Comprehensive Range
Australia uses a variety of flange standards including ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers B16.5, B16.47) for oil and gas, Australian standards for general industry (AS2129 ) and water (AS4087) and British and European standards (BS4504 and EN1092) for imported pumps. To cater for these applications we are required to keep a comprehensive range of all these standards of flanges and valves. Typically we stock items to AS2129, AS4087, EN1092,ASME B16.5,ASME B16.47 flanges in sizes up to 1200 mm ID. Valves are stocked with AS2129 and ASME B16.5 flanges. Applications vary widely and require flanges of different materials ranging from stocked materials such as standard carbon steels like GR250 and A105, low temperature carbon steel LF2, stainless steel 304, 316, 2205(SAF) to special order Chromoly and exotic alloys like Hastelloy and Incoloy.
