34、r. The use of a non-fluid thread lubricant isrecommended on all bolts.7. Dimensions and Tolerances7.1 Flange and Bolt DimensionsFlanges of 24 in. (610mm) or smaller diameter shall conform to the values for boltcircle and number and size of bolt holes, for Class-150 castiron flanges in ASME B 16.5. F
35、langes larger than 24 in. (610mm) in diameter shall conform to the values for bolt circle,number and size of bolt holes, for Class-125 cast-iron flangesin ASME B 16.1 as shown in Table 3. The tolerance for theseflange dimensions shall be the same as those contained inASME B 16.1 and B 16.5. A flat w
36、asher is to be used under allbolt heads and nuts.NOTE 4Interference between the hub and bolt spot face may occur,especially in high-pressure flanges. The use of ASME B 18.21.1 narrowwashers is suggested because of their smaller outside diameter. Thecustomer should be notified when these washers with
37、 smaller outsidediameter are to be used.NOTE 5For special-design large flanges, it may be desirable toprovide the required bolt area by using smaller bolts spaced closertogether than is normally used for steel flanges. The minimum bolt sizeshall be58 in. (16 mm). Flange dimensions shall be by purcha
38、ser-manufacturer agreement.7.1.1 Flange Face for Full-Faced Gaskets The flange faceshall be perpendicular to the axis of the fitting within12 , andshall be flat to132 in. (1 mm) for sizes up to and including18-in. (457-mm) diameter and116 in. (2 mm) for largerdiameters. For other sealing systems the
39、 tolerances must beestablished to meet the requirements of 6.1.1.7.1.2 Washer-Bearing SurfaceWasher-bearing surfaceshall be flat and parallel to the flange face within 1.7.1.3 Flange Outside DiameterOutside diameter offlanges is to be at least equal to that of ASME B 16.5 for up to24-in. (610-mm) in
40、side diameter and ASME B 16.1 for largerflanges. It is accepted practice to increase all flange outsidediameters to provide greater strength at the bolt holes.8.
