ASTM A105 Flange Standard Specification

Date:2025-06-16Tags:ASTM A105 , Flange


Standard Scope

ASTM A105 covers forged carbon steel flange and piping components for ambient and higher-temperature service in pressure systems. It also includes pipe fittings, valves and similar parts. The maximum weight manufactured forging part follows by this standard is 10000 bounds (4540kg). The larger forgings can according by the standard A 266/A266M. This specification do not covers tube sheets and hollow cylindrical forgings for pressure vessel shells .

This specification does not covers raw material which round bar and seamless tubular produced piping components.

Chemical Composition of ASTM A105 Material

The chemical composition of ASTM A105 carbon steel ensures a balance between strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance. The typical chemical composition is as follows:
Element Composition (%)
Carbon (C) ≤ 0.35
Manganese (Mn) 0.60 – 1.05
Phosphorus (P) ≤ 0.035
Sulfur (S) ≤ 0.040
Silicon (Si) 0.10 – 0.35
Copper (Cu) ≤ 0.40
Nickel (Ni) ≤ 0.40
Chromium (Cr) ≤ 0.30
Molybdenum (Mo) ≤ 0.12
Vanadium (V) ≤ 0.08


These elements provide the necessary mechanical strength and machinability for high-pressure applications.


Mechanical Properties of ASTM A105 Flange

ASTM A105 flanges are valued for their excellent mechanical performance under pressure and high-temperature environments. The mechanical properties are defined as:
Property Value
Tensile Strength ≥ 485 MPa (70 ksi)
Yield Strength ≥ 250 MPa (36 ksi)
Elongation ≥ 22%
Hardness ≤ 187 HB (Brinell Hardness)


Heat Treatment

No heat treatment is required except for flanges above 300 lbs class, special design flanges with unknown design pressure or design temperature, and flanges above 4 inches NPS and above 300 lbs class. If heat treatment is required, annealing, normalizing, normalizing and tempering, normalizing, quenching and tempering, etc. should be used.

FAQ – ASTM A105 Flange

1. What is ASTM A105 flange used for?

It is used in pressure systems at ambient and high temperatures, commonly in oil & gas, power, and petrochemical industries.

2. What does A105N mean?

A105N means the material has been normalized—heat-treated to improve strength and grain structure.

3. Is A105 suitable for low temperatures?

No, it is not recommended for low-temperature service. Use ASTM A350 LF2 instead.

4. What flange types are available in A105?

Weld Neck, Slip-On, Blind, Socket Weld, Threaded, and Lap Joint.

5. What are the common pressure classes?

Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, and 2500 per ASME B16.5.
