About this Table
Flange pressure rating table for ASME B16.5 Group 1.1 materials, showing the maximum non shock working pressure for each class against temperature.
Basis: ASME B16.5 Table 2 1.1 (Group 1.1: A105 forgings, A216 WCB castings, A515 70, A516 70, A350 LF2). Ratings in bar gauge; linear interpolation between temperatures is allowed.
How to use
- Find the design temperature row; interpolate between rows if needed.
- Read across to the flange class.
- The design pressure must not exceed the value shown.
Notes
- Other material groups (for example stainless 2.1 or 2.2) have different ratings.
- Carbon steel above 425 °C is subject to graphitisation limits; check the standard notes.
- The psig table is converted from bar and may differ by a few psi from the US customary table.
