Flanged Joint
Alignment
Centerline High/Low
• The alignment of piping or vessel
flanges so that the seating
surfaces, the inside diameter of
the bore, or the outside diameter
of the flanges match or meet with
the greatest amount of contact
surface.
• Tolerance is usually measured by
placing a straight edge on the
outside diameter of one flange and
extending it to or over the mating
flange. This is done at four points
around the flange, approximately
90 deg from each other.
• The tolerance is 1.5 mm at any
point
Centerline High/Low
Parallelism
• The alignment of piping or vessel
flanges so that there are equal
distances between the flange faces
at all points around the
circumference of the joint,
therefore making the flange faces
parallel to each other.
• The tolerance is usually
determined by measuring the
closest and farthest distance
between the flanges and
comparing.
• An acceptable practice is a
difference no greater than 0.8 mm
at the O.D. of the sealing surface,
achieved using a force of no
greater than 10% of the maximum
torque or bolt load for any bolt
Parallelism
Rotational-Two Hole
• The alignment of piping or vessel
flanges so that the bolt holes align
with each other, allowing the
fasteners to pass through
perpendicular to the flanges.
• The tolerance is measured by
observing a 90 deg angle where
the fastener passes through the
flanges or the holes are within 3
mm of perfect alignment
Rotational-Two Hole
Excessive Spacing or Gap
• A condition where two flanges are
separated by a distance greater
than twice the thickness of the
gasket when the flanges are at rest
and the flanges will not come
together using reasonable force
Excessive Spacing or Gap
