FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of ASME 616.1-1998.)
In1894, the AmericanSociety of MechanicalEngineers(ASME)adopted a standard

flangetemplate(“ASMEStandard”) for low-pressure service. A“Manufacturers Standard’
for pressures up to 250 psi followed in 1901. Around 1910, a group of fittings manufacturers
formed an organization that was the forerunner of the present Manufacturers Standardization
SocietyoftheValveand Fittings Industry (MSS) andundertook the design of a line of
flangedfittings.Adocumentcoveringthiswork was published in 1912.
During the years 1912-1914,a Joint Committee of the ASMEandtheManufacturers
Committee formulated compromise standard dimensions for pipe flanges and flanged fittings
foruseunder saturated steam pressures of125psiand250psi pressure ranges. TheJoint
Committee’s report was accepted at a conference attended by representatives of ASME, the
ManufacturersCommittee, the U.S.government,and the NationalAssociation of Master
Steamand Hot Water Fitters. ASMEpublishedthis report as the“AmericanStandard for
Pipe Flanges, Fittings andTheirBolting”in1914. In 1918,workwas started on standards
for 50 lb steam flanges and for 800 lb, 1200 lb, and3000 lb hydraulic flanges,which
weresubsequentlyapproved by this group.
In 1921, the AmericanEngineeringStandardsCommittee, later known as the American
StandardsAssociation(ASA),United States of AmericaStandards Institute (USAS),and
more recently, the AmericanNationalStandards Institute (ANSI),organized Sectional
Committee B16 to unify and further develop national standards for pipe flanges and fittings
(andlater for valvesand gaskets). Cosponsors ofthe B16Committeewere.ASME,MSS,
and the HeatingandPipingContractorsAssociation[now the MechanicalContractors
Association of America (MCAA)]. Work already in progress on flanges and flanged fittings
was assigned to Subcommittee 1 (nowSubcommittee A). Followingapproval by the
Subcommittee, the B16 Committee, the cosponsors, and ASA, the standards were published
in 1928.
Inlater work, Subcommittee 1 developedthe25lbFlangeandFlanged Fitting Standard
(approved in 1931 as ASAB16b2),whichreplacedthe 50 lb standardthat hadbeen
originallyapproved in 1918. Workonthe800 lb Hydraulic Flange Standard was published
as ASA B16bl in 1931.Revisionof thicknesses, tolerances, and service pressure ratings
ofthe125lband250 lb flanges andflangedfittingsledtoapprovaland publication of
ASA B 16a-1939.
An American War Standard entitled “Pressure Ratings for Cast Iron Flanges and Flanged
Fittings, 125 lb” (ASA B16al) waspublishedin1943.Acompletereviewofthe 125 lb
and 250 lb standards resulted in new editions ofeach:ASAB16.1-1948andASAB 16.2-
1948. In 1960, editions of B16.1andB16.2wereissued in which ratings werepresented
in graphicformand special requirementswereadded for testing flanges.
Areviewofall cast iron flange andflanged fittings standards initiated in 1962 resulted
in thewithdrawalofB16.16,“300 lb Refrigerant FlangesandFlanged Fittings” andthe
combining of the remaining standards into a single document, with B16.1 and B16.2 coming
together as USASB16.1-1967.In this edition, the presentation of ratings wasrestored to
tabularform.

The increasinguse of highergrades of cast ironnecessitatedthe establishment of a
second set of ratings for the smaller sizes. A revised edition published as ANSIB16.1-
1975incorporated these new ratings along with metric (SI) equivalents for dimensions and
minor corrections to the1967 edition text.
In 1982,AmericanNational Standards Committee B16wasrecognized as anASME
Committee operating under procedures accredited by ANSI.Followingapproval by the
ASMEB16 Subcommittee A andB16 Committee, ANSIapproved ASMHANSI B16.1-
1989 on March 8, 1989. Changes included revised marking requirements, revised bolt length
increments (!L2 in. rather thanv4 in.), elimination of metric equivalents, a correction of the
Class 800 flangeraised face height to 0.25 in. fromthe 0.06 in.shown previously, and
editorial changes to thetext.

revisions havebeenmade.Followingapproval by ASMEB16Subcommittee B and B16
Main Committee, ANSI approved this American National Standard on November 20, 1998.
Requests for interpretation or suggestions for revisionshould be sentto the Secretary,

RATINGS OF ASME B16.1 VERSUS ANSI/AWWA A21.10

Attentionisdirected to an apparent conflict in ambient temperature pressure ratings for
flanged fittings betweenASMEB16.1 andANSWAWWAA21 .lo, GrayIronand Ductile
Iron Fittings, 2 in. through 48 in. forWater and Other Liquids.
The scope ofANSWAWWA A21.10 limits that standard to fittings for usewithgray
ironand ductile ironpipeforwaterandotherliquids at ratedworking pressures of150
psiand250psi. The ratings of thesefittingswere established on the basisof hydrostatic
testing of fittings to bursting, and do provide a factor of safety ofat least 3.0 at the rated
workingpressure and at ambient temperature.
ASMEB16.1 covers both separate flangesandflanged fittings for moregeneral service
at ambient and elevated temperatures. The pressureratings set fortharenotbased upon
burst strength, but have evolved over an extended period of time of satisfactory performance
in a widerange of generalservice conditions. The ratings encompass pressurecombined
with elevated temperature, stresses imposed by piping,thermal stresses due to temperature
variations,andmany other conditions causing stress in theflangeor fitting.

GENERAL NOTE:
The largest opening establishes the basic size of a reducing fitting. The largest opening is named
first, except for bull-head tees, which are reducing on both runs, and double-branch elbows where
both branches are reducing: the outlet is the largest opening and named lastin bothcases.
In designating the openings of reducing fittings, they should be readi n the order indicated by the
sequence of the letters a, b, c, and d. In designating the outlets of side-outlet reducing fittings, the
side outlet is named last; and in the case of the cross (which is not shown), the side outlet is
designated by the letter e.

NOTES:
(2) For flange bolt holes, refer t o Table 2; see also para. 6.6.
(3) For spot facing, see para. 6.7.
(4) For center-to-face tolerances, see para. 6.4.
(5) For intersecting centerlines of side outlets, see para. 6.3.1.
(6) The flange diameter, bolt circle, and number of bolts are the same in Class 25 as in Class 125. Bolt hole diameters ofClass
25 shall not be modified when mated with Class 125 flanges or with steel flanges.
(7) The center-to-face dimensions of fittings are the same as the Class 125.
(8) For wall thickness tolerance, see para. 6.1.
(9) For center-to-face dimensions of reducing elbows and side-outlet elbows, see paras. 6.3.2(b) and (c).
( I O ) Tees and crosses, reducing on runonly, carry same dimensions center-to-face and face-to-face as a straight-size fitting of
the larger opening.
(11) For reinforcement of crosses, see para. 6.8.
(12) For center-to-face dimensions of special degree elbows, see para. 6.3.2(d).
(13) Fittings reducing on the runonly carry same dimensions center-to-face and face-to-face as straight-size fittings,
corresponding to thesize of the largeropening. Tees increasing on outlet, known as bull-head tees, will have same center-
to-face and face-to-face dimensions as a straight fitting of the size of the outlet. For example, an NPS 12 x NPS 12 x NPS
18 tee will be governed by the dimensions of the NPS 18 long-body tee, given in Table 3, namely NPS 16’/* center-to-face
of all openings and NPS 33 face-to-face.
(14) Side-outlet tees, with outlet at 90 deg. or any other angle, straight or reducing, carry same dimensions center-to-face and
face-to-face as regular tees having same reductions.
(15) In a side-outlet tee, the larger of the two side outlets governs the center-to-face dimension J.
(16) Tees, side-outlet tees, and crosses, NPS 16 and smaller, reducing on the outlet, have the same dimensions center-to-face
and face-to-face as straight-size fittings, corresponding t o the size of the larger opening. NPS 18 and larger, reducing on
the outlet, are made in two lengths, depending on thesize of the outlet as given in Table 3.
(17) Long-body patterns are used when outlets are larger than given above and, therefore, have the same dimensions as
straight-size fittings.

NOTES:
(1) For facings, see para. 6.2.2.
(2) All blind flanges for NPS 10 and larger must be dished with inside radius equal to the port diameter.
(3) For wall thickness tolerance, see para. 6.1.
14) For thread of threaded flanges, see paras. 6.5.1 and 6.5.3.
(5) For flange bolt holes, see para. 6.6.
(6) For bolts and nuts, see para. 7.1.
(8) When bolting to steel flanges, longer bolts or studs shall be used.
(9) Fittings in these sizes are not produced and used in sufficient quantities to warrant standardization; however, the flange dimensions are included for convenience
where special fittings larger than NPS 30 are required. When these fittings are made, the body structure should be designed to be the equivalent of the flanges in
service pressure ratings.

(18) For tees, sizes larger than NPS 24, anchorage fittings are recommended. See Table 9.
(19) For reducing fittings, the size and center-to-face dimensions of base are determined by the size of the largest opening of the fitting. In the case of reducing base
elbows, orders shall specify whether the base shall be opposite the larger or smaller opening.
(20) Bolt hole template shown for round base is the same as for the flange of the supporting pipe size, except using only four holes in all cases so placed as to straddle
centerlines. The bases of these fittings are intended for support in compression and are not to be used for anchors or supports in tension or shear.
