Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7005-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 5, Ferrous metal pipes and metallic fittings,
Subcommittee SC 10, Metallic flanges and their joints.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7005-1:1992), which has been technically
revised.
ISO 7005 consists of the following parts, under the general title Pipe flanges:
⎯ Part 1: Steel flanges for industrial and general service piping systems
It also consists of the following parts, under the general title, Metallic flanges:
⎯ Part 2: Cast iron flanges
⎯ Part 3: Copper alloy and composite flanges

Introduction
This part of ISO 7005 makes normative reference to a family of two distinct steel flange series, each of which
has sectorial relevance in noteworthy global marketplaces. Each is widely used within these regional entities.
Each of these individual flange series, taken separately, represents a very large installed flange population
and as such, it is not an economically viable option to compel replacement with a single flange series.
The steel flange harmonization specified in the previous edition did not achieve the anticipated market
acceptance. This can be attributed firstly to the fact that this part of ISO 7005 has not, prior to this revision,
been updated and, secondly, that this part of ISO 7005 lacked normative requirements for many materials and
their corresponding pressure/temperature ratings. In addition, dimensional compromises made during the
drafting of the previous edition have not been acknowledged in important market sectors. While this part of
ISO 7005 remained unchanged for many years, sectorial flange standards have kept pace and by doing so
maintained market prominence. With this revision, normative reference requirements are added for the two
most prominent sectorial flange series, each endowed with significant market presence.
The revision of this part of ISO 7005 is intended to more readily accommodate and expand regional and
national standardization needs by providing ready access to a sectorial series whose requirements are
contemporaneous with regional imperatives.

Pipe flanges —
Part 1:
Steel flanges for industrial and general service piping systems
1 Scope
This part of ISO 7005 establishes a base specification for pipe flanges suitable for general purpose and
industrial applications including, but not limited to, chemical process industries, electric power generating
industries, petroleum and natural gas industries. It places responsibility for the selection of a flange series with
the purchaser.
It is applicable to flanges within facilities engaged in the processing or handling of a wide variety of fluids,
including steam, pressurized water and chemical, petroleum, natural gas or related products.
EXAMPLE Steam power plant, petroleum refinery, loading terminal, natural gas processing plant (including liquefied
natural gas facilities), offshore oil and gas production platforms, chemical plant, bulk plant, compounding plant, tank farm.
This part of ISO 7005 is also applicable to packaged equipment piping, which interconnects individual pieces
or stages of equipment within a packaged equipment assembly for use within facilities engaged in the
processing or handling of a variety of fluids, including steam and chemical, petroleum, natural gas or related
products.

ISO 7005-1:2011(E)
3.2
design pressure
most severe pressure, taking into account its corresponding temperature selected for the design of the piping
to which the flange is attached
NOTE The piping design pressure, taking into account the flange material and its application temperature, is not
permitted to exceed the maximum allowable pressure listed in the tables of pressure/temperature ratings of the reference
flange standard.
3.3
design temperature
maximum temperature, at design pressure, likely to be reached in operation as either the temperature of the
flowing fluid or the temperature at the mid-thickness of the piping wall to which the flange is attached, as
specified by the purchaser
NOTE The piping design temperature, taking into account the flange material and its application pressure, is not
permitted to exceed the maximum allowable temperature listed in the tables of pressure/temperature ratings of the
reference flange standard.
3.4
fabricator
erector
individual or organization that takes responsibility for fabrication or installation of piping in accordance with the
owner's piping engineering design specification and in accordance with the requirements of the governing
piping code or standard
NOTE When so designated by the owner, he may be recognized as the purchaser; not to be confused with a flange
manufacturer.
3.5
flanged joint
joint that is composed of interrelated components (flanges, gasket and bolting), which are assembled with
good practice to provide both mechanical strength and leaktightness
3.6
flange nominal size
〈PN series〉 alphanumeric designation of size, used for reference purposes, which is common for components
used in a piping system, comprising the letters DN followed by a dimensionless number indirectly related to
the physical size of the bore or outside diameter of the end connection, as appropriate
NOTE 1 The number following DN does not represent a measurable value and is not used for calculation purposes.
The use of the prefix DN is applicable to steel flanges bearing PN designations.
NOTE 2 Adapted from ISO 6708:1995, definition 2.1.
3.7
flange nominal size
〈class series〉 alphanumeric designation of size, used for reference purposes, which is common for
components used in a piping system, comprising the letters NPS followed by a dimensionless number having
an indirect correspondence to the physical size of the bore or outside diameter of the end connection, as
appropriate
NOTE The dimensionless number may be used as a size identifier without the prefix NPS. This size identification
number does not represent a measurable value and is not used for calculation purposes. The use of the prefix NPS is
applicable to steel flanges bearing class designations.

3.8
flange rating designation
〈PN series〉 alphanumeric designation that is used for reference purposes, relating to flange
pressure/temperature capability, taking into account flange material mechanical properties and component
dimensional characteristics, comprising the letters PN followed by a dimensionless number
NOTE 1 The number following the letters PN does not represent a measurable value and is not used for calculation
purposes except where specified in a relevant standard. Reference to PN is meaningful only when it is related to a
relevant component. The use of the designation PN is applicable to all steel flanges bearing nominal size designations DN.
NOTE 2 It is the intent that all flange end equipment of the same nominal size (DN) designated by the same PN
number have compatible mating dimensions.
NOTE 3 The maximum allowable pressure for a flange having a PN number depends on the flange material and its
application temperature and is to be found in tables of pressure/temperature ratings in the reference flange standard.
NOTE 4 Adapted from ISO 7268.
3.9
flange rating designation
〈class series〉 alphanumeric designation that is used for reference purposes, relating to flange
pressure/temperature capability, taking into account flange material mechanical properties and component
dimensional characteristics comprising a dimensionless number that is frequently preceded by the word
“class”
NOTE 1 The designation number does not represent a measurable value and is not used for calculation purposes
except where specified in a relevant standard. Reference to a class is meaningful only when it is related to a relevant
component. The use of the designation class is applicable to all steel flanges bearing size designations NPS.
NOTE 2 It is the intent that all flange end equipment of the same nominal size (NPS) designated by the same class
number have compatible mating dimensions.
NOTE 3 The maximum allowable pressure for a flange having a class number depends on the flange material and its
application temperature and is to be found in tables of pressure/temperature ratings in the reference flange standard.
3.10
flange series
series
classification system for flange designs having a common derivation
