Flange End Ball Valves, 1/2″ to 6″ — ANSI · JIS · PN

Flanged quarter-turn ball valves in six variants — ANSI Class 150 and 300, JIS 10K and PN10/16, in SS316 or cast carbon steel A216 WCB — plus a wafer type. Each is built to its own design standard, and that standard is what decides whether the valve bolts to your pipework. This page exists to get you to the right one.

1/2″–6″

DN15 to DN150 across the range — the lower limit varies by variant.

Six flanged, one wafer type — each with its bill of materials, dimensions and test pressures.


Variants

The seven ball valves we stock for flanged pipework

Six carry flanges of their own. The seventh is a wafer body that bolts between yours. Each has its own page with the full bill of materials, every dimension and its test pressures.


Why flanged

Why flanged, and why the standard matters more than anything else

A flange that does not match is a valve you cannot fit.

A flange end ball valve does the same job as a threaded ball valve — a quarter-turn shut-off with a drilled ball — but it bolts into the line through a pair of flanges rather than screwing in. That buys you three things: it goes to larger sizes than a threaded body sensibly can, it comes out of the line without cutting or unscrewing pipework, and it is the normal arrangement on plant where valves are expected to be removed for service.

It also introduces the one constraint that governs everything on this page. The flange has to match the flange it bolts to — the same bolt circle, the same number of holes, the same hole diameter, the same raised face. That is set by the flange standard, and the four here are not interchangeable. An ANSI 150 valve will not bolt to a JIS 10K flange, and neither will bolt to a PN16 one.

⚠ Get the flange standard from the pipework, not from the pressure

ANSI 150 and JIS 10K are close in pressure — both around 1.6 to 2 MPa — but their bolt circles differ, so they do not mate. Measure or check the existing flange before ordering.

Every variant is built to a different design standard

API 608, ANSI B16.34, API 6D, JIS B2071 and EN 1983 all appear across the six. If your specification names one of those, it names the variant.

⚠ The cast steel variants are not stainless valves

The body is A216 WCB cast carbon steel and the ball and stem are 304, not 316. Corrosion resistance is well below the SS316 variants.

Each variant publishes its own test pressures

Shell, seat and gas-tightness — and they scale with class: 3.0 MPa shell at Class 150 against 7.8 MPa at Class 300.

Threaded instead?

For 1/8″ to 4″ screwed or weld-end valves, see ball valves — eight variants including three-way L and T-port.


Comparison

All six flange end ball valves, side by side

Flange standard first, then material. That is the order the decision happens in.

⚠ Start with the flange, not the pressure

Four incompatible flange standards sit in this table. ANSI 150, JIS 10K and PN10/16 are all around 1.6–2 MPa and none of them bolts to another. Choosing on pressure alone is how the wrong valve gets ordered.

⚠ Cast steel is the odd one out on material

Both cast-steel variants have an A216 WCB body with 304 ball and stem. The four SS316 variants are stainless throughout. If the fluid or the environment is at all aggressive, that is the whole decision.

⚠ ANSI 300 cast steel publishes a 100 °C ceiling

Every other variant here states −29 °C to 150 °C. We publish it as the manufacturer does and flag it — if you need 150 °C at Class 300, ask us to confirm before ordering.

Shell test pressure is roughly 1.5× the class rating

And it doubles between Class 150 and Class 300. It is a manufacturing proof test, not a working pressure — do not design to it.

Two variants do not start at 1/2″

ANSI 150 cast steel and PN10/16 begin at 3/4″, and ANSI 300 cast steel begins at 1½″. Below those, use an SS316 variant or a threaded valve.

None of these six is short

A flange end ball valve carries its own two flanges, so at 4″ it needs roughly 394 mm of pipe. If the gap in your run is smaller than that, the PN16/PN40 wafer type puts the same internals into 152 mm.


Standards

The standards each variant is built to

If your specification names a standard, this table names the valve. On a flanged valve the standards are not paperwork — they are the dimensions. The design standard sets the construction and testing, the face-to-face standard sets the length between flange faces so the valve fits the gap in the pipe run, and the flange standard sets the drilling. All three have to be right.

VariantDesign and manufactureFace-to-faceFlange ends
ANSI 150 cast steelAPI 608ASME B16.10Wall thickness to ASME B16.34
ANSI 150 SS316ANSI B16.34GB/T 12221GB/T 9113.1
ANSI 300 cast steelAPI 608ASME B16.10Wall thickness to ASME B16.34

JIS 10K SS316JIS B2071JIS B2002JIS B2220
PN10/16 SS316EN 1983EN 558 & S15EN 1092-1

API 608 is the ball valve standard

For flanged and threaded metal valves, and it is what both cast-steel variants are built to. If a specification says “ball valve to API 608”, those are the two.

API 6D is the pipeline valve standard

A heavier, pipeline-oriented specification than API 608. Only the ANSI 300 SS316 is built to it, and it is the one to quote on pipeline work.

ANSI B16.34 appears in two roles

It is the design standard for the ANSI 150 SS316 valve, and the wall thickness standard for both cast-steel valves. Same document, different scope — worth knowing if a specification cites it without saying which.

⚠ The ANSI 150 SS316 valve carries GB standards, not ASME

GB/T 9113.1 and GB/T 12221. GB/T 9113.1 flanges are dimensionally aligned with ANSI 150, but if your specification insists on ASME B16.5 flanges specifically, tell us and we will confirm before quoting.

Face-to-face is the dimension that decides whether it drops in

It is column L on every variant page. Measure the gap in the run before ordering, especially on a replacement.


Materials

SS316 or cast steel

Four variants are stainless throughout. Two are not stainless at all — and the cast-steel pair is materially different in a way the name does not make obvious, so it is worth setting out part by part.

HandleSS201A216 WCB, zinc plated
Anti-static deviceNot listedSS304 — fitted

⚠ Cast steel means carbon steel with 304 trim

Body in A216 WCB, ball and stem in 304. It is a perfectly good valve for water, air, oil and general non-corrosive service — and it is not a substitute for SS316 where corrosion is the reason stainless was specified.

Graphite packing is the cast-steel advantage

Flexible graphite packing and a graphite-faced gasket take more heat than PTFE and behave better under thermal cycling. On hot, clean, non-corrosive duty that is a real point in its favour.

Only the cast-steel variants list an anti-static device

A ball turning on PTFE seats is electrically isolated; the SS304 anti-static device bonds it back to the body. It matters on hydrocarbons. The SS316 parts lists here do not include one — ask us if you need it.

The bolting is stronger on cast steel too

A193 B7 studs with A194 2H nuts are alloy-steel pressure bolting; the SS316 variants use SS304 fasteners, which are more corrosion-resistant but lower strength.

PTFE seats throughout

Both families seal on PTFE, which is why every variant tops out around 150 °C regardless of what the body is made of.


Test pressures

Test pressures, all six

Proof tests from the factory — not working pressures. The shell test proves the body casting, the seat test proves the seal against the ball, and the gas-tightness test proves it holds low-pressure gas. Do not design to them: they are well above the working rating, and a valve is not intended to operate there.

VariantNominalShell / body testSeat / tightnessGas tightnessMax working temp.
ANSI 150 SS316Class 1502.4 MPa1.8 MPa0.6 MPa−29 to 150 °C
ANSI 150 cast steelClass 1503.0 MPa2.2 MPa0.6 MPa−29 to 150 °C

PN10/16 SS3161.6 MPa2.4 MPa0.6 MPa−29 to 150 °C

The ANSI 300 cast steel is rated to 100 °C

As the catalogue states; the other five variants state −29 °C to 150 °C. If you need Class 300 at 150 °C, use the ANSI 300 SS316, which states the full range.

⚠ The two Class 150 variants are tested to different pressures

Cast steel 3.0/2.2 MPa against SS316 2.4/1.8 MPa — same class, different figures, because the two families come from different catalogue sources with different test regimes. It does not mean the cast-steel valve has a higher working rating.

Gas tightness is 0.6 MPa on all six

The one figure that does not change with class or material — it is a low-pressure seal check, not a strength test.

Class 300 roughly doubles the shell test

2.4 → 6.0 MPa in SS316, 3.0 → 7.8 MPa in cast steel. That is the measure of how much heavier a Class 300 body is.

PN10/16 states a nominal pressure rather than a class

1.6 MPa — that is what PN16 means — and its shell test is 2.4 MPa. It publishes no separate seat test figure.

Fitting

Fitting a flanged valve

Most of the work is the gasket and the bolt sequence. A flanged valve is easier to remove than a threaded one and slightly fussier to fit, because you are making two gasketed joints rather than two threads. The valve itself needs no sealant.

1. Check the flange standard matches

Count the bolt holes and measure the bolt circle against the mating flange. ANSI 150, JIS 10K and PN16 look similar and do not mate.

2. Check the face-to-face against the gap

Column L on the variant pages. On a replacement, measure the valve coming out.

3. Clean both faces

And check the raised faces are undamaged — a scored face will weep however hard it is bolted.

4. Support the pipework

A 6″ Class 300 cast-steel valve is 99 kg. It must not hang on the flanges.

5. Use the right gasket for the standard

The gasket has to match the flange drilling and the raised face, not just the bore.

6. Tighten in a crossing pattern, in stages

Working up to final torque. Bolting one side down before the other cocks the joint and it will leak.

7. Do not use the valve to pull misaligned pipework together

The body is not a puller, and a distorted body can bind the ball.

8. Leave clearance for the lever, then operate it once

It needs a clear 90° sweep, and on the larger sizes the lever is long. A quarter turn each way before commissioning confirms the ball is free.


Catalogues

Official catalogues — direct download

Six manufacturer catalogues, one per flanged variant. All AF Hydro PDFs, as printed.

⚠ The seventh has no separate catalogue. The PN16/PN40 wafer type ball valve is not published as its own PDF — the data is on its page. Ask us if you need the factory sheet.

Dimensions and part numbers per variant are in the catalogues, as printed; stock and price are not — send us the list and we will confirm both.


Transparency

What the manufacturer does not publish

The catalogues are thorough on dimensions and test pressures, and silent on a few things people ask about regularly. We say which — we do not guess, and we do not borrow figures from another variant.

Not publishedWhat it means for you
Weights — some or allPN10/16 publishes no weights at all; ANSI 300 SS316 omits most of them; ANSI 150 SS316 and JIS 10K omit the 1/2″. For support or lifting calculations, tell us the size and we will weigh a stocked unit.
Height and lever lengthNot published on PN10/16 or the wafer type. That is the swing room the valve needs in the run — ask before you place it in a tight space or under a platform.
Flow coefficient CvNot published on any variant. All are full bore, so use the nominal bore as the basis for a calculation and come to us if the figure is critical.
ISO 5211 actuator padOnly the wafer type publishes one (F03/F04). For all six flanged variants, confirm actuator fit before ordering — do not assume a top plate.
Fire-safe certificationThe designs are API 608, API 6D, ANSI B16.34, JIS B2071 or EN 1983 depending on the variant — but the seats are soft-seated PTFE and we make no fire-safe claim across this range. If your specification demands it, say so before ordering.
Anti-static deviceBoth cast steel variants fit one (SS304), but their parts lists do not carry it as an item. The SS316 variants do not mention it at all. On hydrocarbons this matters — ask, and we will confirm with the factory.
Lockable handle (LOTO)Not a published option. Raise it at quotation — it is a factory question and awkward to retrofit once the valve is installed.
EN 10204 3.1 certificatesAvailable on request; the castings carry heat numbers. Ask with the order, not after the goods arrive.

⚠ One published figure that regularly surprises people: ANSI 300 cast steel publishes a 100 °C temperature limit — not the 150 °C of the other five — despite having the highest shell test in the range at 7.8 MPa. That is as printed, not a typo of ours.


FAQ

Questions we get asked

What is a flange end ball valve?

A quarter-turn ball valve that bolts into the line through a pair of flanges rather than screwing in. That lets it go to larger sizes than a threaded body sensibly can, come out of the line without cutting or unscrewing pipework, and it is the normal arrangement on plant where valves are expected to be removed for service.

Why does the flange standard matter more than the pressure?

Because the flange has to match the flange it bolts to — the same bolt circle, number of holes, hole diameter and raised face. ANSI 150, JIS 10K and PN10/16 are all around 1.6 to 2 MPa and none of them bolts to another. Choosing on pressure alone is how the wrong valve gets ordered.

How many variants are there?

Six flanged variants — ANSI Class 150 and 300 in SS316 or cast steel A216 WCB, JIS 10K SS316 and PN10/16 SS316 — plus a PN16/PN40 SS316 wafer type that bolts between your own flanges. Seven pages in all.

Are the cast steel variants stainless valves?

No. The body is ASTM A216 WCB cast carbon steel and the ball and stem are 304, not 316. It is a perfectly good valve for water, air, oil and general non-corrosive service — and it is not a substitute for SS316 where corrosion is the reason stainless was specified.

What design standards are they built to?

API 608, API 6D, ANSI B16.34, JIS B2071 and EN 1983 all appear across the six. If your specification names one of those, it names the variant — the full table is on this page.

What is the shell test, and can I use it as a working pressure?

No. The shell test is a manufacturing proof test that proves the body casting — roughly 1.5× the class rating, and well above the working pressure. The figures run 2.4 to 7.8 MPa depending on class and material. Do not design to them.

Why is the ANSI 300 cast steel limited to 100 °C?

Because that is how the catalogue prints it. The other five variants state −29 to 150 °C; this one states 100 °C. We publish it as the manufacturer does and flag it — if you need 150 °C at Class 300, use the ANSI 300 SS316, which states the full range, or ask us to confirm first.

What if the gap in my pipe run is tight?

A flange end ball valve carries its own two flanges, so at 4″ it needs roughly 394 mm of pipe. If the gap is smaller, the PN16/PN40 SS316 wafer type puts the same ball-and-PTFE-seat internals into 152 mm by bolting between your flanges — and it is the only one here with a published ISO 5211 actuator pad.

What if I need threaded rather than flanged?

For 1/8″ to 4″ screwed or weld-end valves, see the ball valves page — eight variants including three-way L-port and T-port.
