Defines the hub length, h. For flange geometries without hubs, this length can be entered as zero, or left blank.

Typical units (depending on your unit system):

  • in

  • mm

  • cm

This value is required only for ASME stress calculations. It is available in the flange ANSI B16.5/API dimensional database. You can access the flange database properties by pressing Ctrl+F from any data input field in the Flange tab.

When analyzing an optional type flange that is welded at the hub end, enter the hub length as the leg of the weld, and include the thickness of the weld in the large end.

When analyzing a flange with no hub, such as a ring flange or a lap joint flange, enter a zero or leave the field blank for the Hub Length, Small End Hub Thickness, and Large End Hub Thickness. When designing a loose, ring-type flange that has a fillet weld at the back, enter the size of a leg of the fillet weld as the large end of the hub.
