Master ASME B16.5 & B16.47 The Complete Guide to Flanges

A complete guide for Engineers & QA/QC. Covers Pressure Ratings, Materials, Markings, and Series A vs. B (NPS ½ to 60)
What you'll learn
Scope & Boundaries: Understand exactly when to apply B16.5 (NPS 1/2 to 24) versus B16.47 (NPS 26 to 60).
Pressure-Temperature Ratings: Learn the "Core Logic" of how pressure ratings drop as temperature rises, and how to interpolate for intermediate values.
Visual Identification: Instantly distinguish between Weld Neck, Slip-On, and Blind flanges, as well as Raised Face (RF) vs. Ring Joint (RTJ) facings.
Materials & Marking: Decode the "7 Key Elements" of flange marking to ensure traceability and verify Quality Assurance on site.
The Critical "Series" Distinction: Avoid the most expensive mistake in large diameter piping: mixing Series A and Series B flanges.
Bolting & Gaskets: Stop guessing. Learn the rules for High-Strength vs. Low-Strength bolting and how to match them to gaskets.
QC & Inspection: Learn the acceptance criteria for tolerances, bolt hole alignment, and facing finish imperfections.
Requirements
Basic understanding of mechanical engineering terms (helpful but not required).
No prior knowledge of ASME codes is necessary; we start from the basics.
Description
Are you confident in your ability to select, inspect, and specify the correct flanges for your piping system?"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."Flanges are the critical connection points in any industrial piping system. Yet, relying on "the way we've always done it" can lead to catastrophic procurement errors, leakage, or safety violations.This course is designed to take you from a basic understanding to an expert level in the two most important flange standards in the world: ASME B16.5 (Small Diameter) and ASME B16.47 (Large Diameter).Using a clear, step-by-step video format generated with advanced AI narration for clarity and precision, we break down hundreds of pages of code into 8 digestible modules.What You Will Master in This Course:Scope & Boundaries: Understand exactly when to apply B16.5 (NPS 1/2 to 24) versus B16.47 (NPS 26 to 60).Pressure-Temperature Ratings: Learn the "Core Logic" of how pressure ratings drop as temperature rises, and how to interpolate for intermediate values.Visual Identification: Instantly distinguish between Weld Neck, Slip-On, and Blind flanges, as well as Raised Face (RF) vs. Ring Joint (RTJ) facings.Materials & Marking: Decode the "7 Key Elements" of flange marking to ensure traceability and verify Quality Assurance on site.The Critical "Series" Distinction: Avoid the most expensive mistake in large diameter piping: mixing Series A and Series B flanges.Bolting & Gaskets: Stop guessing.
