Flange PCD
PCD Pitch Circle Diameter. Diameter described between centre of bolt holes.
Pressure Rating
PN stands for Pressure Nominale and prefixes the pressure rating, e.g. a PN16 flange is designed to operate up to 16 bar. Typical ratings include
PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN64, PN100.
The American ANSI standard refers instead to a pressure / temperature rating termed Class.
Gasket Materials
EDPM
Effective for: hydraulic fluids, ketones, hot and cold water, and alkalis, heat, ozone and weather resistance.
Not for: most oils, gasoline, kerosene, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, halogenated solvents and concentrated acids.
Temp Range: -40 oC to +120 oC
Natural Rubber / SBR
Effective for: Acids & Bases, abrasion resistance
Not for: Oils, oxidisaing agents, aromatics, hydrocarbons, sunlight, ozone, oxygen
Temp Range: -40 oC to +80 oC
Neoprene
Effective for: weathering resistance, ozone, low gas permeability, seawater applications
Not For: Low temperature operations
Temp Range: -20 oC to +100 oC
Nitrile
Effective for: oils, hot oils, animal fats, acids & bases, heat and resistance to abrasion, gas.
Not For: nozone, sunlight, or weather resistance
Temp Range: -20 oC to +110 oC
Butyl
Effective for: Ozone, weathering, general chemical resistance, low gas & moisture permeability
Not For: Oils, fuels, fats
Temp Range: -40 oC to +100 oC
Viton
Effective For: high temperatures, solvents, oils
Not For: acetone, esters, ketones, low temperature applications or steam
Temp Range: -10 oC to +250 oC
Silicone
Effective For: high and low temperatures, electrically insulating
Temp Range: -60 oC to +220 oC
Fibre Paper
Effective For: vegetable oils, fuel, petrol, petroleum distillates
Temp Range: -20 oC to +120 oC
Bolts lengths are approx. for flange flange duty assuming one 1/16 gasket and one washer
Flange thickness shown are the greatest thickness for any given rating
BS10 are available are forged bossed or flat plate as standard, BS1560 are normally forged flanges

CESWI 7 Compliance
The Civil Engineering Specification for Water Industry (CESWI), 7th edition, is now the standards document for all civil engineering works. The
document stipulates that the bolts in flange joint sets must be of sufficient length to ensure that nuts are fully threaded when tightened with
at least two threads showing when in their final tightened position. Also that washers must be used both under the head of the bolt, and
under the nut.
fwb stock and supply CESWI 7 compliant sets containing appropriate bolt lengths, each with two washers. Typical sizes would include:

Galvanised
Rilsan Coatings
In production since 1947 polyamide-11 or Rilsan is conceptually similar to nylon and perlon and comes from the same chemical family as other
leading materials such as Kevlar and Nomex.
Powdered Rilsan coatings are ideal for use in the water industry, it offers:
o UV resistance
o Compliance with all standards (AWAA, EEC, French, Germany, Belgium, Australian, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, British etc.)
o High levels of corrosion resistance
o High resistance to abrasion and impact damage
Sheraplex Coatings
Sheraplex is a viable alternative to Rilsan. The Sheraplex process is a Duplex system which provides excellent corrosion
protection provided by a Sherardizing process combined with an organic barrier layer.
o A more consistent Torque/load ratio can be achieved
o Sheraplex coating does not gall when re-used, meaning nuts & bolts can be used repeatedly
o Long term vibration testing has shown difference in the performance of Sheraplex compared to Rilsan
o The coating process is considered by some to be more environmentally friendly than others
