FAQ

Marine systems typically use either ASME / ANSI (NPS / Class) patterns or DIN (DN / PN) patterns. The correct choice depends on the vessel spec and the mating equipment. It’s important to confirm the bolt circle, hole count/diameter, OD/ID, thickness, pressure rating, and facing before ordering.

Many marine projects specify stainless steel (such as 304/304L and 316/316L) for improved corrosion resistance. Harsh seawater conditions may require higher-performance alloys or additional protection, for example, different flange coatings. Material selection should be based on chloride exposure, temperature, stagnation risk, and expected service life.

DIN flanges are not interchangeable with ANSI- or ASME-rated flanges or piping systems because mismatched flanges cannot be mated.

There is no exact DIN-to-ANSI flange conversion—even if the bolt holes align, there may be a disparity between pressure ratings or other aspects of the standards. While adapters can be custom machined to facilitate matching European standard and American standard piping components, using the appropriate DIN components is a quicker, easier option. 

ASME / ANSI Class 150 and Class 300 are pressure classes that indicate the flange’s allowable pressure capability at a given temperature. In general, Class 300 is rated for higher pressure service than Class 150, and it typically has heavier dimensions (thicker flange, different drilling by size) to support that duty.

To order marine industry flanges from API International, share your pipe size, the standard you’re using (for example, ANSI/ASME B16.5 or DIN), the pressure class/PN, and the service media (seawater cooling, ballast, fuel, lube oil, hydraulics, etc.). Also include your material and coating requirements (stainless steel, such as 304/304L or 316/316L, and black epoxy coating) and any facing and gasket preferences. If the system has saltwater exposure or corrosion concerns, mention that as well so the correct material and protection can be specified. Contact API International’s experienced team and we will help you select the right flange for your application.
