Burst Pressure Rating of B16.5 Flanges
Burst Pressure Rating of B16.5 Flanges
(OP)
Hello:
I am curious if there are known burst pressure ratings for ASME B16.5 Flanges, and what safety factor is put on the design stress of these components would be.

Agree with the above that flanges are self relieving - as the pressure increases the flanges will eventually part and leak - that's not to say something else on your system won't fail prior to that pressure being achieved.

Mostly the pipe it is connected to will burst well before the flame.
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
