Weld Neck Flange Bore Chart

Texas Flange has produced ASME B16.5 weld neck flanges since 1986, and the bore chart below lists the weld neck bore for every nominal pipe size from 1/2" through 48" and every pipe schedule from Sch 10 through double extra heavy. The bore follows the pipe, not the flange: a 4" Class 150 weld neck is a 9.00" outside diameter on a 7.50" bolt circle whatever the schedule, but its bore is 4.026" on standard wall pipe, 3.826" on Sch 80 and 3.152" on XXH. Standard wall and Sch 40 share a bore through 10" and split at 12"; extra heavy and Sch 80 share a bore through 8" and split at 10". Put the schedule on the order. For the flange outside diameter, bolt circle and hub, see the ASME B16.5 class tables; for why schedules work the way they do, see Flange Schedules Demystified; for drawings by schedule, see CAD and 3D flange drawings.
