Answer four questions about your line. The tool applies ASME B16.5 / B31.3 selection logic to recommend the right flange connection type — and flags when a socket weld is the wrong call.
1. Nominal bore (NPS) of the line
2. Service pressure / duty
3. Is the medium corrosive, sour, chloride-bearing or erosive?
Guidance reflects ASME B16.5 size limits and ASME B31.3 limitations on socket-welded joints. Final selection should be confirmed against your line class and project specification.
