Precision Forged Flanges & Fittings - Built for Global Markets

Forged Flanges for Oil & Gas Industry

API 6A/6D certified flanges. Weld neck, blind, orifice, and spectacle blinds for upstream, midstream, and downstream applications. Corrosion-resistant alloys for sour service and high-pressure environments.

Oil & Gas Sector Demands Excellence

The oil and gas industry operates in some of the world's harshest environments. From subsea wells at 3,000m depth to desert refineries exceeding 50Β°C, flanges must perform flawlessly under extreme pressure, temperature, and corrosive conditions.

JIAJI FORGING has supplied forged flanges to major oil and gas projects across Central Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Our products are used in upstream production facilities, long-distance pipelines, refinery processing units, and LNG terminals.

With API 6A and API 6D product certifications, we understand the stringent requirements of NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 sour service, high-pressure wellhead and Christmas tree applications, and the documentation demands of international oil company (IOC) procurement specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

API 6A Product Specification Levels define requirements for wellhead and Christmas tree equipment. PSL 2 includes enhanced requirements beyond PSL 1: additional material testing (CVN impact at -46Β°C), temperature verification, and documentation. PSL 3 adds independent design verification by an API-accredited agency and additional NDE requirements. Most major IOC projects require PSL 3G (geothermal) or PSL 3 with PR2 performance for high-temperature wells.

Weld Neck Flanges (WN) are the preferred choice for high-pressure sour gas service. The tapered hub provides superior mechanical strength and fatigue resistance under thermal cycling. For sour service, specify:

  • Material: ASTM A182 F51 (2205 duplex) or F53 (2507 super duplex) β€” or Inconel 625 for the most aggressive environments
  • PREN β‰₯ 35 for Hβ‚‚S environments per NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156
  • Full penetration butt weld (groove preparation required)
  • PT / MT / UT examination of all welds
  • Documentation: MTC 3.1, heat traceability, PMI reports

Subsea flange specification requires careful consideration of:

  • Pressure rating: Must exceed maximum wellhead pressure (MWP) with safety factor. Common: Class 2000–5000 (ASME B16.5) or API 6BX flanges for ultra-high pressure
  • Material: Super duplex stainless (2507/UNS S32750) or Inconel 625 for chloride resistance in seawater environment
  • Temperature: Subsea temperatures can reach 4Β°C (deep water) β€” impact testing must cover service temperature
  • Bolt preload: Specify residual bolt stress after assembly for hubbed flanges
  • Interface standard: API 6A, API 17D (subsea production equipment), ISO 13628

Standard documentation package includes:

  • EN 10204 Type 3.1 / 3.2 Material Test Certificates (MTC)
  • Chemical composition report (ladle and product analysis)
  • Mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, reduction of area)
  • Charpy V-notch impact test results at specified temperature
  • Hardness test report (Brinell / Rockwell)
  • Positive Material Identification (PMI) certificates
  • Hydrostatic test pressure and duration
  • Non-destructive examination (NDT) reports: PT, MT, UT, RT as applicable
