Tolerance of Socket Weld Flanges

ASME B16.5 defines tolerances for socket-weld flanges used in small-size, high-pressure piping. Socket-weld flanges have a recessed area where the pipe is inserted before being fillet-welded around the outer diameter. Below is a summary of general tolerance values per ASME B16.5. For precise values by size and class, refer directly to the standard.

Diameter of Bolt Circle (P):

Tolerance: ±1.6 mm (±1/16 inch) for flanges up to and including NPS 24. This ensures even distribution of bolt loads and proper alignment.

Diameter of Bolt Holes (Q):

Tolerance: Bolt holes are typically oversized by +3 mm (1/8 inch) relative to the bolt diameter, allowing for alignment during assembly.

Flange Thickness (T):

Tolerance: General guideline for flanges up to NPS 24 is ±3 mm (±1/8 inch). This tolerance balances pressure containment strength against weight.

Outside Diameter of Flange (O):

Tolerance: ±1.6 mm (±1/16 inch) for sizes up to NPS 24, ensuring compatibility with mating components and equipment.

Socket Depth (D):

Tolerance: Socket depth tolerances control how far the pipe is inserted before welding, so the pipe reaches the correct depth for a sound fillet weld.

Bore Diameter (B):

Tolerance: The bore diameter tolerance provides slight clearance over the pipe OD, preventing flow restriction while maintaining a gap suitable for welding without excessive clearance or interference.

Counterbore Diameter (G) and Depth:

Tolerance: Specific tolerances apply to the counterbore diameter and depth so that the pipe seats correctly within the flange socket before welding.

Facing Finish:

Tolerance: The flange face surface finish is specified in Ra (Roughness Average) and varies based on facing type and gasket material. The finish must be compatible with the selected gasket to achieve a reliable seal.

Meeting these tolerances is required for proper alignment, weld quality, and sealing performance of socket-weld flange connections. For detailed tolerance values by size and class, refer to the latest edition of ASME B16.5.
