Everything You Need to Know About ASTM A182 F22 Cl.3 Flanges – Anita Steel & Metals


Introduction:

In high-pressure, high-temperature applications, the reliability and strength of components like flanges are critical. One such trusted material is ASTM A182 F22 Class 3, a low-alloy steel containing chromium and molybdenum. At Anita Steel & Metals, we offer a full range of ASTM A182 F22 Cl.3 flanges that meet stringent global standards, including IBR and NACE compliance, ensuring safe, efficient, and durable performance in demanding industrial environments.


What is ASTM A182 F22 Cl.3?

ASTM A182 F22 Cl.3 is a forged low alloy steel, primarily used in high-temperature services such as boilers, pressure vessels, and petrochemical pipelines. The "Class 3" variant refers to its enhanced mechanical properties and higher hardness compared to Class 1 or Class 2.


Chemical Composition:

ElementContent (%)
Carbon (C)0.05 – 0.15
Manganese0.30 – 0.60
Silicon0.50 max
Chromium1.90 – 2.60
Molybdenum0.87 – 1.13
Phosphorus≤ 0.035
Sulfur≤ 0.040

This composition offers excellent strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance, especially in elevated temperature environments.


Mechanical Properties (Class 3):

PropertyValue

When is it best to use a lap joint flange?

lap-joint-flangeIs its good for very expensive materials like tantalum and zirconium and other specialty alloys like Hastelloy or Inconel due to reduced cost of sleeve vs solid flange. Lap joint flanges are unique in that they are made of two pieces, the flange itself and the stub end. This allows for the flange to be made of a lower cost steel, while only the stub end requires specialty materials.
Lap Joint Flange Uses
Economy
Because a lap joint flange has a two piece configuration, it offers a way to cut cost when piping systems requires a high cost alloy for all “wetted” parts to reduce corrosion. In this situation, it is only required for the stub-end to be can be made of the higher cost corrosion-resistant material, where the flange itself can be the produced from lower cost steel.
Ease of Work
By using lap joint flanges, work can be simplified in situations that require frequent and rapid disassemble and assembly during the operation of a plant. The ability to spin that backing flange compensates for misalignment of the bolt holes during assembly.
Physical Features
Flange
1.  The backside, has a slight shoulder that is square cut at the center or pipe hole
2.  The front side has a flat face with a filleted (rounded) center hole to match the filleted back face of the stub end. Here the stub end will wrap tightly around the center hole of the flange.

StubEnd
1.Shape like a short piece of pipe with a weld bevel on one. This portion of the stub end is also called the sleeve.
2.  Narrow shoulder on the flange facing end called is the hub. The back face of the hub has a rounded transition (or inside fillet) that joins the hub to the sleeve.



Lap Joint Flanges


Lap Joint flange normally consists of an inner section the same size as the pipe and an outer ring with bolt holes. The use of Lap Joint Flanges at points where severe bending stress occurs should be avoided.
