Aluminum Pressure Rating Class Standard

Aluminum Pressure Rating Class Standard

Hello,

I use ASME B16.5 for flange dimensions for SS and CS materials. Is this standard applicable to Aluminum material too? Which all materials are covered in this standard?

Thanks

RE: Aluminum Pressure Rating Class Standard

The materials covered by ASME B 16.5 are listed in table 1A, page 4. I've done a search and can't see aluminium listed.

That won't stop people making flanges to ASME B 16.5 dimensions, but what its pressure/ temperature rating is seems quite unclear.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

RE: Aluminum Pressure Rating Class Standard

ASME B31.3 appendix L covers aluminium alloy pipe flanges.

thanks for the replies. Found ASME B31.3 stating that Flanges shall meet the dimensional and tolerance requirements of ASME B16.5 under Appendix L.thumbsup2
