Carbon steel flanges can join pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment in a piping system. They are typically composed of carbon and iron or carbon steel. Numerous carbon steel flanges are used in piping systems, including threaded, blind, slip-on, socket weld, and weld neck flanges, each with a distinct purpose. Their ability to tolerate high temperatures and pressures in industrial settings makes them ideal for various industries, including water treatment, petrochemical, oil and gas, and power generation.

Carbon Steel Flanges. Today's most common material grade is A105 forged carbon steel, with sizes ranging from 1/2“ – 24” in ASME B16. and 5 26” – 60” in ASME B16. 47, and 26” – 96” in B16.

The suitability of carbon steel flanges for high-temperature applications varies depending on the type of carbon steel and the temperature conditions. These flanges are frequently utilized in industrial settings, including refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities, where high temperatures are prevalent.
