Carbon Steel Flanges contain carbon steel that connects sections of pipe. These flanges join pipe sections to a pressure vessel, valve, or pump. The grades vary from one another with its material ratio, for example, the carbon content. In Carbon steel flanges, ASTM A3015, ASTM A182, ASTM A694, and ASTM A105 are the most common grades present in the market. The material shows 2.1% of the carbon content in carbon steel flanges. There are different grades of steel products, and here in the case of carbon steel flanges, there are the following grades:
Different Grades of Carbon Steel Flanges:
- Carbon Steel A105 Flanges
Carbon Steel A105 Flanges have forged carbon steel piping components. These products are useful in fittings, flanges, valves, and several other parts. Also, this grade of flanges is suitable in pressure systems and at ambient or higher-temperature conditions. The Carbon Steel A105 Flanges is one of the carbon steel flanges works well in a temperature range of 500 Degree to 550. These flanges are useful in hydrocarbon plants, marine engineering, heat exchangers, and pumps manufacturing. Further, petrochemical plants, valves manufacturing, oil & gas equipment, nuclear power projects require carbon steel A105 flanges. These products are various types such as Plate Flanges, Weld Neck Flanges, Blind Flanges, etc.
- Carbon Steel A350 LF2 Flanges
Carbon Steel A350 LF2 Flanges are useful for many classes of carbon and ring-rolled flanges, valves, low-alloy steel forged. The grade is also helpful in forged fittings that work at low-temperatures. Here, Carbon Steel A350 LF2 Flanges are famous for their temperature and pressure resistance, outstanding strength, and durability. The flange grade offers maximum machinability to annealing, normalization, forging and thus gains moderate strength and leakage proof connection at a low cost. These flanges are in demand due to its higher hardness property.
- Carbon Steel A182 Flanges
One of the popular grades of carbon steel flanges useful in stainless steel pipe flanges, rolled alloy, valves, forged fittings, and applications require high-temperature settings. Carbon Steel A182 Flanges are useful in the petroleum and chemical industries, paper industries, etc. Features like durability and no maintenance make these flanges the most reliable products.
- Carbon Steel A694 Flanges
It is a rigid carbon steel A694 flanges grade compared to above mentioned three. The material is robust to the high-pressure fluid transportation of oil and gas. Due to this, carbon steel flanges are suitable for both cryogenic and high temperatures.
