produced from the same heat of steel and subjected to the same finishing
(i.e., heat treatment, amount of working). Heat treatment may be
considered continuous providing all temperatures are controlled within

furnace loads shall be considered separate heat treat lots.
4.1.2
4.2
All flange manufacturers shall perform forging, machining and heat treatment
operations either in-house or in a wholly owned subsidiary approved by Saudi
Aramco. It is not permitted to outsource forging, machining or heat treatment

4.3
Flange manufacturers are not permitted to procure rough forging for further
processing.

Special Designs
Flanges not covered by the ASME/ANSI, API or Saudi Aramco standard
drawings shall be designed in accordance with ASME SEC VIII D1, Appendix 2.
These special designs shall be submitted to Saudi Aramco for approval prior to
manufacture.
Materials
Flange materials shall be carbon steel, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steel, low alloy
steel, stainless steel and corrosion resistant alloys as specified in Table 5.
Pipeline anchor flanges shall be of materials shown for F60 or stronger flanges of the
same class and size shown in Table 6.
Rings for swivel ring flanges shall be of the same strength level as the welding ends or
hubs. ASTM A694 can be used for the swivel ring but not for the welding end.
Alternatively, swivel rings can be manufactured from the same material as the welding
end or hub.
5.1

Forging Processes
5.2.1
5.3
All flanges are required to meet the definition of hot worked forgings in
ASTM A788 and ASTM A961 and all other such appropriate general
requirements:
5.2.2
5.2.3
Blanks for open-die-forged flanges, hammer-forged flanges, and ringrolled flanges shall be hot worked to a minimum reduction ratio of 2:1
before forging to shape or ring-rolling is initiated. All such pre-form raw
material shall be capable of meeting a C2; R2; S2 rating, as described in
ASTM E381, prior to profile forging to near net shape.
5.2.4
All flanges greater than 24 inch diameter shall be ring rolled unless
alternate forming options can demonstrate the final product exhibits
acceptable metallurgical structure and mechanical properties in the
rim/hub region.

5.3.1
5.3.2
5.3.3
ASTM A516 plate, used for blind flanges, spectacle plates, blinds, and
spacers, shall be tested as specified in ASTM A516 S2, S5, S12 and the
required longitudinal Charpy V-notch impact values shall be 34/27 J
(25/20 ft-lbs) for standard 10 mm by 10 mm specimens.
Commentary Note:
Impact test temperature is given in ASTM A20 Paragraph 12.1.5.
5.4
Heat Treatment
All flanges shall be furnace heat treated as indicated in Table 5 after all forge
processing is complete. Cooling directly from forging temperature is not
acceptable as a normalize heat treatment. Terms and definitions for heat
treatment shall be in accordance with ASTM A941.
Any heating above the lower transformation temperature (A1) shall be
recognized as eliminating any previous heat treat condition. Minimum
temperature for tempering or precipitation hardening is 590C.
5.5
Chemical Requirements
Chemical analysis shall be performed upon each heat for all elements specified
in the respective standards; including additional elements specified herein (see
Table 5). Elements for which heat analysis data are not available may be
determined by check or product analysis if necessary.
The composition limits of the respective standards in shall be met unless stated
otherwise by this specification (see Table 5).
5.5.1
Heat Analysis
Heat Analysis is required for: Carbon, Manganese, Phosphorus,
Sulfur, Silicon, Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum, Copper, Niobium
(Columbium), Vanadium, Titanium, Aluminum, and Boron.
Analysis for Calcium and Nitrogen is also required when specified
in the respective standards or in this specification.
Material test certificate shall state that vacuum degassing was performed.

5.5.2
5.5.3
Carbon Equivalents
Maximum allowable values for carbon equivalent (CE), and carbon
content (C) for finished flanges, are to be determined at the same
location as mechanical tests in 5.6.1.

Mechanical Requirements
Mechanical testing of representative samples from each heat treat lot is required
for acceptance of all flanges. Testing is to be in accordance with the appropriate
ASTM/API standard and the additional requirements of this specification as
shown in Table 5.
5.6.1
Where a separately forged test bar is used, it shall be from the same heat
as the final forgings. The test bar shall receive the same approximate
working, as documented in the product quality plan (see 4.4) and shall be
heat treated with the flange forgings it represents. Separately forged test
bars shall be at least 300 mm long, or they may be rings consistent with
the production forgings. Transverse test specimens shall be at least
140 mm in a dimension transverse to the principal direction of hot
working.
If for any reason a flange cannot be forged to near net shape, the section
dimensions of the forged test specimen shall be 6.5 mm of the rim
dimensions (T REF in Table 6) of the product in the as-forged condition
(before machining).
Weld end prolongations (integral test rings) are allowed for ring-rolled
flanges that are forged to near-net-shape, (within 6.5 mm of finished
size), with the following limitations:
Page 11 of 31
Material code A does not require impact testing. All other flanges shall
be represented by tension test and Charpy V-notch specimens, as
applicable in Table 5, with test axes transverse to the principal direction
of hot work.
For Charpy V-notch on flanges 12 inches and less in diameter,
longitudinal specimens may be substituted if an additional 25 ft-lb are
added to the minimum required toughness in Table 5.
For clarification, the axis of the Charpy V-notch shall be parallel to the
principal direction of hot work.
Principle direction of hot work is defined as follows:
5.6.3
a)
b)
Hardness Tests
Finished flanges shall be tested by the standard Brinell method per
ASTM E10, or other Saudi Aramco approved hardness measurement
method, so that test values can be verified.
The test method shall provide accuracy and precision (demonstrated
repeatability) equivalent to the standard Brinell test and shall produce
results that can be cross-referenced to standard Brinell values.
Impressions shall be on either the side of the flange rim or on the outer
diameter, mid-way between bolt hole locations. Every flange and test
ring shall be tested at two locations 180 degrees apart.
Report all values; see Table 5 for acceptance values. The highest and
lowest values from the same test lot, test specimens included, shall not
differ by more than 30 HB, or the entire lot is rejected. Re-testing after
re-heat treatment is required.
Corrosion Tests
6.1
All austenitic stainless steel grades except those specified in Table 2 shall be
subjected to intergranular corrosion test as per ASTM A262 Practice E.
Requirement for sensitization of samples shall be as specified in ASTM A262
except that sensitization heat treatment is not required for grades having more
that 3% Mo.
Page 12 of 31
6.2
Intergranular Corrosion test specified in paragraph 6.1 above is not required for
heats having less than 0.020% carbon as shown in product analysis.

Testing shall be conducted from the welding end before beveling, in an
intermediate-machined state, with welding and sealing ends machined at right

required if the intended UT procedure can demonstrate, and document, that
adequate inspection reliability of the welding end can be achieved without
intermediate stage testing.

The marking requirements of the respective ASTM and API standards apply to all
flanges, subject to the further requirements of this specification.
The Manufacturer shall be identified on all flanges. Pipe size and bore (Schedule, XS,
etc.) shall show on all flanges. The API monogram is not mandatory for API SPEC 6A
Type 6B flanges, but API shall show on all flanges. The material standard shall show
