The Flange podcast, hosted by Alex, focuses on ASME/ANSI B16.5 and B16.47 standards in the engineering industry. The standards, applicable universally within mechanical engineering, cover a range of equipment and set specific parameters including nominal pressure, working temperatures, materials, dimensions, tolerances, and marking & testing requirements. They also specify the type of fasteners to be used, applying to the manufacture of flange blinds and flange fittings from cast, forged or sheet steel. The standards measure the nominal diameter of flanges in inches and pressure values in pounds-force per square inch (psi). The stringent details of these standards are highlighted as crucial for ensuring quality, safety, and efficiency in the industry.
