Im December 1969, American National Standards Committee B16 changed its name from
Standardization of Pipe Flanges and Fitings to Standardization of Valves, Fittings, and Gaskets,
reflecting American National Standards Institute (ANSI) approval of a broadened scope forthe
51S Commitice. At the same meeting, the committee approved a plan for the organization of a
subcommittee to develop a new standard for steel valves with other than Ranged ends.
Subsequently, B16 Subcomnmitige 15 was appointed and held its frst meeting in December 1970.
istoriealy in the development of standards and pressuze-temporature ratings for stel valves,
the various rating cesses fr flanges provided an obviously logical basis for valve ratings. Steel
valves with flanges o standard dimensions, many also offered in buttwelding-end versions, were
given the same pressure-temperature ratings asthe anges, In 1949, anew edition ofthe Starlard,
thon designated Bie-1949, was published, in which a table covering wall thickness requirements
for weld end valves had been added. In 196, the Manufacturer's Stendandization Sociol of the
Valve and Fittings Industyy developed and published Standard Practie SP 66, covering presure~
temperature ratings of steel butwelding-end valves. SP 66 introduced a new method for establish-
ing ratingsby making ratings a function of the mechanical strength propertis of the body material
at all temperatures. Following the publication of SP 66, B16 activated Subcommittee 4 for the
purpose of studying the general aubject of presoure-temporature ratings and developing rational
Exiteria for such ratings
Inthe B16 charge to Subcommittee 15, it was established thatthe new Standard would replace
SP 66 and also remove the reference to buttwelding-end valves from B16.5. Flanged-end valves
would continue to be covered in BIGS but on a fully specified basis, rather than as an add-on
"Asthe workof the subcommittee gt underway, concurrent action was initiated in Subcommittee
3 for revision of B16, Subsequent operations of Subeomunittes 3 and 15 were closely coordinated
to provide assurance that the new Standacd and the revised B16.5 would be compatible
‘A Key anc basic issue of mutual concem in this coordination was the matter of pressure~
temperature ratings. It was necessary to incorporate the SP 66-type ratings in the new Standard,
but atthe same time also to provide ratings equivalent to those in BI6.5 covering the buttwelding
esuivalents of langed-end valves, Subcommittee 4 had made definitive recommendations for
revisions in the flange ratings and it was obviously desirable ta rationalize the two types of
fatings as they would appear side-by-side in the new Standard
‘The results of these efforts appear erin inthe form of pressure-temperature ratings tables
The method of computing the ratings is detailed in Nonmandatory Appendix B, The ratings
dif: from the pre-1968 B16. ratings because they are now calculated as a function of the |
‘mechanical properties ofthe pressure boundary materials in contast to the empirical basis used
previously. A change inthe SP 664ype rating (herein designated Special Clas) discontinues the
Applicaton ofa plasticly factor a elevated temperatures which, in the opinion of the committee,
could not be justified in dimension sensitive valves
‘Other innovations include the coverage of forged oF fabricated body valves and an increase in
detail coverage by pressure-temperature ratings from 17 materials in BIG to 24 material
groups in the new Standard and inthe revised B16.5, Dimensional requirements have been refined |
and augmented to give the designer more latitude and the user more assurance of adequacy. A
‘number of the innovations have had trial use and at least some degree of acceptance, as they
have been taken from the section on valve requirements developed and published by the
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to cover valves used in nuclear power plans. A section
‘on valve testing eliminates uncertainties on such points as seat test requirements and stem seal
testa
“Appooal forthe 1973 eiton ofthe Standard by ANSI was granted in Otober 1973
In December 1973, a reorganization of the subcommittee structure for B16 was approved.
Subcommittee 15 wos redesignated as Subcommittee N and was assigned resporsibllty for all
steel valves. Work began t© include coverage for flanged-end valves in ANSI B16.34, The 1977
Ucanaadta ALDEN ETOSINOS LTOALTOA, Dounianied 10162015 209 Single usecase ery. Copying a netwang bas edition contained flanged-end valve requirements formerly in ANSI BI6.5. The eating procedutes
of B16.5 were adopted and made applicable to Standard Class batiwelding-end valves. The
method of deriving ratings was revised. Major changes were made in the method for determining
ratings for austenitic stainless ste! valves and ratings for Class 150 valves forall materials. The
pressure-temperature fables and materials groups were rearranged and revised using data from.
the reference Sections of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code through the Summer 1975
‘Addencia, A number of clavifying and editorial revisions were also made in order to improve
the text. twas also resolved that frequent minor changes in prssure-temperature ratings beatse
of revisions fo the reference material stength property tables should be avoided and that, asa
general guide, such changes should not be consicered unless resulting ratings would be changed
by an amount in exces of 10%
Approval forthe 1977 edition of the Staniard by ANSI was granted on June 16, 1977.
Datig 1979, work began on the 1981 edition. Materials coverage was expanded. Nickel alloys
and ofher alloys were added. Bolting rus were revised to accommodate special alloy bolting
for the new materials. Revisions were included to clacfy requirements for rotary motion valves,
eg, bal valvesand butterfly valves, Wafer type valves were speifclly identified. Other clarify.
ing and editorial evsions were made ln order to improve the text.
Following approvals by the Standards Committee and Secretariat, approval forthe 1961 edition
was granted Dy ANSI on August 14,1961
Duting 1985, revisions were proposed that added requirements for socket weldingend and
theaded-end valves, The inclusion of requirements for these valves increased the scope of the
Standard. Also, the listings for nickel alloy and other alley valves materials were expanded. Rules
for threaded body joints were added, and wafertype valve body rules improved.
Following approvals by the Standards Committee and ASME, approval for the 1988 edition
was granted by ANSI on February 24, 1988.
Duting 1993 and carrying over into 1994, revisions offered included multiple material marking
‘and an improved interpolation procedsre. New materials were added and the presetize
temperature rating tables were recalculated in aecordance with Nonmandatory Appendix B using
the latest data available from the reference ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code sources, An
appendix was added covering nonmandatory requirements for a quality system program.
Following the approvals the Standaeds Committe and ASME, approval for the new edition
‘was granted by ANSI on Oxtober 3, 1996.
‘Work was storied during 1999 to revise the Standard to include metic unis as the primary
sefecence units while maintaining US. customary units i ether parenthetical or separate forms.
‘The goal is to delete the US. customary units in a future revision. All pressure-temperatce
ratings have been recalculated using data from the latest edition of the ASME Briler and Pressure
‘Vessel Code, Section Il, Part D, As a result, same materials have been shifted to other material
groups and some changes were made to some valve ratings within matarial groups. Because of

An American National Standard is intended asa basis for common practice by the manufacturer,
the uset, and the general public. The existence of an American National Standacd does not in
itself preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of products not conforming to thestandard, Mandatory
conformance is established, for exemple, by reference to the standard in a code, specification,
sales contract, or public law.
It should be noted, specifically regarding this Standard, that certain requirements reflecting
the general application of valves in a wide variety of services may not be considered to be
appropriate for some valves whose application is known and which may incorporate certain
features found by successful experience to be satisfactory. A specific case in point is that involving
valves developed and used in gas and petroleum produc pipelines, Conformance of such valves
to the existing AP] 6D may by itself be sulficient to satisfy requirements of federal rules and
‘egulationsestablished by the Department of Teansportation, Office of Pipeline Safety Operations.
Another specific case is that involving vaives used in instrument systems under an applicable
piping code. Conformance of such valves to the requirements of an existing piping code may by
itself be suificient to satisfy jurisdictional rules and regulations,

‘ment, These systems of units ace to be regarced separately. The values stated in each system are
not exact equivalents; therefore each systom shall be used independently of the other. Combining

VALVES — FLANGED, THREADED, AND WELDING END
1 SCOPE
1.1 General
This Standard applies to new const-uetion and covers
ppressure-temperature ratings, dimensions, tolerances,
materials, nondestructive examination requirements,
testing, and marking for cast, forged, and fabricated
flanged, threaded, and welding end and wafer or
Aangeless valves of steel, nickel-base alloys, and other
alloys shown in Table 1. Wafer or flangeless valves,
olted or through-bolt types, that are installed between
flanges or against a flange are treated as flanged-end
valves, Alternative rules for NPS2 and smaller valves
are given in Mandatory Appendix V.
1.2 Applicability
1.21 Standards and Specifications, Standards and
specifications adopted by reference inthis Standard and
the names and addressas of the spansoring organiz
tions are shown in Mandatory Appendix VIIL Itis not
‘considered practical to refer to a specific edition of each
of the standards and specifications in the individual
clause references. Instead, the specific edition references
are included in Mandatory Appendix Vill. A product
made in conformance with a prior edition of reference
standards and in all other respects conforming to this
Standard shell be consicered to be in conformance even
though the edition reference may have been changed in
a subsequent revision of this Standard.
1.2.2 Time of Purchase, Manufacture, or
Installation. ‘The pressuretemperature ratings
included in this Standard are applicable, upon publica-
tion, to all valves covered within its scope that meet its
requirements. For unused valves, valves that have been
maintained in inventory, the manufacturer may certify
conformance to this edition provided that itcan be dem
onstrated that all requirements of this edition have boen
‘met, However, where such components were installed
under the pressure-temperature ratings of an earlier
edition of ASME B16.34, those ratings shall apply except
asmay be governed by an applicable Code or regulation.
1.2.3 UserAccountablliy. ThisStandard cites dutios
and responsibilities that are to be assured by the valve
user in the areas of, for example, application, installa-
tion, system hydrostatic testing, operation, and material
selection.
1.24 Quallty Systems. Requirements relating to a
valve manufacturer’s Quality System Program are
described in Nonmandatory Appendix C.
1.2.5 Relevant Units. This Standard states values
in both SI (Metric) and US, Customary units. These
systems of units are to be regarded separately as stan
dazd, Within the text, the U.S. Customary units are,
shown in parentheses or in separate tables that appear
in Mandatory Appendix VIL The values stated in each
ayatem axe not exact equivalents; therefor, itis required
that each system of units be used independently of the
‘other, Combining values from the two systems consti
tutes nonconformance with the Standard.
1.3 Selection of Valve Types and Material Service
Conditions
Criteria for selection of valve types and materials suit-
able for particular fluid service are not within the scope
of this Standard,
1.4 Convention
For determining conformance with this Standare, the
convention for fixing significant digits where limits
(maximum and minimum values) are specified shall be
as defined in ASTM E29, This roquires that an obsorved
or calculated value be rounded off to the nearest unit
in the last right-hand dlgit used for expressing the limit
‘Decimal values and tolerances do not imply a particular
‘method of measurement.
1.5 Denotation
1.5.1 Pressure Rating Designation. Class, followed
bya dimensionless number, isthe designation for pres-
sure-temperatuze ratings, Standardized designationsare
as follows:
Cisse 150300 600900 50D 04500
Class 400, an infrequently used flanged-end valve des-
ignation, is regarded as an intermediate class
designation.
1.5.2 Size, NPS, followed by a dimensionless num-
ber, is the designation for nominal valve size. NPS is
related fo the reference sional diameter, DN, used in

temperature rating. However, pressure-tempesatureral-
ings or the valve may be otherwise limited by construc-
tion details or material design considerations, in which
‘ase the requirements of paras, 43.3 and 7.26 shall be
met,
2.1.2 Standard Class Valves, Valves conforming to
the requirements ofthis Standard, except for those meet-
ing the additional requirements of section 8 for Special
Class valves or of Mandatory Appendix V for Limited
Class valves, shall be designated Standard Class valves,
Ratings shall not exceed the values that are listed in
‘Table 2 with an identifying label “A — Standard Class.”
2.13 Special Class Valves. Threaded or welding:
end valves that conform to all the requirements of
para, 21.2, and in addition have suceessfully passed the
‘examinations required by section 8, may be designated
Special Class valves. Pressure-temperature ratings shall
not exceed the values that aze listed in Table 2 with
an identifying label “B — Special Class.” Special Class
ratings shall not be used for flanged-end valves.
2.1.8 Limited Class Valves. Welding- or threaded-
‘end valves in sizes NPS 2% and smaller that conform,
to the requirements of Mandatory Appendix ¥ may be
designated Limited Class valves. Pressure-temperature
ratings shall not exceed the values calculated in accor-
dance with Mandatory Appendix V. Limited Class rat-
ings shall not be used for flanged-end valves.
2.4.5 Intermediate Rated Valves. A Standard Class
or Special Class welding- or threaded-end vaive or
Standard Class 400 flanged-end valve may be assigned’
an intermediate pressure-temperature rating o Class
in accordance with para. 6.14, provided all other appli-
cable requicements of this Standard are met. Costes:
pondingly, an intermediate prossure rating or Class for
Limited Class valves having welding ends or threadedt
ends may be assigned pressure-temperature ratings as
determined by the method described in Mandatory
Appendix V in conjunction withthe interpolation proce-
dure described in para, 6.1.4

2.2 Rating Temperature
‘The temperature shown for a corresponding pressure
rating is the temperature ofthe pressure-containing shell
of the component. In general, this temperature is the
same as that of the contained fluid. Use of a pressure
rating corresponding to a temperature other than that
of the contained fiuid is the responsibility of the user,
subject to the requicements of applicable codes and
regulations.
2.3 Temperature Effects
2.3.1 High Temperature. Application at tempera
‘ures in the creep range will result in decreasing bolt
oads as relaxation of flanges, bolts, and gaskets takes
place. Flanged joints subject to thermal gradients may
likewise be subject to decreasing bolt loads, Decreased
bolt loads diminish the capacity of the flanged joint to
sustain Toads effectively without leakage. At elevated
‘temperatures, flanged joints, and in particular Class 150,
may develop leakage problems unless care is taken t©
avoid imposing severe external loads or severe thermal
‘gradient.
2.3.2 Low Temperature. ‘The pressure rating for ser~
vice at any temperate below -29°C (-20°F) shall be
xno greater than the rating shown in Table 2 for -29°C
(-20°F), Some of the materials listed in Table 1, notably
some carbon steels, may undergo a decrease in ductility
‘when used at low temperatures to such an extent as 10
be unable to safely resist shock loading, sudden change
of stress, or high stress concentration. Some codes or
regulations may require impact testing for applications
even where temperatures are higher than 29°C (-20°F).
When such requirements apply, it i the responsibility

American Welding Society and listed in Appendix B of the
‘ASME Boer and Presie Cede, Seton IX are pert within
the liniations established by Acie V ofthe ASME Boller 2nd
Pressure Vessel Code, Section DC
‘of the user fo ensure these requirements are communi-
cated to the manufacturer prior tothe time of purchase.
2.3.3 Fluid Thermal Expansion. Under certain condi-
tions, some double-sested valve designs are capable of
sealing simultaneously against pressure differential
from the center cavity tothe adjacent pipe in both dizec-
tions, A circumstance in which the center cavity is filled
or partially filled with liquid and subjected to an increase
im temperature can result in an excessive buildup of
preseure in the center cavity that may lead to pressure
boundary failure. An example is a piping system in
which liquid from the condensing, cleaning, or testing
fluids accumulates in the center cavity ofa closed valve.
Such accumulation may result from leakage past the
‘upstream seatof the valve. If during subsecuentstartup,
the vaive is not relieved of the liquid by partial opening
of the valve, or by some other method, the retained
quid may be heated ducing warm-up of the system,
‘Where such a condition is possible, its the responsibility
of the user to provide, or require to be provided, means
in design, installation, or operation proceciure to assure
that the pressucein the valve will not execed thatallowed
by this Standard for the attained temperature.
2. Guldance for the Use of Flanged Valve Ratings
Application of fanged-end valves at either high or
Jow temperatures or in a service subject to rapid fluid
temperature variations entails some risk of flanged joint
leakage. Guidance in this regard is provided in
ASME B165 and more extensively in ASME PCC-1, Pre
‘cautions regarding the bolting of raised face flanges to
cast ion flanges are given in ASME B165 and B16.47.
2.5 Variances:
Except as provided in paras. 25:1, 252, and 253, the
pressure-temperature ratings are the maximum allow=
able working pressure for the corresponding
temperature
2.51. Safety Valves, Relief Valves, or Rupture Disk
Operation. Under conditions of safety valve, rellef
valve, or rupture disk operation, pressure may exceed
the rated pressure for a valve furnished under this
Standard by no more than 10% of that defined by the
pressuxe-temperature rating. Such conditions are neoes-
sarily of limited duration. Damage that may result from,
pressure excursions in excess of the aforementioned is
solely the responsibility of the user
2.5.2 OtherVariances. Damage that may result from
subjecting a valve to other operating variances (tran:
sients) in excess ofits pressure rating is solely therespon-
sibility of the user.
2.5.3 Pressure Testing Limitations. A valve user

2.6 Multiple Material Grades
‘Material for valve bodies, bonnets, or cover plates may
meet the requirements of more than one specification or
the requirements of more than one grade of a specifica-
tion listed in Table 1. In either case, the pressure
temperature ratings for any of these specifications or
grades may be used provided the requirements of
para. 5.1 are satisfied; the material is marked in accor-
ance with para. 4.2.8;and accountis taken of para.5.22
2.7 Local Operating Conditions,
When a valve (or series of valves) is installed in a
piping system that operates with different pressures (or
temperatures) on either side of the closed valve, itis the
responsibility of the user to ensure that the installed
valve is suitable for the highest of the rating req
ments considering combinations of pressure and
temperature
3. NOMINAL PIPE SIZE
AAs applied in this Standatd the use of the phrase
“nominal pipe size” or the designation NPS followed
by a number is for the purpose of pipe or valve-end
connection size centification. The number is not neces-
sarily thesarneas the valve inside diameter. Therelation-
ship between inside diameter (see para. 6.1.2) and
nominal pipe size is shown in Nonmandatory

Large diameter flanges per ASME B16.£7 may be
Series A or Series B and must be specified by the pur-
‘chaser. When required, valve end flanges may be fur-
nnished with tapped holes for engaging flange bolting.
‘Thread engagement in a flange assembly with tapped
holes shall provice full effective thread engagement, nat
Including the chamfered thread, for a tength at least
equal to the nominal diameter of the bolt thread. For
additional considerations, see para. 6.4.3.
6.2.3 Socket Welding Ends. ‘The socket bore diame-
ter, depth of socket, and end surfaces shall be in accor-
dance with ASME BI6.11. The minimum thickness of
the socket wall extending over the socket depth, incluc-
ing any associated counterbore, shall be in accordance
with Table 4
6.2.4 Threaded Ends. End connections shall have
taper pipe threads in aecorciance with ASME B1.20.1.
‘The minimum thickness of the wall extending over the
length of an internal thread, including any tap bore or
counterbore, shal bein accordance with Table 4, Theead
Jengths and gaging requirements shall be in accordance
with ASME B16.
6.2.5 Intermediate Rated Socket Welding and
Threaded-End Valves. The minimum socket wall thick
ness and the minimum threaded-end wall thickness for
valves with intermediate ratings may be determined by
interpolation using the method of para. 1.4 using wall
thickness values from Table 4,
6.2.6 End to End. End-to-end dimensions and face-
to-face dimensions for buttwelding-end valves anel for
flanged-ond vaives shall be in accordance with
ASME B16.10 or other dimensions by agreement
between manufacturer and purchaser. For some valve
types, both long and short pattern dimensions are listed
in ASME B16.10. It should not be assumed that all
designs of the type listed could be accommodated in
the short pattesn dimension series, For valve types not
included in ASME B16.10, dimensions shallbe the mant-
facturer’s standard.
6.3. Auxillary Connections
6.3.1 General. Auxiliary connections, a, for
bypass connections, shall be designed, fabricated, and
‘examined 80 a5 to wacrant atleast the same pressure
temperature ratings es the valve and shall be installed
prlor to the shell test of the valve to which they are
attached, except that upon agreemanbotwoen the mar-
ufacturer and purchaser, auniliary connections installed
atter the valve shel tests are accoptable. Welds in auxil-
Jary connections assembled by weldingshallbe made by
a qualified welder using a qualified welding procedure,
both in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section IX.
6.3.2 Pipe Thread Tapping. Threads for threaded
auxiliary connections may be tapped into the wall of a
valve ifthe metal is thick enough to allow the effective
thread length specified in Fig. Where metal thickness
4s insufficient or the tapped hote needs reinforcement,
a boss shall be added as shown in Fig. 4
6.2.3 Socket Welding. Sockets for socket welding
assembly of ausliry connections may be provided in
the wall ofa yave ifthe metals thick enough to acon
modate the depth of the socket and the thickness of ts
shoulder speciied in Fig, 5, Where the metal thickness
is insullcient or the socket opening requires reinforce-
iment, a boss shall be added as shown in Fig. 4. The
length of the leg of the attachment weld shall be not
Jess than 1.09 times the nominal pipe wall thickness of
the awlary connection or 32 mum (012 in), whichever
fa greater.
6.3.4 Butt Welding. Auxillary connections may be
attached by butt welding directly fo the wall of the valve
(Gee Fig. 6). Where the size of the opening is such that
reinforcement is necessary, a boss shall be added as
shown in Fig. 4
6.3.5 Bosses. Where bosses are required, the
insribed diameters shall be not las than those shown,
in Fig. 4 and the height shall provide metal thickness
to satisfy the requirements of Fig. 3 or 8.
6.346 Size, Unless othorwise specified, the mini-
‘mum ausiliary connection sizes shall be as follows:

6.3.7 Designating Locations. A means of designat-
ing locations for auxiliary connections for some valve
Aypes is shown in Fig. L.A letter designates each of these
locations so that the desired locations forthe illustrated
types of valves may be specified without using further
sketches or description.
6.44 Valve Joints
Valves with botted or threaded bonnet or cover joints
‘or body joints shall meet the following tensile or shear
area requirements,

jolnt, the joints between 2 valve body and a bonnet or
‘over are joints that are not subject to direct piping loads.
6.4.1.1 Bolted Bonnet or Cover Joints. Where bon-
nets or covers are joined to valve bodies by means of
‘bolting, bolting shall be threaded in accordance with.
ASME BILL for inca holting or ASME BL.13M for metric
bolting and, as a minimum, shall satisfy the following
bolt cross-sectional area requirements:
otal effective bole tensile stress area

‘When greater than 137:9 MPa (2000 psi), use
137.9 MPa (20,00 psi.
The allowable bolt stress values shall be taken from
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section II,
Part D using the listings for Section VIII, Division 1, or
Section I, Division 1, Class 2 or Class 3. This algebraic
‘expression requires that a consistent set of units be used.
6.4.4.2 Threaded Bonnet of Cover Joints, Where
bonnets oF covers are joined to valve bodies by means
of threads, thread shear area, as minimum, shail satisfy
the following:

6.4.2.2 Threaded Body Joints, Threaded body
joints shal, as a minimum, satisfy the following thread,
shear azea requirement:
6.4.3 Additional Considerations. Bolting or thread
ing in excess of the minimum requirements of this
Standard may be required because of, for example, valve
sign, special gasket compression requirements, special
specified service conditions, or operation at high tem~
peratures where differences in the creep characteristics
between body and bolting materials could compromise
joint sealing capability. Since these factors vary widely,
these roquicements must be accounted for by individual
manufacturers
6.5: Stems
Stems, variously referred toasspindles, shafts, or pins,
are collectively identified herein as stems.
6.5.1 Stem Retention
6.5.1.1 Retention by Stem Seal Elements, Vaives
shal be designed so thatthe stom seal retaining fasteners
(eg. packing gland fasteners) alone do not retain the
stem. Specifically the design shall be such thatthe stem
shall not be capable of removal from the valve, while
the valve is under pressure, by the removal ofthe stem
seal retainer (eg, gland) alone.
6.5.1.2 Retention by Closure Member. Valves,
including those intended for isolation, regulation, or
slow reversal, shall be provided with a means so that,
