ASME B16.5 Flange

ASME B16.5 Flange Manufacturer & Supplier

ASME B16.5 Flanges are the most widely specified pipe flanges in industrial piping, covering sizes from NPS 1/2" to NPS 24". The standard defines the dimensions, tolerances, facing types, pressure-temperature ratings, materials, and testing requirements for flanges and flanged fittings, giving engineers a single reference for interchangeable, leak-tight connections across almost every process piping application.

At Royal Steel India, we manufacture ASME B16.5 flanges in Weld Neck, Slip-On, Blind, Socket Weld, Threaded, Lap Joint and Reducing configurations, in a full range of facing types and pressure classes. Every flange is forged from certified raw material and precision machined to ensure a consistent bolt circle, sealing face finish, and wall thickness, so it mates correctly with mating flanges and valves from any compliant manufacturer.

Our ASME B16.5 flanges are supplied in Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel grades for oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, chemical processing, marine, offshore, water treatment, and general industrial piping projects worldwide.
