There are many different flange standards to be found worldwide. To allow easy functionality and interchangeability, these are designed to have standardised dimensions. Common world standards include ASA/ASME (USA), PN/DIN (European), BS10 (British/Australian), and JIS/KS (Japanese/Korean). In the USA, ANSI stopped publishing B16.5 in 1996, and the standard is ASME B16.5
Design | According to EN Type | According to DIN |
---|---|---|
Weld Neck Flange | Type 11 | DIN 2627 - DIN 2638 |
Blind Flange | Type 05 | DIN 2527 |
Threaded Flange | Type 12 | DIN 2558, DIN 2565 - DIN 2569 |
Flat Flange | Type 01 | DIN 2573, DIN 2576 |
Lapped Flange | Type 02 & Type 04 | DIN 2641, DIN 2642, DIN 2655, DIN 2656 |
Germany and several other countries in the European Union mainly install flanges according to standard DIN EN 1092-1 (forged Stainless or Steel Flanges). Similar to the ASME flange standard, the EN 1092-1 standard has the basic flange forms, such as weld neck flange, blind flange, lapped flange, threaded Flange , weld on collar, pressed collars, and adapter flange such as flange coupling GD pressfittings. The different forms of flanges within the EN 1092-1 (European Norm Euronorm) is indicated within the flange name through the type.
