 FOREWORD

(This Foreword is not part of ASME B16.24-1991.)

The development of the first Bronze Flanged Standard was started in 1910 to eliminate
the confusion prevailingin the trade with respectto bronze flange dimensions and service
ratings. The work culminated and was published in 1914 under the title “1914 Brass
Standard Flange Dimensions’’ for150 and 250 lb steam pressures.
This was superseded in 1928 by the Manufacturers Standardization Society of Valves
and Fittings Industry (MSS) “Standard Practice” SP-2which contained changesto pro-
vide interchangeability with the American Cast-Iron Flange Standards for 125 lb and 250
lb steam pressures, Subsequent revisions were issued in 1930 and 1936. In the latter a
new column of thickness for300 lb flangeswas added.
In the 1937 edition, illustrations and dimensionsof bronze flanged fittings were added.
This was edited and reprinted in 1943 to make it conform in effect to U.S. Department
of Commerce, National BÜreau of Standards, Simplified Practice Recommendation R-
183-42and to the War Production Board Limitation Order G252, dated January 23,
1943.
In the 1946 edition, the pressure-temperature ratings wereadded for the 150 lb and
300 lb standards and the dimensions for and reference to the 250 lb standard were
omitted. Limitation Order G252 was cmcelIed on April 28, 1945.The period of Gov-
ernment prohibition of manufacture and civilian use of the 250 lb standard, during the
life of Order G252, caused no hardship on the part of either the manufacturer or the
consumer, indicating that this pressure class in bronze products doesnot warrant being
recognized as a standard.
This standard which has been kept up-to-date and in constant use since 1910, was
reviewed and reaffirmed in 1949. In October, 1951,MSS presented it to SectionaI Com-
mittee B16 on Pipe Franges and Flanged Fittings for review and possible approval as an
American Standard.
Following approval of the sectional committee and sponsor organizations,it was pre-
sented to theAmerican Standards Association (ASA), now the American NationalStan-
dards Institute (ANSI), for approval and designation as an American Standard. This was
granted on February 27, 1953.
In 1961,following the organization of Subcommittee No. 11 (now J), work was begun
on revision of the 1953 edition. Chief among the changes recommended was the deletion
of reference to brass. This resulted froman action by the ASTM of redefining the alloys
which could properly be called bronze. Several
other changes which brought the standard
up-to-date were also approved by the Sectional Committee and sponsor organizations,
with approval designation as an AmericanStandard being granted on July 20, 1962.
SubcommitteeJ, in keeping with regulations of ANSI began a review of the document
in 1969.Only minor changes were found necessary. Among these were the presentation
of ratings in tabular form,and the gasket retaining grooves beingmade permissible rather
than recommended. Final approvalto the changes was grantedby ANSI on January 27,
1971.
A revision was undertaken in 1977 and several changes were proposed, Chief among

 these was the addition of metric equivalents and the elimination of the optional gasket
retaining grooves.In addition, the standard was extensively revised editorially. Following
approvals by Subcommittee J, the Standards Committeeand&-Secretariat, ANSI
granted its approval on June 26,1979.
In 1982 American National Standards Committee B16 was reorganized as an ASME
Committee operatingunder procedures accreditedby ANSI.
This 1991 edition of the standard changes the scope of the standard from bronzepipe
flanges and fittings to cast copper alloy flanges and flanged fittings. The scope of the
flanges now covered in this document was expandedto include classes150,300,400,600,
900,1500and 2500. This edition establishesUS. customary unitsas the standard. Other
clarifying and editorial revisions were made inorder to improve the text.
Following approval by the Standards Committee and ASME, this revision to the 1979
edition of the Standard was approved as an American National Standard by ANSI on
February 1, 1991,with the new designation ASME Bl6.24-1991and the new title “Cast
Copper Alloy Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings.”
Request for interpretations or suggestions for revisions should besent to the Secretary

I SCOPE
1.I General
This Standard for Cast CopperAlloy Pipe Flanges
and Flanged Fittings covers:
(a) pressure temperature ratings;
(b) sizes and methods of designating openingsfor
reduced fittings;
(c) marking;
(d) materials;
(e) dimensions;
cf) bolts, nuts, and gaskets;
(g) tolerances; and
(h) tests.
1.2 Codes and Regulations
A flange or flanged fitting usedunder the jurisdic-
tion of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
the ASME Code for Pressure Piping or a govern-
mental regulation is subject to any limitationof that
code or regulation. This includes any maximum tem-
perature limitation, or rule governing the use of a
material at low temperature, or provisions for oper-
ating at a pressure exceeding the pressure-temper-
ature ratings in this Standard.
1.3 Units of Measurement
U.S. customay units are the standard. For con-
version to metric units use the foIlowing:
(u) 1in. = 25.4 mm
(bj 1 psi = 0.069 bar = 6.9 kPa
(C) OF = 13°C 32 +
2 PRESSURE-TEMPERATURE RATINGS
2.1 General
The tabulated pressure-temperature ratings
applicable
shown in Tables 1 and 2 apply to the materials des-
ignated in paras. 5.2.1,5.2.2,5.3.1, and 5.3.2, and to
COPYRIGHT American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Licensed by Information Handling Services
ASME B16.24-1991
the dimensions prescribed in Tables 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The tabulated pressuretemperature ratings shown
in Table 1apply to the materials designatedin para.
5.2.3 and to the dimensions prescribed in ASME/
ANSI B16.5. All ratings are independent of the con-
tained fluid and are the maximum non-shock pres-
sures atthe tabulated temperatures.Pressure ratings
at temperatures intermediate to those tabulated may
be obtainedby linear interpolation.
2.2 Ratings of Flanged Joints
Ratings in this Standard apply to flanged joints
which conformto thelimitations on boltingin paras.
5.4 and 8(a), and on gaskets in paras. 5.5 and 8(b)
and which are made up in accordance with good
practice for alignment andassembly. Use of the rat-
ings for flanged joints not conformingto these limi-
tations is the sole responsibility of the user.
Requirements for alignment and assembly of joints
and considerationof leakage due to forces and mo-
ments developed in the connected piping or equip-
ment are not covered in this Standard. if the two
flanges ina flanged jointdo not. havethe same pres-
sure-temperature ratings, the rating of the joint at
any temperature is the lower ofthe two flange ratings
at that temperature.
2.3 Rating Temperature
The temperature shown for a corresponding pres-
sure rating is the temperature of the pressure-con-
tainingshell of the flange or flangedfitting. In
general, this temperature is the same as that of the
. contahed fluid.Use of a pressure ratingcorrespond-
ing to atemperature other than that of the contained
fluid is the responsibility of the user, subject to the
code or regulation. For any temperature
below - 20°F,the rating shall be no greater than the
rating for -20°F.

ASME 816.24-1991
2.4 Low Temperature Service
When assembled with
suitable bolting and gaskets,
and subject to the applicable code or regulations,
copper alloy flanges and flanged fittings, in accord-
ance with thisStandard, may be used attemperatures
down to -325°F.
2.5 System Hydrostatic Test
Flanged joints and flanged fittings may be sub-
jected to system hydrostatic tests at pressures not to
exceed 1.5 times the tabulated working pressure at
100°F. System testing at higher pressures is the re-
sponsibility of the user, subject to the requirements
of the applicable code or regulation.
3 SIZES AND METHOD OF DESIGNATING
