Lap-joint connection comes in two separate parts, One Loose Lap flange, and another stub-end or backing Ring. A loose lap flange is very identical in look and dimension to a slip-on flange, but instead of welding it directly to the pipe, it should be slid on stub end fitting. Then stub end fitting will be butt-welded to the pipe, so the flange is free to rotate on the pipe co-axial axis.
ASME B16.5 is limited to flanges and flanged fittings made from cast or forged materials. B16.5 also includes requirements and recommendations regarding flange bolts, gaskets, and flanged joints. Careful application of these B16 Standards will help users to comply with applicable regulations within their jurisdictions while achieving the operational, cost, and safety benefits to be gained from the many industry best practices.
This page will cover key dimensions for ASME B16.5 Lap Joint Flanges From 1/2 NPS to 24 NPS with Pressure rating classes 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, & 2500.
