One of the many nice things about Chuck Becht's book
http://catalog.asme.org/books/PrintBook/Process_Piping_Complete_Guide.cfm is that in his (Appendix III) "Weight of Piping Materials" tables, he includes the weight of the bolting with the weight of the flanges.

Wow, this is harder than I thought it would be! Foglamp, have you found a source for B16.47 flange weights yet? That is something that I need too.
My understanding is that B16.47 uses MSS SP-44 and "other" (maybe API 605 or API Spec 6A???) large diameter flange dimensions. I have an olde Tube Turns book (Catalog 411, circa 1985) that includes the dimensions for flanges of those Standards but no weights. I would be interested in seein this data if it is available from a manufacturer.
Regards, John.

John,
B16.47 (I have 1996 edition which I think is the latest) covers flanges from 26 through 60 diameter. It includes weld neck and blind flanges only. There are two types of flange included: Series A and Series B.
Series A are the former MSS SP-44 flanges. Classes included are 150, 300, 400, 600 and 900.
Series B are the former API 605 flanges. Classes included are 75, 150, 300, 400, 600 and 900.

I just noticed, the Texas Flange catalog that Arijit sites above does give weights for a variety of flanges including B16.47. Go to the website, click on New Print Version of Catalog, and look at pages 15 through 25.
