Carbon Steel Flanges
Carbon steel flanges are essential components for creating secure connections in piping systems, known for their durability, strength, and ability to withstand high pressures and temperatures. These flanges provide reliable performance in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and water treatment, where they are used to connect pipes, valves, and other equipment. Our carbon steel flanges are manufactured to meet various industry standards, including ASME, ANSI, DIN, and EN, ensuring safety, compliance, and consistent quality.
We offer a wide selection of carbon steel flanges, including weld neck, slip-on, blind, threaded, and socket weld types, each designed to meet the unique requirements of industrial applications. Our carbon steel flanges are available in multiple pressure ratings and dimensions, making them versatile options for demanding environments.
Key Benefits of Carbon Steel Flanges
- High Strength and Durability: Carbon steel offers excellent strength, making it an ideal material for flanges used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to alloy and stainless steel flanges, carbon steel flanges provide a more affordable solution without compromising performance in moderate environments.
- Corrosion Resistance (with Coatings): Carbon steel can be coated or treated for enhanced corrosion resistance, providing reliable performance in a variety of industrial applications.
- Versatile Applications: Carbon steel flanges are compatible with most piping systems and can be used in applications such as water treatment, oil and gas pipelines, and chemical processing.
- Ease of Fabrication and Machining: Carbon steel is easier to machine and fabricate compared to other metals, allowing for custom shapes and sizes to fit unique piping configurations.
Types of Carbon Steel Flanges
- Weld Neck Flanges: Designed for high-stress applications, weld neck flanges provide a secure, leak-proof connection and are commonly used in oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation.
- Slip-On Flanges: These cost-effective flanges slip over the pipe and are then welded in place, offering easy installation and suitability for lower-pressure applications.
- Blind Flanges: Used to close the end of a piping system, blind flanges provide a secure seal and allow easy access to the system for maintenance and inspection.
- Threaded Flanges: Ideal for low-pressure applications, threaded flanges are easy to install without welding, making them suitable for connections that may require future disassembly.
- Socket Weld Flanges: These flanges are often used for smaller pipe sizes and are commonly found in high-pressure applications like hydraulic systems.
- Lap Joint Flanges: Used in conjunction with a lap joint stub end, lap joint flanges are beneficial for applications requiring frequent dismantling.
Specifications and Standards
Our carbon steel flanges are manufactured according to various international standards, including:
- ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47: Standards for flanges in various sizes and pressure classes.
