ANSI Flange

A flange is a projecting disc-shaped collar or rim on an object for locating or strengthening it or for attaching it to another object. Flanges are used for making connections for piping

ANSI refers to the American National Standards Institute, founded in 1918.

At first, it were commonly called ANSI flange such as ANSI B16.5, but afterward, ANSI was replaced by ASME. ASME B16.5 is relatively mature and widely used, and it is upgraded to the national standard after review by the technical committee.
