AWWA C228 Dimensions by Class

Select a pressure class to view its dimension tables, including outside diameter, inside diameter bolt circle, number and size of bolt holes, thickness, and weight.

How to Read The Tables

Lightweight Slip-on-flanges

Each table lists, per nominal size: outside diameter, inside diameter, bolt circle, number and size of bolt holes, thickness, and weight. Dimensions and weights follow the AWWA C228 standard, and every C228 flange uses the ASME/ANSI Class 150 bolt pattern.

FAQs

What is AWWA flange?

An AWWA flange is a type of pipe flange designed for waterworks service. It follows standards developed by the American Water Works Association and is typically used in municipal pipelines, treatment plants, irrigation systems, and other applications up to 300 psi.

What is the AWWA standard for flanges?

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) provides two main standards for flanges for water-work applications:

  • AWWA C207carbon steel flanges
  • AWWA C228stainless steel flanges

These standards also define dimensions, drilling patterns, pressure ratings, and material properties.

How do AWWA C207 and C228 differ?

AWWA C207 covers carbon steel flanges, while AWWA C228 covers stainless steel flanges for the same applications. Both define dimensions, pressure classes, and material requirements.

Can AWWA C207 and AWWA C228 flanges be used interchangeably?

Not directly. In many sizes the two share the same drilling, so they often bolt together, but AWWA C228 is stainless steel and C207 is carbon steel, and each standard sets its own thickness and pressure details. Match the standard, class, and material to your service before substituting one for the other.

What is the pressure rating of AWWA flanges?

Pressure ratings vary by class:

  • Class A: up to 50 psi (Stainless Steel Only)
  • Class B: up to 86 psi
  • Class D: up to 175 psi
  • Class E: up to 275 psi
  • Class F: up to 300 psi

These ratings apply to water service and depend on flange size and material.
