Carbon steel flange specifications

Carbon steel flange specifications Industries prefer carbon steel flanges because they are the least expensive among various steel and stainless steel alloys. Although they are not especially resistant to corrosion, their superior toughness, hardness, and mechanical strength make up for their lack of corrosion resistance.

However, with that being said, in any case, if a buyer requires some corrosion resistance properties at some level, low-temperature carbon steel pipe flanges could be surface treated by galvanizing or electroplating. Although both processes coat the surface of the flanges, the use of hot-dip galvanizing improves the corrosion resistance properties of Class 150 carbon steel threaded flange to a greater extent than electroplating. Threaded Flange Dimensions In the oil and gas industry, using high-performance carbon steel plate flanges is ideal, as highperformance carbon steels can withstand high-pressure applications. The transportation and distribution of oil and gas through pipeline systems are often regarded as high-stress applications. ASME B16.5 is limited to 4-inch carbon steel slip-on flanges and flanged fittings made of cast or forged materials. The standard used to manufacture ASME B16.5 CS flanges must follow recommendations for dimensions, tolerances, marking, pressure and temperature ratings, materials, testing, and methods of designating openings. Industry Standard Flange Dimensions The flange is the equipment connected to the pipelines, pumps and valves for the pipeline system. There are different types of flanges, such as blind, lap, union, welded and many others. Carbon steel cable ties
