Carbon Steel Square Flanges Manufacturer, Supplier, Exporter & Stockist in india

Carbon steel square flanges are essential components in various industrial applications, known for their strength, durability, and versatility. These flanges are typically manufactured according to ANSI/ASME B16.5 standards, providing a standardized framework for their design and performance. They come in a range of sizes, typically spanning from 1/2 inch to 48 inches or even larger (DN15 to DN1200 and beyond), accommodating a wide variety of pipe sizes and applications. One of the defining features of these flanges is their pressure rating, which can vary from 150 to 2500, making them suitable for a broad spectrum of pressure and temperature conditions. The choice of pressure rating depends on the specific requirements of the application. Additionally, carbon steel square flanges can have different facing types, such as Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), and Ring Type Joint (RTJ), allowing for compatibility with various sealing methods.

The material used in these flanges is typically carbon steel, which offers excellent strength and corrosion resistance. Carbon steel square flanges come in various grades, and the exact grade chosen depends on the application's specific needs. The carbon steel used in these flanges usually contains a percentage of carbon, manganese, silicon, and trace amounts of other elements. The mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness, can vary depending on the carbon steel grade. In terms of installation, carbon steel square flanges are connected to pipes using stud bolts and nuts conforming to ASTM A193 and ASTM A194 standards. These flanges are widely employed in industries such as petrochemical, oil and gas, water supply, and more, where reliable and leak-proof connections are crucial. The choice of facing finish, which can be smooth (with surface finishes ranging from 125 to 250 micro-inches Ra), further contributes to the flanges' sealing performance.
