1,We Manufacturing processes are primarily classified into four types: 1:Forging, 2:Casting, 3:Cutting, 4:Rolling. 2,We can manufacture in accordance with these standards. Standards: GB Series (Chinese Standards), JB Series (Machinery Standards), HG Series (Chemical Industry Standards), ASME B16.5 (American Standards), BS4504 (British Standards), DIN (German Standards), and JIS (Japanese Standards). Internationally, there are two primary systems of pipe flange standards: the European system, represented by the German DIN standards (including those of the former Soviet Union), and the American system, represented by the US ANSI pipe flange standards. 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. -: Ovako C45 EN 10083-2:2006 Steel Flange Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: Ovako C45 EN 10083-2:2006 Steel Flange Synonyms -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:

International & Equivalent Standards** EN 10083-2 is part of a globally recognized system with direct equivalents. | Standard System | Equivalent Grade | **Status / Relationship** | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **EN** | **EN 10083-2:2006 - 1.0503 (C45E)** | **The governing standard** for this product. | | **DIN** | **1.0503 (Formerly Ck 45)** | The German pre-standard, fully incorporated into EN. | | **ISO** | **ISO 683-18: Type 1.0503** | International equivalent standard. | | **AISI/SAE** | **1045** | The direct U.S. equivalent in terms of chemical composition. | | **JIS** | **S45C** | The Japanese equivalent. | | **GB (China)** | **45# Steel** | The Chinese equivalent. | | **Ovako Proprietary** | **e.g., C45 5155, C45 047A** | Ovako's internal specifications that often use EN 10083-2 as a baseline but may include tighter controls or specific processing. | **Key Distinction:** Specifying **"Ovako C45 EN 10083-2:2006"** ensures receipt of a steel that **meets a published, harmonized European standard**. This is crucial for procurement, quality assurance, and design within the EU and many other markets. It differs from ordering a proprietary grade (e.g., 5155), where the exact specifications are defined by the manufacturer. --- ## **5. Key Advantages & Considerations** **Advantages:** * **Standard Compliance:** Guarantees material quality and enables traceability according to a widely recognized and accepted norm. * **Versatility:** Suitable for various heat treatments (Q&T, induction hardening, normalizing) to achieve different property profiles. * **Good Machinability (in normalized/annealed state):** Can be easily machined prior to final hardening. * **Cost-Effectiveness:** As a non-alloy steel, it provides a favorable performance-to-cost ratio for a vast range of applications. * **Wide Availability & Knowledge Base:** Extensive industry experience with processing and application. **Considerations:** * **Limited Hardenability:** Compared to alloy steels like 42CrMo4 (4140), its hardenability is lower, limiting the cross-section size that can be fully through-hardened. * **Requires Heat Treatment for High Strength:** To achieve its full potential, quenching and tempering are necessary. * **Not a Clean Steel Grade:** The standard does not specify inclusion control. For critical fatigue applications, a cleaner steel (e.g., Ovako's "Imatra 4 M" quality) may be required. * **Weldability with Precautions:** Weldable with proper pre-heating and low-hydrogen electrodes, but not designed as a primary welding steel. --- **Disclaimer:** When ordering to EN 10083-2, the **specific condition (e.g., +QT to Rm 900 MPa, +N)** must be clearly stated in the purchase order. The standard provides a framework, but the exact properties for delivery are subject to agreement. Always review the **Inspection Certificate (EN 10204 Type 3.1)** provided by Ovako, which certifies compliance with the ordered standard and condition. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: Ovako C45 EN 10083-2:2006 Steel Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <5087 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. -: Ovako C45 EN 10083-2:2006 Steel Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
