Limitations:
Class 25: Maximum pressure shall be limited to 25 psig when Class 25 cast iron flanges and flanged
fittings are used for gaseous service. Tabulated pressure-temperature ratings above 25 psig for Class 25
cast iron flanges and flanged fittings are applicable for non-shock hydraulic service only.
Class 250: When used for liquid service the tabulated pressure-temperature ratings in sizes 14 in and
larger are applicable to Class 250 flanges only and not to Class 250 fittings.
Class 800: The tabulated rating is not a steam rating and applies to non-shock hydraulic pressure only.

ANSI B16.5 Temperature and Pressure Ratings for ASTM A105 Carbon Steel Flange.

Chapter 7

Most of what the average engineer deals with is at moderate temperatures and
pressures, say up to 300F and 200 psig. That is, it falls into the realm of Class 150,
ASTM A105 flanges.
But sometimes we are faced with more demanding services, whether they are
related to elevated temperatures, pressures, or corrosive fluids that require different
metallurgy. In those cases, the reader is advised to obtain access to ANSI B16.5 (or
B16.47) to determine the pressure rating at the particular temperature for that
service. Do not rely on tables gleaned from generic sources, since these tend to
generalize the term carbon steel. Carbon steel covers a lot of territory, and the
difference in pressure rating for Class 300 flanges at 100F can swing from 620 to
750 psig. Some tables list pressures for carbon steel flanges up to 1000F, but ANSI
B16.5 suggests that carbon steels not be used above 800F. At those elevated
temperatures, higher grades of stainless or the Group 3 nickel-molybdenum alloys
should be used.
Pressure classes of cast iron flanges are established by ANSI B16.1. These are rated
at Classes 25,125, 250, and 800. The Class 125 flanges are always flat faced, and can be
mated to 150 lb steel flanges. When this is done, there are two choices to prevent the cast
iron flange from cracking due to the stress of bolting to a raised face flange:
1. Use low-strength bolting (less than 30 ksi minimum yield strength).
2. Machine off the raised face of the steel mating flange, and use a full face gasket
as shown in Figure 7.1 with intermediate or high-strength bolts.
The same holds true for mating Class 250 cast iron flanges with 300 lb steel raised face
flanges. Class 250 CI flanges have a raised face, and according to ANSI B16.5, both mating
flange faces should be machined flat. In practice, sometimes you will see Class 250 CI
raised face flanges installed against Class 300 steel flanges with ring gaskets as shown in
Figure 7.2 and no machining. In these cases, the low-strength bolting should be used.
