A Monel K500 anchor flange is a forged ring welded into a pipeline to fix it to a structure, made from Monel K500 to project / purchase specification dependent. Anchor flanges restrain pipelines against thrust and movement — at pump stations, river crossings and pig traps. They are made to project drawings.

When to Choose an Anchor Flange
Anchor flanges restrain pipelines against thrust and movement — at pump stations, river crossings and pig traps. They are made to project drawings.
- Made to drawing
- Usually weld neck on both sides
- Often large and heavy forgings

Monel K500 Anchor Flange: Why K500 for anchor flanges
Anchor flanges restrain pipelines against thrust and movement — at pump stations, river crossings and pig traps. They are made to project drawings. In Monel K500, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy flanges are used where acids, chlorides or heat defeat stainless. Monel K500 is picked for high-strength pump shafts, bolting and springs in seawater. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Marine — Propeller and pump shafts. |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs in Monel K500 (bar to ASTM B865, where applicable), as the project specifies |
| Welding to carbon steel | A nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ERNiCu-7 (non-ageing) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Monel K500 Anchor Flange — questions buyers ask
What information is needed to quote an anchor flange?
The project drawing with pipe size, wall, design loads and material, plus the inspection plan.
Can Monel K500 anchor flanges be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — a nickel-base filler such as ERNiCr-3 (or ERNiCrMo-3) is used when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers Monel K500 anchor flanges?
The finished flange specification is project / purchase specification dependent, so none is named here; dimensions follow Project drawing. State the flange specification your project requires on the purchase order.
What decides the price of a Monel K500 anchor flange?
The alloy price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
Can you supply Monel K500 anchor flanges to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Monel K500 is listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits; state NACE compliance on the order and it is confirmed on the certificate.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
