【Standard Number】 HG/T 20592–20635-2009 【Standard Name】 Steel Pipe Flanges, Gaskets, and Fasteners 【Issuing Authority】 Ministry of Industry and Information Technology 【Drafting Organization】 National Chemical Equipment Design and Technology Center 【Responsible Association】 China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association 【Issuance Date】 February 5, 2009 【Implementation Date】 July 1, 2009 【Replaced Standard】 HG20592–20635-1997 This series of standards represents a revision of the HG20592–20635-1997 series of standards titled “Steel Pipe Flanges, Gaskets, and Fasteners”. These standard series are primarily based on advanced foreign standards such as EN1092-1:2002 and ANSI B16.5-2003, and have been revised to take into account the actual conditions in China. They include the two internationally widely used standard series for pipe flanges, gaskets, and fasteners: the PN series (European system) and the Class series (American system). HG/T20592~20614-2009 belong to the standards for pipe flanges, gaskets, and fasteners in the PN series (European system). The main changes in these new standards compared to the 1997 version are as follows: The contents of the original HG20592~20605-97 standards were integrated into HG/T20592-2009, titled “Steel Pipe Flanges (PN Series)”, and structural types of steel orifice plate pipe flanges and steel jacketed pipe flanges commonly used in the petrochemical industry were added ; ——HG/T20592-2009 \"Steel Pipe Flanges (PN Series)\\" removes the nominal pressure PN250, as well as the corresponding series of outer diameters for the steel pipes applicable to them ; ——Revise the dimensions of the sealing surface and adjust the structural dimensions as appropriate ; The surface roughness of the flange sealing surface has been revised ; ——Adjust the pressure class range of the plate-type butt weld flanges: PN0.25~PN40 ; ——The grouping of materials and the types of materials used for pipe flanges have been adjusted, with an increase in the variety of materials available ; ——The pressure-temperature rating table has been revised ; ——Reinforced flexible graphite gasket inserts are included in HG/T20606-2009, while HG20608-97 is revoked ; ——The gasket materials have been adjusted, with more material varieties added ; The specifications for the properties of gasket materials have been supplemented ; ——The fastener materials are classified by strength, and the types of fastener materials for pipe flanges are added ; The length of fasteners for pipe flanges has been revised ; Added washers for pipe flange fasteners and fasteners for insulated flange connections ; Supplementary provisions have been added regarding the selection of pipe flanges, gaskets, and fasteners, as well as the operating conditions. HG/T20615~20635-2009 belong to the standards for pipe flanges, gaskets, and fasteners in the Class series (American system). The main changes in these newly revised standards compared to the 1997 version are as follows: The contents of the original HG20615~20622 and HG20624~20626 standards have been integrated into HG/T20615-2009, titled “Steel Pipe Flanges (Class Series)”; in addition, structural types of steel orifice plate pipe flanges and steel jacketed pipe flanges belonging to the Class series, which are commonly used in the petrochemical industry, have been included ; ——Added long-neck flanges and large-diameter pipe flange types of Series A, and revised the surface roughness of the flange sealing surfaces ; The grouping of materials and the types of materials used for pipe flanges have been adjusted, with an increase in the variety of materials available ; ——The pressure-temperature rating table has been revised ; ——HG/T20623-2009 \"Large-Diameter Steel Pipe Flanges (Class Series)\" adds an A size series for large-diameter pipe flanges, ranging from Class 150 to 900, and DN 650 to 1500 ; ——Reinforced flexible graphite gasket sheets are included in HG/T20627-2009, while HG20629-97 is revoked ; ——The gasket materials have been adjusted, with more material varieties added ; Additional details were added regarding the types of gaskets and the required material properties ; ——The fastener materials are classified by strength, and the types of fastener materials for pipe flanges are added ; The length of fasteners for pipe flanges has been revised ; Gaskets for pipe flange fasteners and fasteners for insulated flange connections have been added. Supplementary provisions have been added regarding the selection of pipe flanges, gaskets, and fasteners, as well as the operating conditions. This standard was proposed and is under the jurisdiction of the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Association. The technical content of this standard is interpreted by the National Chemical Equipment Design Technology Center.
