ASME B16.47 Series A/B Flanges
ASME B16.47 Series A/B Flanges
(OP)
Hi All,
Can someone let me know how do we select on which ASME B 16.47 flange to use - Series A or Series B?
Client's specs do not address this and they have asked us to decide.

It mainly depends on what the user wants.
in US most use a series B flange because it closely resembles B15.5 flange.
in other parts of world they like A flange because it has a greater quantity of smaller bolts.
Most users like to stay with one of the other in their operations for spare gaskets not getting confused.
