Alloy Steel High Pressure Flanges are intended to provide leak-proof and secure connections within pipelines under high operating pressure and high temperature environments. Made in chrome-moly alloy steel grades like ASTM A182 F11, F22, and F91, these flanges are able to provide strength and temperature resistance in the challenging industrial service. These are commonly found in thermal power plants, refineries, petrochemical plants and high pressure steam lines. Selection is based on the grade of material, pressure class, operating temperature, face dimensions and flange type (raised faces or ring-type joint). Solitaire Overseas is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of alloy steel high pressure flange in India, which provide engineered products for demanding industrial applications and project requirements across the globe.

Alloy steel high pressure flanges are pipe connection components designed to withstand high pressures, elevated temperatures, and demanding industrial conditions.
They are used in power plants, oil refineries, petrochemical facilities, boiler piping, and high-pressure steam systems.
ASTM A182 covers forged or rolled alloy and stainless steel pipe flanges, forged fittings, and valves for high-temperature service.
These are ASME pressure classes, not pressures in psi. At ambient temperature in alloy steel, Class 900 is rated around 2,250 psig, Class 1500 around 3,750 psig and Class 2500 around 6,250 psig. Every rating falls as temperature rises, and the applicable figure depends on the grade's ASME B16.5 material group.
Yes. Grades such as ASTM A182 F11, F22, and F91 are used in high-temperature applications, depending on the operating conditions and design requirements.
PWHT may be required depending on the material grade, thickness, welding procedure, service conditions, and applicable construction code.
