Subject: API flanges compared to ASME flanges

Question:

What are the differences between API and ASME type flanges? Why would one choose one over the other?

Answer:

Please read A Brief History for a comparison and explanation of differences between API and ANSI flanges (the same as ASME). The choice between them depends on the application and working pressure desired.
