American Standard Butt-Weld Flangeis a standardized pipe fitting designed per American standards (e.g., ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47), featuring a butt-weld connection to fuse with pipes for leak-tight joints. It is widely used in oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and water treatment industries across North America and global projects adopting American standards, where dimensional consistency and high-pressure performance are required.
A key advantage ofAmerican Standard Butt-Weld Flangelies in its strict standardization and structural strength. Compliance with ASME standards ensures uniform dimensions, allowing interchangeability with other American-standard pipes/fittings—simplifying procurement and maintenance. The butt-weld design distributes stress evenly, enabling it to withstand pressures up to Class 2500 and temperatures from -196°C to 815°C, suitable for extreme service conditions.
American Standard Butt-Weld Flangefurther offers versatility and reliability. It is available in materials like carbon steel (A105), stainless steel (304/316L), and alloys (A182 F51), matching diverse media (crude oil, steam, corrosive chemicals). The smooth weld interface minimizes fluid turbulence and erosion, extending system life. Whether used in U.S.-based refineries or global LNG projects, it delivers consistent, code-compliant performance for critical piping connections.
