ASTM A182 / ASME B16.5 pipe flanges and flange fittings are manufactured via the forging process. Forged construction ensures exceptional structural integrity and pressure-bearing capacity, with key specifications and details as follows:
- Size Range: 1/2" – 24" (NPS, Nominal Pipe Size)
- Pressure Class: 150LB – 2500LB (ASME B16.5 standard pressure ratings)
- Core Advantages: Forged microstructure provides high mechanical strength, excellent sealing performance, and resistance to fatigue under cyclic pressure—suitable for harsh industrial environments.
- Application Scope: Designed for pipelines transporting liquids, particulates, and gases. Widely used in chemical processing, oil refining, boiler systems, power generation, food processing, and other industrial fields requiring reliable pipeline connection and pressure sealing.
