ANSI CL 400–600 Flanges – High-Pressure ASME B16.5 Flanges

ANSI CL 400–600 flanges are designed to perform under high-pressure conditions and are governed by the ASME B16.5 standard. These flanges ensure a reliable, leak-proof joint in piping systems subjected to pressures up to 600 psi. Werner Flanges Inc. supplies precision-engineered ANSI 400 and 600 flanges in various face types, sizes, and drilling templates. These are widely used where enhanced mechanical strength and durability are critical.

Industries such as petrochemical, refinery, power generation, offshore, LNG, and shipbuilding frequently use Class 400 and Class 600 ANSI flanges due to their capability to endure high pressure and temperature fluctuations. They are essential for flanged joints in pumps, valves, pipelines, and pressure vessels in critical service applications.

Werner Flanges Inc. maintains extensive stock of ANSI CL 400–600 flanges in a wide range of sizes (½” to 24″), material grades, and pressure classes. Our product range includes weld neck, slip-on, socket weld, blind, threaded, and lap joint flanges with face types such as RF, FF, and RTJ. Custom sizes, drilling patterns, and coatings are also available on Request

As a globally trusted manufacturer and exporter, Werner Flanges Inc. delivers top-tier ANSI flanges engineered for demanding industrial conditions. With a commitment to quality, we provide mill test certificates, dimensional reports, and third-party inspections as needed. Our in-house manufacturing and fast global logistics make us a preferred partner for large-scale industrial projects.
