ASTM A182 F60 UNS S32205 Forged Duplex Steel Flange

What is A182 F60 grade material?
ASTM A182 F60 is a forged material specification for grade 60 stainless steel, used for manufacturing bare forgings or forged and machined products for high-temperature applications.

What is ASTM A182 gr F60 equivalent to?
ASTM A182 F60 is often referred to as "Alloy 2205" or "Duplex Stainless Steel 2205," but the former has a UNS number of S31803, while the latter has a UNS number of S32205.

 

ASTM A182 F60 flanges are available in various sizes, ranging from ½ inch to 36 inches. These flanges come in different sizes and standards, therefore the pressure ratings also vary. The pressure capacity is determined by the pressure class, which ranges from Class 150 to Class 2500.
A182 F60 flanges can have different sealing face types, including flat face, raised face, or ring type joint flanges. The production type of these flanges can be plate flanges, threaded flanges, bolted flanges, or forged flanges.
A182 F60 threaded flanges have internal threads at both ends, allowing connection with externally threaded pipe ends. Additionally, threaded flanges can also be welded for a more secure connection.

What are the differences between ASTM A182 F60 and F51?

Although neither ASME B16.5 nor ASME B16.47 lists ASTM A182 F60 as an approved material, they do approve the use of ASTM A182 F51 as a flange material. ASTM A182 F60 flanges can be considered as ASTM A182 F51 flanges with a narrower compositional range. The pressure-temperature ratings for ASTM A182 F51 flanges are also applicable to ASTM A182 F60 flanges. In this case, ASTM A182 F60 can be considered a dual-certified grade of S31803/S32205.
