Carbon Steel Flanges

Carbon steel flanges are mainly made of carbon steel materials, common materials are ASTM A694, ASTM A105N (SA105N), MSS SP-44, DIN 2533, etc., and their carbon content is between 0.25-0.60%, containing a large amount of carbon and manganese, so the melting point of the carbon steel material is low, ductility is good, which makes it more convenient to use the processing and manufacturing, and it has certain Room corrosion, smooth surface, good durability, and relatively cheap stainless steel flange, is widely used in a variety of industrial pipelines.

Here is the detailed feature and performance table for carbon steel flanges:

This comprehensive table provides detailed information about the features, performance, common material grades, specification sizes, standards, types, flange faces and connection methods, and the manufacturing process of carbon steel flanges. It will help you gain a comprehensive understanding of carbon steel flanges’ characteristics, enabling you to make informed decisions regarding material and specification choices to meet specific engineering requirements. Please note that selecting the right specifications, sizes, and flange types is critical to ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of flanges in a system.

HOW TO PREVENT CARBON STEEL FLANGE FROM RUSTING?

  1. varnish: brushing a layer of varnish on top of the carbon steel flange can form a protective layer, effectively preventing contact with corrosive substances minus rust.
  2. Anti-rust paint: this is the same principle as varnish, anti-rust paint is more effective, it helps to prevent moisture from entering the metal, effectively preventing rust and corrosion.
  3. Zinc plating (yellow or white zinc): a layer of zinc coating on the flange, effectively preventing corrosive substances and moisture contact with the flange, to achieve the effect of rust prevention.

It is a metallic material with a carbon content between 0.25 and 0.60%, commonly known by the material numbers ASTM A694, ASTM A105N (SA105N), MSS SP-44, and DIN 2533.

Carbon steel flanges and other materials flanges, such as stainless steel flanges and alloy steel flanges, the difference is that the corrosion resistance is slightly worse, but the price is cheap, for the requirements are not high in the general pipeline, carbon steel flanges can be completely.

Carbon steel flanges have a smooth surface, corrosion resistance, good ductility, easier processing, and at the same time cheaper, so they are widely used, mostly in low-pressure occasions.

If the corrosiveness is not very strong, to carbon steel flange paint or galvanized coating can also be used, but must pay attention to regular inspection and maintenance to protect the normal operation of the pipeline.
