Other common standards include: the Chinese Ministry of Machinery Industry standards (JB series), the Ministry of Chemical Industry standards (HG series), the Chinese National Standard *GB/T 9112–9124-2010 Steel Pipe Flanges*, as well as US standards (ASME B16.5), British standards (BS4504), German standards (DIN), Japanese standards (JIS), and marine standards (CBM), among others. The nominal pressure ratings for the PN series are designated by "PN" and comprise the following nine levels: PN2.5, PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN63, PN100, and PN160. The nominal pressure ratings for the Class series are designated by "Class" and comprise the following six levels: Class150, Class300, Class600, Class900, Class1500, and Class2500.

A flange—also referred to as a flange plate or rim—is a component used to connect shafts to one another, or, more commonly, to join the ends of pipes. Flanges are also utilized at the inlet and outlet ports of equipment to facilitate connections between two devices—for instance, the flange on a speed reducer. A "flange connection" or "flanged joint" refers to a detachable joint assembly comprising three interconnected elements—a flange, a gasket, and bolts—that together form a sealed structural unit. In the context of piping systems, a "pipe flange" specifically denotes a flange used for plumbing within the installation; when applied to equipment, it refers to the inlet or outlet flange of that specific device. Flanges feature a series of holes through which bolts are inserted to securely fasten the two flanges together, while a gasket placed between the flanges ensures a leak-proof seal. Flanges are broadly categorized into three types: threaded (screw-in) flanges, welded flanges, and clamp-type flanges. Flanges are invariably used in pairs; threaded flanges are suitable for low-pressure piping applications, whereas welded flanges are required for systems operating at pressures exceeding 4 kilograms per square centimeter. A sealing gasket is inserted between the two flange plates, which are then firmly secured using bolts. The thickness of a flange—as well as the specifications of the bolts used to fasten it—vary depending on the specific pressure rating required for the application. When connecting equipment such as water pumps or valves to piping systems, the corresponding connection points on these devices are often manufactured in the shape of a matching flange; this method of attachment is also referred to as a "flange connection." Generally, any connecting component that utilizes bolts to join and seal the perimeters of two flat surfaces—such as the joints in ventilation ducts—is termed a "flange"; such components may collectively be classified as "flange-type parts." However, since such a connection often constitutes merely a *portion* of a larger device—for instance, the interface between a flange and a water pump—it would be inappropriate to classify the entire water pump itself as a "flange-type part." Conversely, smaller components—such as valves—that feature such flanged interfaces may indeed be appropriately categorized as "flange-type parts." -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A387 Alloy Steel Flange, Grade 9, Class 1 Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A387 Alloy Steel Flange, Grade 9, Class 1 Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

ASTM A387 Alloy Steel, Grade 9, Class 1 Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ### **Product Introduction: ASTM A387/A387M Alloy Steel, Grade 9, Class 1** **1. Overview** ASTM A387 Grade 9 Class 1 is a chromium-molybdenum (Cr-Mo) alloy steel plate designed for service in welded pressure vessels and other high-temperature applications. This intermediate-grade alloy offers a balanced combination of high-temperature strength, resistance to oxidation, and improved corrosion resistance compared to carbon steels and lower-grade Cr-Mo steels. The "Class 1" designation indicates the material is supplied in the as-rolled or normalized condition, providing good strength for a wide range of elevated temperature services. **2. Key International Standards** * **Primary Standard:** **ASTM A387/A387M** - Standard Specification for Pressure Vessel Plates, Alloy Steel, Chromium-Molybdenum. * This standard defines the chemical, mechanical, and heat treatment requirements. * **Dimensional & General Requirements:** * **ASTM A20/A20M** - Standard Specification for General Requirements for Steel Plates for Pressure Vessels. This provides supplementary requirements for testing, inspection, and tolerances. * **Equivalent Standards:** * **EN / DIN:** 12CrMo9-10 (A comparable European grade). * **JIS:** SCMV 26 (Japanese standard for Cr-Mo steel for pressure vessels). * **ASME:** SA-387 Gr. 9 Cl. 1 (The ASME code case version). **3.

(50 mm), (min) | 20% | | **Hardness (typical)** | **~130-180 HB** | **Approximate Physical Properties:** * **Density:** 7.80 g/cm³ (0.282 lb/in³) * **Melting Point:** ~ 1400 - 1450 °C (2550 - 2640 °F) * **Modulus of Elasticity:** 200 GPa (29 x 10⁶ psi) * **Thermal Conductivity:** ~ 30.0 W/m·K (at 100°C) * **Coefficient of Thermal Expansion:** ~ 11.0 x 10⁻⁶ /K (20-100°C) *Note: Physical properties, especially modulus of elasticity and thermal conductivity, are temperature-dependent and should be verified for specific design calculations.* **5. Product Applications** ASTM A387 Gr 9 Cl 1 is widely used in pressure vessel components that operate at elevated temperatures where resistance to oxidation and hydrogen attack is required. * **Petroleum Refining:** Hydrotreating reactors, catalytic reformers, and high-pressure heat exchangers. * **Power Generation:** Boiler shells, steam drums, and high-temperature piping systems. * **Chemical & Petrochemical Plants:** Reactors and vessels exposed to corrosive process streams at elevated temperatures. * **Oil & Gas Industry:** Equipment for gas processing and synthesis applications. **6. Key Characteristics & Advantages** * **Good High-Temperature Strength:** Maintains strength and resists creep at temperatures up to approximately 580°C (1075°F). * **Excellent Oxidation Resistance:** The 9% Chromium content provides significantly better resistance to scaling and oxidation in steam and flue gas environments compared to lower-chromium steels. * **Resistance to Hydrogen Attack:** Suitable for service in high-pressure hydrogen environments as per the Nelson Curve (API RP 941). * **Weldability:** It possesses fair weldability but requires strict adherence to welding procedures, including pre-heating and Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT), to prevent cracking and ensure the integrity of the weldment. In summary, **ASTM A387 Grade 9 Class 1** is a versatile and widely used intermediate chromium-molybdenum alloy steel plate. It serves as a critical material for pressure vessels and components operating in high-temperature and mildly corrosive environments, bridging the performance gap between low-alloy steels and more advanced grades like Grade 91. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A387 Alloy Steel, Grade 9, Class 1 Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <4377 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A387 Alloy Steel, Grade 9, Class 1 Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
