Threaded flange: dimensions and dimensional drawing to ASME B16.5
All dimensions of the threaded flange to ASME B16.5 in one table, the dimensional drawing of your size above it – available from stock or to order. Threaded flanges to ASME B16.5 (TH) from NPS 1/2 to 24 in pressure classes 150 to 2500 – the pipe is screwed in with an NPT taper thread to ASME B1.20.1, not with the R/Rp thread of the European standards. Choose the class and nominal pipe size: drawing and dimension table show outside diameter O, flange thickness tf, raised face R, bolt circle W, bolt holes, hub X, length through hub Y and the minimum thread length T – in millimetres, with the inch value in brackets and with the tolerances.

Dimensional drawing for your size
The dimensional drawing – also called dimension sheet, outline drawing or dimension sketch – shows every dimension, the bolt pattern and the tolerances for your size.
How it works: Choose Class 150 in the field “Pressure class” and NPS 4 in the field “Nominal pipe size (NPS)”. The dimensional drawing immediately shows every dimension of the threaded flange with tolerances, the table below all sizes. “Print this size as PDF” takes the drawing with you.
Example NPS 4 Class 150: outside diameter O 228.6 mm (9 in), bolt circle diameter W 190.5 mm, bolt holes Z × I 8 × ⌀19.1 mm, stud bolt 5/8", flange thickness tf 22.4 mm (0.9 in), raised face diameter R 157.2 mm, weight 5.5 kg.

Where exactly it is measured
- outside diameter O
- largest diameter of the flange plate, measured across the edge
- bolt circle diameter W
- diameter of the circle through the hole centres – with an even number of holes, from hole centre to opposite hole centre
- bolt holes Z × I
- count the holes, then measure one hole – the hole is 1/8 in (3.2 mm) larger than the bolt
- stud bolt
- bolt diameter in inches (UNC thread) – length by facing RF or RTJ from the bolting table
- flange thickness tf
- minimum thickness of the flange plate WITHOUT the raised face – measure from the back face to the foot of the raised face – the raised face (1.5 mm for Class 150/300, 6.4 mm from Class 400) is added. Older tables (dimension C, before 2003) included the raised face for Class 150/300
- raised face diameter R
- outside diameter of the raised face, measured across its edge – for RTJ flanges the ring groove to Table 5 applies instead
- hub diameter X
- measure at the transition to the flange plate, where the hub is thickest
- length through hub Y
- from the flange face without the raised face to the end of the hub – the overall height without the face
- thread length (min.) T
- minimum length of the NPT thread to ASME B1.20.1 – checked with the thread gauge, not with the calliper. On Class 150 the chamfer at the start of the thread counts
- weight
- calculated by Zickwolff from the nominal dimensions at 7.85 kg/dm³ – guide value, not a standard value
- raised face height (RF)
- Stands proud of the flange face and is not included in tf – 1.5 mm up to Class 300, 6.4 mm from Class 400.
Tolerances (limit deviations): what range the standard permits
For each dimension the permissible range is given – to ASME B16.5, for O, X and Y to the manufacturers’ values, because the standard does not limit these dimensions of the threaded flange. Minimum and maximum are shown instead of the deviation that would first have to be worked out. In the drawing this is shortened to tolerance – the word everyone uses in practice. In technical terms the two values given are the limit dimensions of the dimension, their distance is the tolerance and the deviations from the nominal size are the limit deviations. The basis is section 7 (tolerances). Where the standard specifies nothing, that is stated.
Further properties with limit deviations
These properties have no nominal dimension in the dimension table, but the standard limits them. For incoming inspection they are often the decisive ones – they are what makes a bolted joint fail on site.
| spacing of adjacent bolt holes | limit deviation ±0.8 mm |
|---|---|
| concentricity of bolt circle and facing | at most 1.5 mm |
| perpendicularity of the face to the thread axis | at most 1° |
Measuring on the part: the dimensions in the picture
Every dimension has its reason – whoever knows why they measure, measures better.
Where the standard gives no limit deviation of its own
- outside diameter O – The standard specifies no tolerance for the outside diameter – it affects neither fit-up nor sealing (B16.5 Appendix F-2.3). Manufacturer catalogues supply ±1.6 mm up to 24 in.
- hub diameter X – The standard specifies no tolerance for the hub diameter at the base. Manufacturer catalogues supply ±1.6 mm up to 24 in.
Sources of the limit deviations (10 entries)
- spacing of adjacent bolt holes – bolt hole to bolt hole
- concentricity of bolt circle and facing – concentricity from NPS 3
- perpendicularity of the face to the thread axis – perpendicularity of the face to the thread axis up to NPS 5
- outside diameter – B16.5 Appendix F-2.3: outside diameter untoleranced – catalogue value up to 24 in in the note
- bolt circle diameter – bolt circle
- raised face diameter – raised face 1/16 in (Class 150/300)
- flange thickness – flange thickness up to NPS 18
- hub diameter – hub diameter at base untoleranced in B16.5 – catalogue value up to 24 in in the note
- length through hub – length through hub up to NPS 18
- thread length (min.) – thread within the limits of the thread gauge (NPT, ASME B1.20.1)
This information does not replace the standard itself. Only the limit deviations for the size selected here are reproduced. In full – for the sizes shown, NPS 1/2 to 24, Class 150 to 2500 – they are given in ASME B16.5:2025, section 7 (tolerances). The standard is available from ASME. We have reproduced the values on this page from the manufacturers’ tolerance tables. For the outside diameter O, the hub diameter X and the length through hub Y of the threaded flange the standard sets no tolerance – the manufacturers’ values apply there. The thread has no numerical tolerance, it is checked with the NPT gauge. The perpendicularity of the face to the thread axis is not in the tables – it is given according to the standard.
Why limit deviations exist at all and how to read them is explained on a page of its own: Tolerances and limit deviations.

Dimensions are nominal dimensions to ASME B16.5 and do not replace the data sheet of the actual item. No statement about pressure or temperature suitability and no statement about the material. NPS is a reference number in inches, not a dimension – the pipe outside diameter Ah differs from it up to NPS 12. Direct link to this size
The dimension letters of ASME B16.5
Dimension letters to ASME B16.5. Manufacturers’ catalogues partly use other abbreviations, for example T or C for tf and BC for W.
- O – outside diameter of the flange plate
- tf – flange thickness without raised face
- R – diameter of the raised face
- W – bolt circle diameter
- Z × ØI – number and diameter of bolt holes
- X – hub diameter at the plate
- Y – length through hub, from the flange face without raised face
- T – minimum length of the NPT thread
There is no bore B – the thread is the passage. Catalogues often write Thr for T. Nothing is welded, the pipe is screwed in from the hub side.
Class instead of PN
Class instead of PN: the pressure class does not say what pressure the flange holds – that is in the pressure–temperature table of the material group. A Class 150 flange in A105 carries 19.6 bar at 38 °C, considerably less at 200 °C – Class 150 is not 150 psi. The table counts for design, the class for ordering.
More on this: rule of thumb Class 150.
How to measure correctly
- Flange thickness tf: measure from the back of the plate to the foot of the raised face, not across the face. Since the 2003 edition the standard gives the thickness without the raised face for all classes – the raised face (1.5 mm for Class 150 and 300, 6.4 mm from Class 400) is added. Anyone comparing with an older table (dimension C) finds values 1/16 in larger for Class 150/300 – it is the same flange.
- Thread: NPT to ASME B1.20.1 – flank angle 60°, taper 1:16 on the diameter. It is checked with the NPT gauge, one turn more or less than the gauge notch is permitted (ASME B16.5 6.9.5). The thread length T is a minimum: on Class 150 the chamfer at the start of the thread counts, from Class 300 the flange has a counterbore at the back. The thread axis may deviate from the flange face by at most 5 mm per metre.
- Hub: the hub diameter X is measured at the transition to the plate. The hub may be straight or tapered – at most 7° to ASME B16.5. The length through hub Y runs from the flange face without the raised face to the end of the hub.
- Facing: the default is the raised face (RF) with stock finish – ring joint (RTJ) has a ring groove instead of the raised face, needs longer stud bolts and a different overall thickness. The connecting dimensions O, W and holes stay the same.
- Facing roughness: the usual supply is the stock finish with a spiral groove, roughness about 3.2 to 6.3 µm Ra (125 to 250 µin) – intended for soft and spiral-wound gaskets. Smooth finishes are ordered, not assumed. Permissible imperfections are regulated by the standard per raised face diameter.
Dimensions per pressure class
Values in mm from manufacturers’ and suppliers’ documentation, checked against ASME B16.5-2025. A dash means: not documented in our sources. tf without raised face, Y from the flange face without raised face, T as a minimum length, weight calculated by Zickwolff (7.85 kg/dm³).
What the dimension letters mean
- NPS
- nominal pipe size NPS – nominal pipe size: determines the bore and the hub diameter at the welding end – not the outside diameter of the flange plate
- O
- outside diameter O – largest diameter of the flange plate, measured across the edge
- tf
- flange thickness tf – minimum thickness of the flange plate WITHOUT the raised face – measure from the back face to the foot of the raised face – the raised face (1.5 mm for Class 150/300, 6.4 mm from Class 400) is added. Older tables (dimension C, before 2003) included the raised face for Class 150/300
- R
- raised face diameter R – outside diameter of the raised face, measured across its edge – for RTJ flanges the ring groove to Table 5 applies instead
- W
- bolt circle diameter W – diameter of the circle through the hole centres – with an even number of holes, from hole centre to opposite hole centre
- Z × ØI
- bolt holes Z × ØI – count the holes, then measure one hole – the hole is 1/8 in (3.2 mm) larger than the bolt
- Stud
- stud bolt – bolt diameter in inches (UNC thread) – length by facing RF or RTJ from the bolting table
- X
- hub diameter X – measure at the transition to the flange plate, where the hub is thickest – the hub may be straight or tapered (Figure 4 of the standard)
- Y
- length through hub Y – from the back face of the flange plate to the end of the hub – the whole flange height without the raised face
- G (kg)
- weight G – catalogue value approx., standard bore – trade figure, not a standard value

Pressure test
Pressure test: the standard does not require the manufacturer to pressure test the flange – the flange is tested with the system it is installed in, when the applicable code requires it. Only flanged fittings (elbows, tees with flanges) receive a shell pressure test at 1.5 times the rated pressure at 38 °C. Anyone needing a works pressure test of the flange orders it expressly.
Marking
Marking: the flange carries the manufacturer’s name or mark, the material (ASTM number and grade, e.g. A105 or A182 F316L), the pressure class (150, 300 …), the standard designation B16 (or B16.5), the nominal size NPS, for welding neck flanges the bore or schedule, and the heat or lot number for traceability. The facing type is not part of the mandatory marking – RTJ flanges additionally carry the ring number.
Ordering unambiguously
How to order unambiguously: nominal size, class, type, thread, facing, material, certificate – for example “threaded flange NPS 1 Class 150 TH RF, NPT, ASTM A105, EN 10204 3.1”. State the thread explicitly: NPT to ASME B1.20.1. If you screw in threaded pipe to EN 10255 with R thread, you need the threaded flange type 13 to EN 1092-1 with Rp thread.
Above NPS 24
Above NPS 24, B16.5 no longer applies but ASME B16.47 with its incompatible series A and B (different drilling) – the series belongs in every enquiry.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find the dimensions of a threaded flange NPS 1 class 150 to ASME B16.5?
The dimension table on this page lists all available sizes to ASME B16.5; the dimensional drawing above it shows the selected size with all dimensions and tolerances and can be printed as a PDF - the data sheet for your size.
Does threaded pipe to EN 10255 fit the ASME threaded flange?
No. Threaded pipe to EN 10255 has R thread to EN 10226-1 (Whitworth, 55° flank angle), the ASME threaded flange NPT to ASME B1.20.1 (60°). Even where the number of threads is the same, for instance at 1/2 and 3/4 inch, flank angle and taper do not match – the joint does not seal. For R thread the counterpart is the threaded flange type 13 to EN 1092-1 with Rp thread.
Threaded flange or slip-on flange?
The threaded flange is fitted without welding – that is its advantage where welding is not allowed. It is intended for small sizes and low alternating loads, the thread weakens the pipe. Which type is permitted is set by the code that applies to the plant.
Why are Class 1500 and 2500 missing above NPS 2 1/2?
The manufacturers’ catalogues list threaded flanges in these classes only up to NPS 2 1/2 – we therefore do not show larger sizes. They can be enquired as a special make.

How this data is compiled. This page does not reproduce a standard. It shows the dimensions you need for an enquiry, an order and installation – for sizes we supply, checked against manufacturers’ and suppliers’ documentation and against our own product data. What you see here is what the market supplies, checked against the standard – or calculated by us. How we select our sources and keep them up to date: About this knowledge.
Dimensions: as the market supplies them – from manufacturers’ and suppliers’ documentation and from our own product data, checked against ASME B16.5-2025; weights calculated by Zickwolff (nominal dimensions, 7.85 kg/dm³); dimension letters to ASME B16.5-2025 Table 8. Tolerances: tolerances from manufacturers’ and suppliers’ documentation, where these give none ASME B16.5-2025 section 7. No liability – the standard in force governs.
