 FOREWORD

The development of the first Bronze Flanged Standard began in 1910 to eliminate the confusion
prevailing in the trade with respect to bronze flange dimensions and service ratings. The work
culminated and was published in 1914 under the title “1914 Brass Standard Flange Dimensions”
for 150-lb and 250-lb (now Class 150 and Class 250) steam pressures.
This was superseded in 1928 by the Manufacturers Standardization Society of Valves and
Fittings Industry (MSS) “Standard Practice” SP-2, which contained changes to provide inter-
changeability with the American Cast-Iron Flange Standards for 125-lb (now Class 125) and
Class 250 stream pressures. Subsequent revisions were issued in 1930 and 1936. In the latter, a
new column of thickness for 300-lb (now Class 300) flanges was added.
In the 1937 edition, illustrations and dimensions of bronze-flanged fittings were added. This
was edited and reprinted in 1943 to conform to the U.S. Department of Commerce, National
Bureau of Standards, Simplified Practice Recommendation R-183-42, and to the War Production
Board Limitation Order L-252, dated January 23, 1943.
In the 1946 edition, the pressure–temperature ratings were added for the Class 150 and Class 300
standards and the dimensions for that reference to the Class 250 standard were omitted. Limitation
Order L-252 was cancelled on April 28, 1945. The period of government prohibition of manufacture
and civilian use of the Class 250 standard (during the life of Order L-252) caused no hardship
on the part of either the manufacturer or the consumer, indicating that this pressure class in
bronze products did not warrant being recognized as a standard.
This Standard was reviewed and reaffirmed in 1949. In October 1951, MSS ceded it to Sectional
Committee B16 on Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings for review and possible approval as an
American Standard.
--`,`,,`,`,``,,`,````,,`,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---

Following approval of the sectional committee and sponsor organizations, it was sent to the
American Standards Association (ASA), now the American National Standards Institute (ANSI),
for approval and designation as an American Standard. This was granted on February 27, 1953.
In 1961, following the organization of Subcommittee No. 11 (now Subcommittee J), the 1953
edition was revised. Chief among the changes recommended was the deletion of reference to
brass. This resulted from an action of ASTM redefining the alloys that could properly be called
bronze. Several other changes that brought the standard up to date were also approved by the
B16 Committee, with approval designation as an American Standard being granted on
July 20, 1962.
Subcommittee J, in keeping with regulations of ANSI, reviewed the standard in 1969. Only
minor changes were made. Among these were the presentation of pressure–temperature ratings
in tabular form, and the gasket-retaining grooves being made permissible rather than recom-
mended. Final approval of the changes was granted by ANSI on January 27, 1971.
A revision was undertaken in 1977, and several changes were proposed. Foremost among these
was the addition of metric equivalents and the elimination of the optional gasket-retaining
grooves. In addition, the standard was extensively revised editorially. Following approvals by
Subcommittee J and the Standards Committee, ANSI granted its approval on June 26, 1979.
In 1982, the American National Standard Committee B16 was reorganized as an
ASME Committee, operating under procedures accredited by ANSI.
In 1991, the scope of the standard was changed from bronze pipe flanges and fittings to cast
copper alloy flanges and flanged fittings, and it was expanded to include class designations 150,
300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500. The 1991 edition also established U.S. Customary units as the
standard, and editorial revisions were made to improve the text. Following approval by the
Standards Committee and ASME, this edition of the standard was approved as an American
National Standard by ANSI on February 1, 1991, with the new designation ASME B16.24-1991
and the new title “Cast Copper Alloy Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings.”
In 2001, the standard was revised to include Nonmandatory Appendix A, Quality System
Program. Editorial revisions were made for clarification. Following approval by the B16 Standards

 Committee and the ASME Supervisory Board, this Standard was approved as an American
National Standard by ANSI on October 24, 2001.
In the 2006 edition, metric units became the primary reference units while maintaining
U.S. Customary units in either parenthetical or separate forms. Requirements for Class 400 flanges
were omitted from the Standard. In addition, several editorial revisions were made for clarity.
Following approval by the Standards Committee and the ASME Board, ASME B16.24-2006, Cast
Copper Alloy Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings: Classes 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 was
approved as an American National Standard by ANSI on November 9, 2006.
In this edition, references to ASME standards were revised to no longer list specific edition years;
the latest edition of ASME publications apply unless stated otherwise. Materials manufactured to
other editions of the referenced ASTM standards have been permitted to be used to manufacture
fittings meeting the requirements of this Standard as long as the fitting manufacturer verifies
the material meets the requirements of the referenced edition. Following approval by the Standards
Committee and the ASME Board on PTCS, this revision was approved as an American National
Standard by ANSI on August 9, 2011 with the designation ASME B16.24-2011.
Requests for interpretations or suggestions for revisions should be sent to the Secretary,

 CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE B16 COMMITTEE

General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the
consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee
by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Corre-
spondence should be addressed to:
Secretary, B16 Standards Committee
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Three Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016-5990

As an alternative, inquiries may be submitted via email to: [email protected].

Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes
that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application
of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.
The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be
as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed
description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.
Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when
justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to
provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon
ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.
Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request
should identify the Standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s), and be written as a
Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate
the applicable edition(s) of the Standard to which the proposed Case applies.
Interpretations. Upon request, the B16 Committee will render an interpretation of any require-
ment of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent
to the Secretary of the B16 Standards Committee.
The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended
that the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:

Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.
Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is
being requested.
Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement
suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval
of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans
or drawings that are necessary to explain the question; however, they should
not contain proprietary names or information.

Requests that are not in this format will be rewritten in this format by the Committee prior
to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional
information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an
interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not
“approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
Attending Committee Meetings. The B16 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings, which
are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the Secretary of
the B16 Standards Committee.

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) In designating the openings of reducing fittings, they should be read in the order indicated by the sequence of the letters “a,” “b,” “c,”
and “d.” In designating the outlets of side outlet reducing fittings, the side outlet is named last and in the case of the cross which is
not shown, the side outlet is designated by the letter “e.”
(b) The largest opening establishes the basic size of a reducing fitting. The largest opening is named first, except for bullhead tees, which

are reducing on both runs, and for double branch elbows where both branches are reducing, the outlet is the largest opening and
named last in both cases. (Double branch elbows are not included in this Standard.)
