EN1092-1 Type 01A Flat Faced Plate Flange F316L Stainless Steel Flange
An EN 1092-1 Type 01A Flat Face Plate Flange made of ASTM A182 F316L stainless steel is a flat, circular steel disc with bolt holes but no hub or raised face. It is designed to be welded directly to a pipe or fitting and uses a full-face gasket (flat sealing surface). The material F316L is a low-carbon, molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless steel that provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and acids, and resists sensitization after welding.
EN 1092-1 & ASME B16.5 / B16.47 Flange Which One to Use?
| Scenario | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Project in Europe, Asia, or spec calls for PN | Use EN 1092-1 |
| Project in North America, or spec calls for Class | Use ASME B16.5 / B16.47 |
| Connecting to existing flanges | Must match the standard – do not mix EN and ASME directly |
| International oil & gas (offshore) | Often ASME, but some European operators accept EN with PN/Class conversion |
|
* Never directly bolt an EN 1092-1 flange to an ASME B16.5 flange. Bolt circle diameters, hole sizes, and facing dimensions are different. Use a proper adapter flange or a custom-made transition piece designed to both standards. |
