ASTM A105 Carbon Steel Flanges—Core Pressure-Bearing Solution for
High-Pressure Pipeline Systems
Introduction:
Crafted through rigorous forging processes, A105 flanges are
engineered for high-pressure, high-temperature applications in
petroleum, chemical, and power industries. With 485 MPa tensile
strength, -29°C to 425°C temperature resilience, and NACE
compliance, they redefine reliability standards for pipeline
connections.
Visualizing Technical Advantages
1. Material Performance
High Strength & Toughness:
Normalizing treatment (A105N) refines grain structure, delivering
tensile strength ≥485 MPa, hardness ≤187 HB, and elongation
≥22%—far exceeding the fatigue life of cast steel flanges.
Corrosion Resistance Guarantee:
Passes HIC (Hydrogen-Induced Cracking) and SSC (Sulfide Stress
Corrosion) tests, compliant with ISO 15156/NACE MR0175, ensuring
reliability in sulfur-rich oil/gas environments.
2. Precision Manufacturing
Closed-Die Forging Technology:
Utilizes precision molds to align grain flow with flange contours,
eliminating porosity and segregation while boosting pressure
capacity by 30%.
Full CNC Machining:
Sealing surface roughness ≤Ra 3.2 μm, bolt hole positioning
accuracy ±0.05 mm, guaranteeing zero-leak sealing.
3. Lightweight Design
Weighs only 70% of equivalent cast steel flanges, reducing installation effort and logistics costs—ideal for aerial or confined workspaces.
Quality Assurance: Certifications & Inspections
Dual International Certifications:
Compliant with ASME B16.5 (US), EN1092-1 (EU), and HG/T20615 (CN),
covering PN6–PN100/Class 150–2500 pressure ratings.
End-to-End Quality Control:
Spectrometry (composition) → Ultrasonic testing (defects) →
Hardness test (HB 140–180)
Documentation:
Includes EN 10204 3.1 material certificates and third-party test
reports if required.
