ANSI flanges generally follow standard measurements. If you order just a single flange from one company, it's measurements should very closely
match that of another company. While this is true for individual flanges, it is not true for pumps. Pump casings are often designed to bolt to a
ANSI flange, with similar pressure ratings of the ANSI flange. However, these flanges often do not follow all of the ANSI standard measurements.
When trying to determine the flange rating of a pump, the best method is to look for a stamp printed onto the flange. If one is not visible, or it is
worn, then start by counting the number of bolt holes. This will point you to a narrower range of flange sizes in the chart below. Next measure
the bolt circle diameter. In most cases, these two pieces of information is enough to determine the flange size from the charts.
If these measurements do not single out a flange, measure the bolt hole diameter. You can also double check the flange size by measuring the
inner diameter of the pipe when available. The inner diameter may not be exact, but within a 1/8 inch. Not all flange sizes have a standard inner
diameter and therefore are not included in the table below.
