ASTM A105 carbon steel reducing flanges are used to connect pipes of different diameters within a piping system. These flanges are made from ASTM A105 carbon steel, known for its high strength and durability, making them suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications. The reducing flange features a tapered bore that allows for a smooth transition between two different pipe sizes, providing a secure and leak-proof connection. Commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation, reducing flanges facilitate the adaptation of different pipe sizes within the same system, ensuring efficient and reliable flow control.
