Flanged end connection as ASME B16.42 Class 150 / Class 300

ASME B16.42 Class 150 / Class 300 is to rule cast ductile iron pipe flanges and flanged fittings. As fire fighting valve is made of ductile iron, so flanged as B16.42 Class 150 / Class 300 is totally follow this standard from aspect of material.
We could say B16.42 Class 150 / Class 300 is the most standard rule for American fire valve flanges.

Note:
1. For flange diameter and thickness, they follow table I-7 of ASME B16.42 and are multiplied by 25.4 to get SI unit.
2. For flange facing, it is normally flat face, or with a 1.5 mm raised face.

Available size of Class 300

Compared with B16.42 Class 150, Class 300 flange will be bigger and thicker in order to bear bigger pressure.
