I didn't check every material group, but would be very surprised if there was any difference.
Do you not have access to both??

Ok I can get that, but be aware that 16.47 has two types of flanges, series A and series B. Quite different.
More than one person has been caught out by that....
dimensions you should be able to google.

Because the year of Edition of the standards B16.5 and B16.47 it is "possible" that the pressure ratings for the same material and class could be different between the two standards. This can happen when the ratings are tweaked slightly (typically this has been by 5 psi or so).
This has actually been the case a few times over the past 20 years that I'm aware of. Because Table U-3 (VIII-1) lists the "Year of Acceptable Edition" of the standards it has come about that there have been different pressure ratings for the two size ranges of flanges on the same vessel.
