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.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

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. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore

structures for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 6, Processing

equipment and systems, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

Technical Committee CEN/TC 12, Materials, equipment and offshore structures for petroleum,

petrochemical and natural gas industries, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation

between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 27509:2012), which has been technically

revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 27509:2012/Cor.1:2013. The main changes

compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— Annexes B and D (Annex E in previous edition) have become normative annexes;

— more stringent quality requirements regarding manufacture of products and assembly instructions

have been introduced. These include

a) ultrasonic testing of products in accordance with new requirements in ASME VIII div. 2 (in

Clause 7),

b) requirements to material strength and machining strictly in accordance with given tolerances

for IX seal rings (in Clause 12),

c) new and better coating requirements for IX seal rings (in Clause 13 and Annex D),

d) excluding use of IX seal rings to assist alignment by transfer of significant shear load during

assembly (in Annex D),

e) more comprehensive and detailed guidelines on the evaluation of damages to products and the

repair of such damages (in Annex D),

f) more comprehensive requirements to qualification of bolt tensioning procedures (in Annex D),

and in Annex D, in order to prevent unnecessary re-machining or rejection when flange bevel

angles have changed.

Introduction

This document, which is originally based on NORSOK L-005, has been developed to provide an

International Standard for compact flanged connections that constitutes an alternative to conventional

flanges as specified in ASME standards, European standards and other standards, with reduced mass

and smaller overall dimensions, as well as increased reliability in leak tightness by means of its inherent

design features and make up procedures. CFCs can also provide an alternative to other types of clamp

and hub type mechanical connectors.

The use of load carrying sealing elements, traditionally referred to as "gaskets", does not conform with

the requirements of this document.

This document has been developed for use in process piping systems, which are designed in accordance

with codes for pressure piping, e.g. ASME B31.3. See 5.7 for more details.

The flange designs have been selected to achieve a minimum safety factor of 2,0 when subjected to a

design pressure equal to ASME B16.5 pressure temperature ratings within the temperature limits of

this document.

The main body of this document contains all necessary information on how to manufacture and supply

flange and seal ring materials, such as
— flange dimensions and material requirements,
— seal ring dimensions and material requirements,
— bolting dimensions and material requirements,
— requirements to tolerances and surface finish, and
— requirements to designation and marking of finished products.
Annexes A, B, C and D cover the following topics:
— structural capacity equations for flange assemblies;

— how to apply the flanges to special geometries of valves and equipment nozzles;

— bolt dimensions and masses;

— installation and assembly instructions, and guidelines on how to repair damage and irregularities

on sealing surfaces.
Annexes E, F and G cover the following topics:
— masses of all standard components;
— suitable dimensions of alternative metric bolting;
— additional information on bibliographical references.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
— "shall" indicates a requirement;
— "should" indicates a recommendation;
— "may" indicates a permission;
— "can" indicates a possibility or a capability.
