ASTM A105 steel flanges are carbon steel forged flanges primarily used for pipeline connections, valves, and equipment interfaces. They comply with the requirements of the American ASTM A105 standard. These flanges feature high strength, excellent weldability, and pressure resistance, making them suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure pipeline systems.

Note:
The table lists common dimensions for Class 150 flanges. Outer diameters and thicknesses increase for other pressure ratings (Class 300, 600, etc.).
Bolt hole diameters and quantities are designed per standards to ensure sealing integrity and installation reliability.
Non-standard dimensions and corrosion protection treatments can be customized per project requirements.

Class 150: Suitable for low-pressure applications, such as building ventilation systems and low-pressure steam pipelines.
Class 300, 400, 600, 900: Suitable for medium-pressure requirements, such as petrochemical pipelines and medium-pressure boiler piping.
Class 1500, 2500: Suitable for high-pressure applications, such as natural gas transmission pipelines and high-pressure reactors.
Series A: Class 150, 300, 400, 600, 900 (General purpose, larger sizes).
Series B: Class 75, 150, 300, 400, 600, 900 (Compact design, suitable for space-constrained applications).
