A. General: All 125/150 pound and 250/300 pound ANSI flanges shall be weld neck and shall be domestically manufactured, forged carbon steel, conforming to ANSI B16.5 and ASTM A-181 Grade I or II or ASTM A-105-71 as made by Tube Turn, Hackney or Ladish Company, brand name or equal.

Slip on flanges will not be acceptable. Each fitting shall be stamped as specified by ANSI B16.9 and, in addition, shall have the laboratory control number stenciled on each fitting for ready reference as to physical properties and chemical composition of the material. Complete test reports may be

SECTION 22 10 10

Page | 18 required for any fitting selected at random. Flanges which have been machined, remarked, painted or otherwise produced domestically from imported forgings or materials will not be acceptable. The flanges shall have the manufacturer's trademark permanently identified in accordance with MSS SP-25. Submit data for firm certifying compliance with these Specifications.

Gaskets used shall be ring form, dimensioned to fit accurately within the bolt circle, shall be 1/16" thick, Manville service sheet packing Style 60, brand name or equal. Inside diameter shall conform to the nominal pipe size. Bolts used shall be carbon steel bolts with semifinished hexagon nuts of American Standard Heavy dimensions. All-thread rods will not be an acceptable for flange bolts. Bolts shall have a tensile strength of 60,000 psi and an elastic limit of 30,000 psi. Flat faced flanges shall be furnished where required to match flanges on pumps, check valves, strainers, and similar items. Only one manufacturer of weld flanges will be approved for each project.

2.3 GASKETS:

A. General: Gaskets shall be placed between the flanges of all flange joints.

Such gaskets shall be ring form gaskets fitting within the bolt circle of their respective flanges. Gaskets shall be 1/16" thick Manville Service Sheet Packing Style 60, brand name or equal. The inside diameter of such gaskets shall conform to the nominal pipe size and the outside diameter shall be such that the gasket extends outward to the studs or bolts employed in the flanged joint.
