Flange Temperature Ratings
Flange Temperature Ratings
(OP)
Hi all,
I am designing a system using 3" 150# WN Flanges, 316SS
One of my suppliers gave me a low temperature rating of -20F,
My project will be going into an arctic environment, with temperatures reaching -50F or lower,
I hadn't thought for a second that a 316 flange would have a problem, but now I am second guessing myself.
Any idea what this rating would apply to, or in reference of? Any experience here in arctic environments on this issue?
Thanks

The B16.5 paragraphs 2.4, 2.5.3, & 5.1.2 cover exactly that.
