Tubewell Steel & Engg. Co. is a leading manufacturer and stockist specializing in Alloy Steel Pipes, Tubes, Fittings and Flanges for critical industrial applications.
2.25% Chromium – 1% Molybdenum forged flanges in Class 1 and Class 3 for high-temperature steam, boiler and hydroprocessing service.
Tubewell Steel & Engg. Co. is a leading manufacturer, stockist and supplier of ASTM A182 F22 flanges in Mumbai, India. With 2.25% chromium and 1% molybdenum, F22 offers higher creep-rupture strength than F11 and is the preferred flange grade for A335 P22 main steam, boiler and hydrogen-service piping.
Higher creep strength for steam and hydrogen service
ASTM A182 F22 is a 2.25% chromium – 1% molybdenum ferritic alloy steel, widely regarded as the benchmark grade for elevated-temperature pressure parts. Its doubled molybdenum content gives significantly better creep and stress-rupture strength than F11, while the chromium level provides good resistance to oxidation and high-temperature hydrogen attack. Class 1 (415 MPa tensile, 170 HB max) suits applications needing lower hardness, and Class 3 (515 MPa tensile) is the standard grade for B16.5 flanges.
We supply F22 flanges forged from certified steel, annealed or normalized and tempered at a minimum of 675°C as A182 requires, then CNC machined to ASME B16.5, B16.47, MSS SP-44 or EN 1092-1. Bores are matched to the mating P22 pipe schedule and every flange is PMI-checked, hardness tested and hard-stamped with full heat traceability. IBR certification, EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 documentation and third-party inspection are available on request.
