    Flanged joints may develop leaks at high temperatures if exposed to severe loads or thermal gradients. Fittings can be hydrostatically tested at 1.5 times their rating pressure rounded up to the nearest 25 psi increment. Testing at higher pressures is the user's responsibility. Gaskets must withstand bolt loading without damage and be suitable for service conditions, especially during high pressure testing. Flanges do not require pressure testing, but fittings must be shell tested at 1.5 times their rating for at least 10 seconds using water as the test fluid. No visible leakage is permitted.

    ASME B16.

    5
    Leak
    At temperatures above 200C (400F) for Class 150 and above 400C (750F) for other class
    designations, flanged joints may develop leakage problems unless care is taken to avoid imposing
    severe external loads, severe thermal gradients, or both.
    Hydrostatic Testing
    Flanged joints and flanged fittings may be subjected to system hydrostatic tests at a pressure of 1.5
    times the 38C (100F) rating rounded off to the next higher 1 bar (25 psi) increment. Testing at any
    higher pressure is the responsibility of the user, taking into account the requirements of the applicable
    code or regulation.
    a. The pressure class ratings covered by ASME B16.5 are: 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, 2500
    b. The standard finish for raised face flanges per ASME B16.5 is: 125 to 250 / inch
    c. Socket weld and threaded flanges
    temperatures if thermal
    cycles are involved: 50 5000F

    are not recommended for service beyond the following

    d. Low strength bolting is: 30 KSI yield strength


    e. Ring joint sidewall surfaces (gasket groove) must not exceed roughness. - 63 / in
    f. The three basic parts to a flanged joint are: Flanges, bolts, gaskets
    g. The maximum temperature for hydro testing a fitting is: 1250F
    .
    4.2 Identification Markings
    4.2.1 Name. The manufacturers name or trademark shall be applied.
    5.4 GasketsRing joint gasket materials shall conform to ASME B16.20. Materials for other gaskets are
    described in Annex C. The user is responsible for selection of gasket materials which will withstand the
    expected bolt loading without injurious crushing, and which are suitable for the service conditions.
    Particular attention should be given to gasket selection if a system hydrostatic test approaches or
    exceeds the test pressure specified in para. 2.6.
    8 PRESSURE TESTING
    8.1 Flange Test
    Flanges are not required to be pressure tested.
    8.2 Flanged Fitting Test
    8.2.1 Shell Pressure Test. Each flanged fitting shall be given a shell pressure test.
    8.2.2 Test Conditions. The shell pressure test for flanged fittings shall be at a pressure no less than
    1.5 times the 38C (100F) pressure rating rounded off to the next higher 1 bar (25 psi) increment.
    8.2.3 Test Fluid. The pressure test shall be made using water, which may contain a corrosion inhibitor
    or kerosene as the test fluid. Other suitable test fluids may be used provided their viscosity is no
    greater than that of water. The test fluid temperature shall not exceed 50C (125F).
    8.2.4 Test Duration. The test duration shall be as follows.

    8.2.5 Acceptance. No visible leakage is permitted through the pressure boundary wall.

    Flanged fitting wall thickness

    Rated working pressure

    Fitting Local Areas. Local areas having less than minimum wall thickness are acceptable provided
    that all of the following conditions are satisfied:
    (a) The area of sub-minimum thickness can be enclosed by a circle whose diameter is no greater than
    0.35 dtm, where d is the tabulated fitting inside diameter and tm is the minimum wall thickness as
    shown in the tables listed in para. 6.1.1.
    (b) Measured thickness is not less than 0.75 tm.
    (c) Enclosure circles are separated from each other by an edge-to-edge distance of more than 1.75
    dtm.
