| Standards / drawings |
|
| Material grades |
|
| Geometry, tolerance and inspection | |
| Product types | Weld neck, slip-on, blind, socket weld, threaded, lap joint and special drawing-based ASME line items. |
| Critical dimensions | NPS, Class, flange type, RF/RTJ/FF facing, bore or schedule, drilling and standard edition. |
| Inspection depth | ASME dimension check, marking, MTC 3.1, PMI for alloy grades, NDT when project specification requires it. |
| Reviewed before quotation |
|
| Buying logic | |
| Best-fit RFQ | Best for ASME B16.5 NPS 1/2 to 24 line items where type, class and facing are already specified. |
| Buyer application | International EPC flange packages, distributor stock, pressure piping and valve connections. |
Generated from the published values above - it does not invent standard dimensions. Final manufacturing and inspection follow your current standard, drawing revision and project specification.
Direct Technical Download
Download a one-page buyer reference with selected Class 150 NPS, flange outside diameter, minimum flange thickness and hub diameter data. The dimensions are copied from a public ASME B16.5 dimension reference; no estimated or invented values are used.
This link opens directly without a form gate so buyers can check line items before sending a formal RFQ.

Use this route to understand what has to be confirmed before price, lead time, MTC 3.1 and third-party inspection commitments are made.
Material grade, heat number, certificate basis and substitution limits are checked against the ASME B16.5 Flanges drawing or standard before procurement is released.
The forging route is selected around flange type, section thickness, bore allowance, hub or neck geometry and pressure-service requirements.
Heat treatment is planned with the required record package, mechanical testing basis and impact-test condition where low-temperature or alloy service applies.
Rough machining opens reference faces, bore, hub, neck or sealing-face stock needed to control allowance before final flange machining.
Final machining controls facing, bore, bolt pattern, groove, sealing surface and flange-table or drawing tolerances before dimensional inspection is issued.
Inspection covers dimensional report, MTC 3.1, PMI and required UT, MT or PT records before the release documents are matched to the purchase order.
Marking, packing and export documents are prepared by PO line item so the ASME B16.5 Flanges shipment can clear customs and be identified at site receiving.
Include document requirements with the first RFQ so inspection cost and timing are visible before offer comparison.
Complete offers come back fastest when the first message carries the data below - and avoids the omissions that make quotations look cheaper than they are.
Short answers for common RFQ questions.
Yes. Send the latest drawing revision with material, quantity, tolerance, inspection and destination requirements so the RFQ can be checked before quotation.
A practical RFQ should include standard or drawing, size, pressure rating, material grade, quantity, inspection requirements and destination country.
Common requests include ASTM A105, A350 LF2, stainless steel, duplex steel and project-specified alloy grades, subject to drawing and service requirements.
MTC 3.1, dimensional reports, heat treatment records, PMI, UT, MT, PT and third-party inspection can be reviewed according to the project requirement.
