 is for Orifice Flanges.

ASME B16.36 defines the taps, ports, jacking bolts etc. that are required for Orifice Flanges. B16.36 references B16.5 but is limited to the flange sizes that are suitable for taping. The flange thickness may be thicker on some of the B16.36 flanges than a B16.5 flange of the same size and ratings.
