ASME B16.5 Class 1500 Weld Neck Flange Dimensions
Weld Neck flange dimensions to ASME B16.5 Class 1500 in millimetres: outside diameter, thickness, raised face, hub, length through hub, bolt circle and drilling, NPS ½" to 24". A weld neck flange has a long tapered hub butt-welded to the pipe. The taper transfers stress smoothly into the pipe, so weld necks are the first choice for high pressure, high or low temperature and cyclic service.

Notes
- Dimensions are in millimetres unless stated otherwise.
- Flange thickness tf and length through hub Y do not include the 7 mm raised face.
- Blind flanges have the same outside diameter, thickness tf and drilling as the other flange types of the same size and class.
- Slip-on and socket weld flanges are not listed in Class 1500 above NPS 2½"; the slip-on column then applies to threaded flanges only.
- The bore of a weld neck or socket weld flange is machined to match the inside diameter of the pipe schedule stated in the order.
- Bolt holes are tabulated in inches in ASME B16.5; the millimetre values shown are direct conversions (bolt diameter plus ⅛").
- Stud bolt lengths do not include the height of the points. Weights are approximate catalogue values and vary with bore and manufacturer.
