A Hastelloy C22 reducing flange is a flange with a smaller bore than its outside dimensions, connecting to a smaller pipe, made from Hastelloy C22 to ASTM B462 / B564. A reducing flange changes pipe size at a flanged joint without a separate reducer, saving space and a weld. Use it where the flow disturbance from a sudden change is acceptable.

When to Choose a Reducing Flange
A reducing flange changes pipe size at a flanged joint without a separate reducer, saving space and a weld. Use it where the flow disturbance from a sudden change is acceptable.
- Outside dimensions of the larger size
- Bore / hub for the smaller pipe
- Weld neck, slip-on or threaded styles

Hastelloy C22 Reducing Flange: Why C22 for reducing flanges
A reducing flange changes pipe size at a flanged joint without a separate reducer, saving space and a weld. Use it where the flow disturbance from a sudden change is acceptable. In Hastelloy C22, 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. Hastelloy C22 is picked for mixed oxidising and reducing acids, and weld overlays. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Chemical processing — Equipment seeing both oxidising and reducing conditions. |
| B16.5 material group | 3.8 |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs in Hastelloy C22 (bar to ASTM B574, 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 | ERNiCrMo-10 (AWS A5.14) |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |

Hastelloy C22 Reducing Flange — questions buyers ask
Is a reducing flange better than a reducer plus flange?
It saves length and a weld, but a buttweld reducer gives smoother flow. Choose by space and process needs.
What pressure rating does a Hastelloy C22 reducing flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. Hastelloy C22 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 3.8; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can Hastelloy C22 reducing 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 Hastelloy C22 reducing flanges?
The material is ASTM B462 / B564; dimensions follow ASME B16.5. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a Hastelloy C22 reducing 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 Hastelloy C22 reducing flanges to NACE MR0175?
Yes. Hastelloy C22 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.
