Cleared for the approach; slowing through 190 KTS and descending; the Captain called; 'Gear down below 200 KTS; Flaps 15 degrees; set speed.' As I moved the flap handle to 15 degrees I noticed the flap indicator is still at 5 degrees. I put the flap handle back to 5 degrees then tried flaps 10 degrees again; but the gage still read 5 degrees so I placed flap handle back to 5 degrees. I then called Approach told them we needed to break off the approach due to a flap problem. Approach vectored us north and to maintain 4;000 FT. I pulled out the QRH and went through 'Trailing Edge Flap Disagree' procedure; checked the Emergency/Abnormal landing chart; set Vref speed for five flaps and declared an emergency. We were then sequenced back to the ILS and landed without incident.
A B737-800 flight crew executed a go-around; performed the appropriate QRH procedures; declared an emergency and landed uneventfully following the failure of the flaps to extend beyond five degrees.
