What is ASME B16.47 Class 400 Series A Flange
ASME B16.47 Class 400 Series A Flanges are heavy-duty flanges designed to withstand high pressure in critical industrial applications. These flanges conform to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards and are rated for Class 400 pressure, belonging to Series A with larger dimensions compared to Series B.
Common Materials:
– Carbon Steel: ASTM A105/A350 LF2
– Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/F316
– Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11/F22
Common Dimensions:
– Size Range: Typically above 26″ up to 60″ (DN650-DN1500) or larger
– Pressure Rating: Class 400 (400 PSI)
– Flange Facings: Raised Face (RF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ), Flat Face (FF)
Production Processes:
Manufacturing ASME B16.47 Class 400 Series A Flanges involves precision machining and forging processes tailored for larger diameters. Forged raw materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel undergo shaping using forging machinery and precise machining to meet stringent dimensional requirements. CNC machining ensures accuracy and quality.
Applications:
These flanges are utilized in heavy industries requiring extremely high-pressure piping systems, such as oil and gas refineries, chemical processing plants, and power generation facilities. They are specifically employed in pipelines carrying fluids or gases under very high pressure and temperature conditions.
Common Q&A:
1. Why choose Class 400 Series A flanges?
– Class 400 flanges are designed to withstand significantly higher pressures, ensuring the integrity and safety of piping systems in extremely demanding applications compared to lower pressure-rated flanges.
2. How do Series A and Series B flanges differ in ASME B16.47?
– Series A flanges have larger dimensions compared to Series B, allowing for more space for welding and accommodating larger-sized pipes.
