Carbon steel flanges and end flange connectors are essentially made of carbon steel. Common standards include ASTM A694, ASTM A350, ASTM A105N (SA105N), MSS SP-44, DIN 2533. The pressure ratings available are from Class 150 to Class 2500. Flanges made from carbon steel contain between 0.05% and 2.1% carbon by weight in their chemical composition. The carbon content of A105 can vary, with the maximum permissible percentage composition being 0.35.
As the carbon content increases, the steel is hardened and increases in strength through heat treatment processes. Many common treatment techniques in the industry are quenching, tempering, and normalizing. As carbon steel is treated, it becomes less ductile and less brittle. This makes forming and welding slightly more difficult, but it is generally considered a worthwhile trade-off in field service to create the necessary weld seal.

What are carbon steel flanges?
Carbon steel flanges are forged or machined pipe connection components used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, fittings, and pressure equipment. They provide a reliable sealing surface and allow easy installation, inspection, maintenance, and disassembly of piping systems.
What materials are commonly used for carbon steel flanges?
Common carbon steel flange materials include ASTM A105, ASTM A105N, ASTM A350 LF2, ASTM A694 F42/F52/F60/F65/F70, and other project-specified carbon steel grades. ASTM A105 is widely used for forged carbon steel flanges in general pressure piping systems, while ASTM A350 LF2 is often selected for low-temperature service and ASTM A694 is used for high-pressure pipeline applications.
What standards are available for carbon steel flanges?
Carbon steel flanges can be manufactured according to ASME / ANSI, EN, DIN, JIS, BS, GOST, AWWA, and other international standards. Common standards include ASME B16.5 for flanges from NPS 1/2" to 24" and ASME B16.47 for large-diameter flanges from NPS 26" to 60".
What types of carbon steel flanges do you supply?
We supply many types of carbon steel flanges, including Weld Neck Flanges, Slip On Flanges, Blind Flanges, Socket Weld Flanges, Threaded Flanges, Lap Joint Flanges, Plate Flanges, Orifice Flanges, Reducing Flanges, Long Weld Neck Flanges, Spade Flanges, Spacer Rings, and custom forged flanges.
What pressure classes are available?
Carbon steel flanges are available in different pressure classes, such as Class 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 for ASME B16.5 flanges. Large-diameter ASME B16.47 flanges are commonly available in Class 75, 150, 300, 400, 600, and 900. The actual pressure capacity depends on material grade, temperature, size, and applicable standard.
What sealing face types can carbon steel flanges have?
Carbon steel flanges can be supplied with different sealing faces, including Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ), Tongue and Groove, and Male and Female faces. RF and FF are commonly used in general piping systems, while RTJ is often used for high-pressure and high-temperature service.
Where are carbon steel flanges used?
Carbon steel flanges are widely used in oil and gas, petrochemical plants, power generation, water treatment, shipbuilding, chemical processing, mining, HVAC, and general industrial piping systems. They are suitable for connecting pipelines that require strength, durability, and reliable sealing performance.
What is the difference between ASTM A105 and ASTM A350 LF2 flanges?
ASTM A105 flanges are commonly used for general carbon steel pressure piping applications at ambient and high temperatures. ASTM A350 LF2 flanges are designed for low-temperature service and provide better impact toughness in cold environments. The right material should be selected according to operating temperature, pressure, and project specifications.
What is the difference between ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47 carbon steel flanges?
ASME B16.5 covers pipe flanges and flanged fittings from NPS 1/2" to 24", while ASME B16.47 covers large-diameter steel flanges from NPS 26" to 60". ASME B16.47 is mainly used for large-diameter weld neck flanges and blind flanges in pipeline and heavy industrial applications.
Can carbon steel flanges be customized?
Yes. Carbon steel flanges can be customized according to drawings, samples, project standards, material requirements, surface treatment, drilling patterns, thickness, bore size, facing type, and special dimensions. Custom forged flanges are available for non-standard piping systems and special engineering projects.
What surface treatments are available for carbon steel flanges?
Common surface treatments include black paint, anti-rust oil, yellow paint, hot-dip galvanizing, cold galvanizing, epoxy coating, and other protective coatings. The surface treatment can be selected according to storage conditions, transportation requirements, and the working environment.
