1 Scope This Standard specifies the classification and specification of pressure vessel flanges, the materials of flanges, studs and nuts and their matching with the gaskets, the maximum allowable working pressure and technical requirements at tall temperaturelevels, as well as the marking. This Standard is applicable to the flanges of carbon steel and low-alloy steel pressure vessels that the nominal pressure is 0.25MPa~6.40MPa and working temperature is -70℃ ~450℃. 2 Normative References The following documents are indispensable for the application of this standard. For dated references, only the dated edition is applicable to this document. For undated references, the latest editions of the normative documents (including all the amendments) are applicable to this document.
