Flanges and Materials

This book of tables contains fundamental information and numerical values (materials, technical delivery conditions, dimensions) for common flanges in a clear and concise form. Included in this volume are excerpts (some of which are bilingual German/English) from the most important German and International Standards covering dimensions and materials (DIN EN ISO Standards, ASME/ASTM, VdTÜV material data sheets and AD-Merkblätter).

Information and numerical values for dimensions, materials and more

This practical handbook “Flanges and Materials” comprises a wealth of useful information. From standards to material data sheets, here the user will find all essential information on pipe connection parts, with the main focus on flanges. All the latest developments in this area have been incorporated into this volume, including technical information from other publications. Data has been updated and revised in this new edition to reflect important changes. Some significant revisions in the new edition include:

• DIN EN 1092-1, Flanges and their joints — Circular flanges for pipes, valves, fittings and accessories, PN designated — Part 1: Steel flanges
• European Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU
• Parts of the AD 2000 Code of Practice (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Druckbehälter)

This volume is a useful tool for construction site operation and for the pre-planning and inspection of finished parts. In addition to the comprehensive and easy-to-read tables found in this handbook, the user should also consult the complete, original versions of the relevant standards and regulations from which they are taken.

To enable users to repair and overhaul older equipment, access to older (sometimes withdrawn) documents remains essential. These historical standards are available for download from the DIN Media media library at no charge.

Topics included

• Dimensional standards for flanges (DIN – EN – ISO)
• International dimensional standards for flanges according to ASME B
• Materials standards (German)
• Materials standards (international)
• Annex: Comparison from surface roughness of turning work pieces (flanges), Turning from surfaces, Conversion table Celsius - Fahrenheit
