An ASTM A335 P22 orifice flange is a pair of weld neck or slip-on flanges with pressure taps that hold an orifice plate, for use with ASTM A335 P22 pipe. ASTM A335 P22 itself is a pipe or plate specification, so the matching orifice flange is made to ASTM A182 F22 — which is what we supply for P22 lines. 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.

ASTM A335 P22 Orifice Flange: Why P22 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 ASTM A335 P22, 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 | Carbon and low-alloy flanges carry most utility, hydrocarbon and high-temperature service. ASTM A335 P22 is picked for high-pressure steam and hydrogen service up to about 580 °C. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Power plants — High-pressure steam lines. |
| B16.5 material group | 1.10 — Group 1.10 applies to A182 F22 Class 3. Chrome-moly welds usually need PWHT; the code sets thickness exemptions. |
| Bolting | ASTM A193 B7 studs with A194 2H nuts; B16 with Gr 4 or 7 nuts where the temperature calls for it |
| Welding to carbon steel | Matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L |
| Matching filler | ER90S-B3 / E9018-B3 |

ASTM A335 P22 Orifice Flanges for export
FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiASTM A335 P22 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 ASTM A335 P22 orifice flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. ASTM A335 P22 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 1.10; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can ASTM A335 P22 orifice flanges be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — matching carbon or low-alloy filler is used; joints to stainless need ER309L.
Which standard covers ASTM A335 P22 orifice flanges?
The material is ASTM A182 F22; 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 ASTM A335 P22 orifice flange?
The steel 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.
