Flow Measurement Code API 14.3

ISO-5167
Design Code ASME B16.36
Gaskets Standard gaskets for RF flanges are 0.625-in thick. (0.125-in thick gaskets are available as an option.)

  • Grafoil gasket
  • Spiral wound gasket without inner ring
  • Garlock gylon
  • Spiral wound gasket with inner ring

RTJ Flanges use Daniel model 560 or 590 style plate holders. The plate holder is designed with an equivalent ring gasket to match the R-number based on size and pressure class.
  • Bore Tolerances are well within the latest recommendations of API-14.3.
  • Pressure Tap Hole Location is closely controlled. Tap hole centers are 0.938-in from bearing faces of raised face flanges, placing their centerline 1-in from the face of the orifice plate when 0.063-in gasket thickness is included.
    • 1. For 3-in and smaller flanges, tap location tolerance is ± 0.016-in.
    • 2. For 4-in and larger flanges, tap location tolerance is ± 0.031-in.
  • Pressure Tap Holes – Tap hole edges on the flange bore surface are carefully inspected to be free from burrs. All roughness is eliminated. Sizes are shown in the following tables.
  • Flange Tap Connections – Standard connections are .50-in NPT. Other sizes and types are available on request.
  • Gaskets – Two 0.063-in thick(1) precision die-cut gaskets are furnished with all raised face orifice flanges. Non-asbestos gaskets are standard.
  • Dowel pins: Alignment dowel pins of the knock-out type are furnished as standard on all 2-in to 8-in raised face orifice flanges. These dowel pins assure correct alignment of the flange bores as well as centering the orifice plate bore to the flange bores within the tolerances of API-14.3.
