ASME B16.5 flange requests are reviewed by NPS, class, facing, material, bore, quantity, inspection and documentation requirements.
This is the quick technical view a buyer, EPC engineer or distributor needs before deciding whether this is the right product page.
ASME B16.5 flange requests are reviewed by NPS, class, facing, material, bore, quantity, inspection and documentation requirements.
| Product family | Flanges |
|---|---|
| Typical scope | Class 150 to 2500 quotation review; RF, FF, RTJ and project facing requirements; ASTM A105, A350 LF2 and stainless or alloy material grades |
| Standards / drawings | Project drawing or purchase specification; ASME B16.5 where flange dimensions follow ASME classes; EN 1092-1 / DIN where PN and DN requirements are specified; GOST 33259, 12820 or 12821 where CIS project requirements apply; ASTM, EN or project material standards as listed in the RFQ |
| Material review | ASTM A105 carbon steel; ASTM A350 LF2 low-temperature carbon steel; Stainless steel grades such as 304, 316, 321 or 347; Duplex and super duplex grades when specified by the project; Alloy steel or drawing-specified grades subject to feasibility review |
| Critical RFQ variables | Size, DN or NPS; Pressure class or PN rating; Drawing revision and critical dimensions; Facing, bore, bolt pattern and machining tolerance; Quantity, destination country and packing requirement |
| Inspection documents | MTC EN 10204 3.1; Heat treatment record; Dimensional report; PMI when alloy verification is required; UT, MT or PT when specified; Tensile, impact or hardness test records when required |
This section is written for buyers checking whether the picture, product name and quotation scope match the same forged part.
Best for ASME B16.5 NPS 1/2 to 24 line items where type, class and facing are already specified.
International EPC flange packages, distributor stock, pressure piping and valve connections.
NPS, class, type, facing, bore or schedule, material grade and standard edition are the key variables.
Send ASME type, NPS, class, facing, bore, material, quantity, MTC and inspection scope.
Dimensional conformance, marking, face finish, material certificate and heat number traceability are central.
These product-specific values make the page different from a generic catalogue listing and help engineering buyers send a complete first inquiry.
| ASME scope | ASME B16.5 covers NPS 1/2 to 24 and Class 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500 and 2500. |
|---|---|
| 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. |
| Material families | ASTM A105/A105N, A350 LF2, A182 F304/F316/F321/F347, duplex and project alloys. |
| Inspection depth | ASME dimension check, marking, MTC 3.1, PMI for alloy grades, NDT when project specification requires it. |
Direct Product Datasheet
Download the visible product-page technical data as a PDF before sending drawings or line items. This datasheet is generated from the page's published RFQ scope table and does not invent standard dimensions.
This direct link is not gated by a form. For ASME B16.5 Class 150 selected dimensions, use the standard dimension check sheet where shown below.
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.
Open this page when your RFQ matches one of these scope items, or send a drawing if the forged part is non-standard.
Class 150 to 2500 quotation review
RF, FF, RTJ and project facing requirements
ASTM A105, A350 LF2 and stainless or alloy material grades
These names may appear in drawings, purchase lists, distributor RFQs and supplier shortlists.
The strongest RFQ gives the commercial team the same technical language used by engineering, QA and the final buyer.
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.
Send these details in the first message to avoid repeated clarification and mismatched offers.

These issues make supplier offers look cheaper or faster than they really are because the technical scope is incomplete.
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.
