ASME B16.5 flange bolt patterns: bolt circle, number of holes and bolt size, Class 150 and 300, NPS ½ to 24
What is the bolt pattern of an ASME B16.5 flange (bolt circle, number of holes, bolt size) by NPS and class? · Standard part · basis: ASME B16.5 bolt circle and hole counts from Texas Flange (inch) checked against Project Materials (mm); bolt diameter and stud length from Wermac's stud tables
Also called: 150# flange bolt pattern, 2 inch 150# flange bolt pattern, b16.5 bolt chart, ansi flange bolt pattern, flange bolt chart, flange bolt circle, flange bolt size chart, 300# flange bolt pattern, class 150 bolt pattern, class 300 bolt pattern, flange stud bolt length, flange bolt hole size, how many bolts on a 4 inch flange, pipe flange pcd
Exact dimensions. True size, with no printing tolerance added.
- sizes
- 40 in table
Notes
- Bolt circle, hole count and bolt size are the same for weld-neck, slip-on, blind, lap-joint, socket-weld and threaded flanges of one NPS and class.
- Hole diameter is the bolt diameter plus 1/8 in. Stud length is for a raised-face joint (two flanges with 1/16 in raised faces, a gasket, two nuts) as printed in Wermac's tables; ring-joint studs are longer and are not listed.
- Bolt holes straddle the centrelines; there is no hole on the vertical axis (the usual B16.5 layout, not stated in the tables cited).
- Bolt circle is printed in inch; mm is the inch value × 25.4. Class 150 and Class 300 flange files with these holes are on the class pages (blind and slip-on flanges at every NPS).
- Class 600 and above, and NPS 22, are not listed: no clean multi-source table was available.

Questions
What is the bolt pattern of a 2 inch 150# flange?

What is the bolt pattern of a 6 inch 300# flange?
12 holes of 0.875 in on a 10.625 in (269.9 mm) bolt circle, for 0.75 in bolts.
