14 inch class 150 flange: dimensions, bolt circle and drilling (ASME B16.5)
The 14 inch class 150 flange to ASME B16.5 is 21 in (533.4 mm) across, with 12 holes of 1.12 in (28.6 mm) on a 18.75 in (476.3 mm) bolt circle, for 1 in bolts; the pipe is 14 in (355.6 mm) outside. The holes straddle the centre lines, the first one 15° off, and the chord between neighbouring holes, which is the divider setting for stepping the drilling out, is 4.85 in (123.3 mm).

Questions
- How many bolts does a %{size} %{class} flange have?
- %{holes}, of %{bolt}, through holes of %{hole} on a %{circle} bolt circle.
- What is the bolt circle of a %{size} %{class} flange?
- %{circle}. The holes are %{angle}° apart, and the first one sits %{half}° off the centre line, so that two flanges mate in any symmetric position. The chord between neighbouring holes is %{chord}.
- Can a %{size} %{class} flange be cut from plate?
- As a plate flange, for low pressure: ducts, tanks, water lines. The outline and the drilling above are what the flange calculator draws, with the 1:1 template and the DXF for plasma or laser. A pressure flange to %{standard} is forged, with a hub and a raised face, and its thickness and facing come from the standard.
