A105 Forged carbon steel Girth Flange, Body flange For Pressure Vessel with Good Durability

What is Girth Flange / Body Flange?

A Girth Flange (also known as a Body Flange) is a circular, ring-shaped flange welded around the circumference (girth) of pressure vessels, shells, tanks, or large diameter piping. It is used to join two cylindrical sections—typically as a structural or maintenance access point in equipment that cannot be made in a single piece due to size, transport, or fabrication constraints.

Why choose A105 Girth Flange:

• Wide availability: A105 is a commonly used carbon steel material that is readily available in the market, making it easy to source for various industrial applications.
• Cost-effective: A105 girth flanges are relatively affordable compared to other materials, making them a cost-effective choice for projects with budget constraints.
• High strength: A105 carbon steel has excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and impact resistance, making it suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
• Corrosion resistance: A105 girth flanges are resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals is a concern.
• Easy to weld: A105 carbon steel is weldable and can be easily fabricated, allowing for quick and efficient installation of girth flanges in piping systems.

Overall, A105 girth flanges are a reliable and versatile choice for various industrial applications due to their strength, affordability, and corrosion resistance.
