Separable Flange Material

Interchangeable separable flanges are standard for
Mark One valve bodies through 4 inch in Class 150, 300
and 600 ANSI ratings, and for 6 and 8 inch bodies in
Class 300 and 600. With separable end flanges, a
Class 600 body can be adapted for Class 150, 300, or
600 service by simply changing to the proper end
flanges.
Separable flanges are usually furnished in carbon steel Figure 6-11: Buttweld End Connection

specified if the atmospheric conditions or the tempera-
ture warrants it. End Flange Dimensions
