scope:

This Standard specifies requirements for circular flanges manufactured from copper alloy, grey cast iron, ductile cast iron, or steel. The external shapes of flanges may alternatively be any other shape.

It covers nominal sizes with pressure ratings for PN 14, PN 16, PN 21 and PN 35 at operating temperatures not exceeding 80°C. The Standard also specifies requirements for jointing materials.

Flanges are suitable for use on pipes, pipe fittings, valves and other appurtenances that are primarily intended for the conveyance or storage of water or wastewater.

NOTE: For applications outside the limits specified in this Standard the appropriate flange details may be determined from AS 2129 series, Flanges for pipes, valves and fittings, and AS/NZS 4331 series, Metallic flanges.
