ASME vs. ANSI B16.5 flanges
ASME vs. ANSI B16.5 flanges
(OP)
Can anyone provide proof that ANSI B16.5 doesn't exist anymore and should be replaced with ASME B16.5? I know that the words ASME and ANSI are used synonomously with each other but is this correct.
Thanks!
Thanks!

You would not be correct in calling up/specifying ANSI B16.5 flanges. The correct flange standard is ASME now and has been since 1996 yet there are still "pipers" who are still using the ANSI designation. How many years does it take for the change to sink-in? Not getting at you eadwine just a general "whine/observation".

While we're at it, how long will it take for folks to start designating flange classes the same way B16.5 has for the last 30 or so years? That would be Cl-150, not "150#" or "150# Class".
Time to get a beer out of my icebox.
