An Inconel 600 orifice flange is a pair of weld neck or slip-on flanges with pressure taps that hold an orifice plate, made from Inconel 600 to ASTM B564. Orifice flanges are used for flow measurement. Each flange has two ½" NPT pressure-tap holes, and jack screws help separate the pair to change the plate.

Inconel 600 Orifice Flange: Why 600 for orifice flanges
Orifice flanges are used for flow measurement. Each flange has two ½" NPT pressure-tap holes, and jack screws help separate the pair to change the plate. In Inconel 600, 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. Inconel 600 is picked for high-temperature oxidation, caustic and nuclear service. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Furnaces & heat treating — Muffles, retorts and radiant tubes. |
| B16.5 material group | 3.5 |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs such as Inconel 600 from ASTM B166, 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 | ERNiCr-3 (AWS A5.14) |

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiInconel 600 Orifice Flange — questions buyers ask
Why is the minimum class 300 for orifice flanges?
ASME B16.36 starts at Class 300 so the flange is thick enough to drill the pressure taps radially.
What pressure rating does a Inconel 600 orifice flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. Inconel 600 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 3.5; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can Inconel 600 orifice 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 Inconel 600 orifice flanges?
The material is ASTM B564; dimensions follow ASME B16.36. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Inconel 600 orifice 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.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
