Tubewell Steel & Engg. Co. is a leading manufacturer and stockist specializing in Alloy Steel Pipes, Tubes, Fittings and Flanges for critical industrial applications.
Tubewell Steel & Engg. Co. is a manufacturer, stockist and supplier of ASTM A182 alloy steel flanges from Mumbai, India. Our range covers F5, F9, F11, F12, F22 and F91 chrome-molybdenum grades in every common pattern – weld neck, slip-on, blind, socket weld, threaded, lap joint and RTJ – machined to ASME B16.5, B16.47 and EN 1092-1 for power, refinery and petrochemical piping.
Forged chrome-moly flanges for elevated-temperature piping systems
Alloy steel flanges are forged from ferritic chromium-molybdenum steels covered by ASTM A182 / ASME SA182. Chromium (1% to 10%) gives resistance to oxidation, sulphidation and high-temperature hydrogen attack, while molybdenum (0.5% to 1%) raises creep and stress-rupture strength. This makes chrome-moly flanges the natural mating component for A335 P-grade pipes and A234 WP-grade fittings in steam, hydrocarbon and hydrogen service where carbon steel flanges would lose strength.
Every flange we supply starts as a certified forging that is heat treated – annealed or normalized and tempered as A182 requires – and then CNC machined to ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47 Series A / B, MSS SP-44 or EN 1092-1. Bores are matched to the connecting pipe schedule, faces are serrated to 125–250 µin Ra for spiral-wound gaskets, and each piece is hard-stamped with grade, size, class and heat number for full traceability. EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates, IBR documentation and third-party inspection are available on request.
