It finds that the allowed hub angle range of 18-45 degrees in B16.5 is too wide and can significantly weaken flange strength, particularly a 45 degree hub. Elastic-plastic FEA and closed-form analysis show hub height below 75% of full height reduces flange strength rapidly. It recommends limiting the minimum hub height to over 75% of full to maintain sufficient strength, especially for class 150 flanges. B16.47 does not spe
