ASTM A193 B7M Flanges

While ASTM A193 B7M is primarily a specification for bolting material, Zeron Fasteners specializes in supplying Flanges manufactured using the equivalent B7M alloy steel grade. These flanges, produced via a forging process, are essential components used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment, creating a removable, bolted joint in a piping system. Common types include Weld Neck, Slip-On, and Blind Flanges. The critical use of the B7M material is driven by its specialized heat treatment (the 'M' designation), which results in a controlled maximum hardness. This modification is crucial for providing enhanced resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking (SCC), a requirement for high-pressure, high-temperature service in environments prevalent with corrosive agents, such as the petrochemical and power generation industries, ensuring full compliance with NACE standards. Zeron Fasteners provides B7M Flanges that are perfectly compatible with the matching B7M bolting, ensuring system-wide material integrity.
