ASME/ANSI Standard & Custom Engineered Non-Standard Industrial Flanges

The forged steel flanges are suitable for the connection of steel pipes conveying mediums such as steam, oil, air, and water. They are widely used in the oil gas Chemical industry and Shipbuilding.

Manufacturing Standards Referred

• ASME B16.5: Dimension standard for steel pipe flanges and flanged fittings
• ASME B16.47: Large diameter steel flanges NPS 26 to NPS 60
• MSS-SP44: For steel pipeline flanges
• API 605: For large diameter carbon steel flanges

Types of Forged Flanges

Industrial welded forged flanges come in many different types. Each species meets its special requirements. For example, long weld neck flanges are attached to the necks of the pipes.
There is also have weld neck flange

• weld neck flange;
• threaded flange;
• slip-on flange;
• lap-joint flange;
• blind flange;
• Plate flange

Industrial Forged Flanges Key Applications:

1. Oil and Gas Industry:
Forged flanges are essential in oil and gas extraction, transportation, and refining processes. Their ability to withstand high pressure and temperature makes them suitable for pipelines, refineries, and offshore platforms.
2. Petrochemical and Chemical Plants:
These welded forged flanges are used to connect pipes and equipment handling corrosive chemicals in petrochemical and chemical processing plants. Materials like stainless steel and specialized alloys are often employed for their corrosion resistance.
3. Power Generation:
Forged flanges play a vital role in power plants, including nuclear, thermal, and hydroelectric facilities. They connect piping systems transporting steam, water, and other fluids under high pressure and temperature.
4. Water Treatment and Distribution:
They are used in water and wastewater treatment plants to ensure reliable fluid transport in pipelines and systems.
5. Shipbuilding and Marine Applications:
In marine environments, forged flanges provide durable and corrosion-resistant connections in pipelines on ships and submarines.
6. Food and Pharmaceutical Industries:
Where hygiene and corrosion resistance are critical, forged flanges, particularly those made of stainless steel, are used in processing equipment for handling sensitive liquids and gases.
7. HVAC Systems:
Forged flanges are also used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for reliable connections in piping networks.
8. Structural Applications:
In some cases, forged flanges are used in structural frameworks for added support and stability.
