AWWA C207 Class D Flange
What is AWWA C207?
AWWA C207 is an American National Standard for steel pipe flanges for waterworks service, sizes 4″ to 144″ (100 mm to 3600 mm). AWWA is the acronym for the American Water Works Association. The origin of AWWA C207 can be traced back to 1942, when a paper proposed standards for slip-on steel ring flanges for welding to steel water mains. This standard was necessary because the lowest pressure ratings for steel flanges at that time were those with cold water pressure ratings of 275 psi (1896 KPa). These ratings are much higher than those normally required for water service (150 psi / 1034 kPa).
AWWA C207 flanges are intended for attachment to steel pipe, fittings, valves or other appurtenances used in water service. The standard specifies two general types of flanges: (1) slip-on ring flanges, also known as ring flanges or plate flanges; (2) blind flanges. Both ring flanges and blind flanges are steel flanges without a hub. Additional information on the dimensions of steel hub flanges is also provided in Appendix B. The AWWA C207 flange can be further divided into four classes according to its working pressure limit: Class B (86 psi), Class D (175-150 psi), Class E (275 psi), Class F (300 psi). The pressure limits are for conditions and temperatures common in water utility service.

Marking & Coating
Flanges shall be stenciled with size, material and brand as well as AWWA class and heat number. For example: M 48″ AWWA C207 Class D ASTM A516 Gr.60 6558. Protective coating shall be provided in accordance with either AWWA C203, C209, C210, C213, C216, C217, C218 or C222. Flange coatings generally include yellow gold, black, anti-rust oil, PE, coal tar, etc.
