Common Materials for Class 2500
Class 2500 flanges are commonly produced in ASTM A105 (carbon steel, forged),ASTM A182 F304 / F316L (austenitic stainless steel), andASTM A182 F11 / F22 (chrome-moly alloy steel) for elevated temperature service. The appropriate material depends on the fluid, design temperature, and corrosion environment. Use the Flange Weight Calculator to estimate unit weights for procurement or shipping.
