Overview

Engineering reference data for Steel Flanges Pressure Rating in material science and properties.

Key Formulas

Stress

σ=FA\sigma = \frac{F}{A}

Force per unit area.

Strain

ε=ΔLL0\varepsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0}

Change in length per original length.

Hooke's Law

σ=Eε\sigma = E \varepsilon

Stress proportional to strain in elastic region.

Thermal Expansion

ΔL=αL0ΔT\Delta L = \alpha L_0 \Delta T

Length change due to temperature.

Additional Formulas

The following formulas are essential for pressure rating calculations and unit conversions.

Pressure Unit Conversions: 1 psi=144 psf=6,894.8 Pa=6.895×103 N/mm2=6.895×102 bar1 \text{ psi} = 144 \text{ psf} = 6,894.8 \text{ Pa} = 6.895 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N/mm}^2 = 6.895 \times 10^{-2} \text{ bar}

Temperature Conversion (Fahrenheit to Celsius): tC=59(tF32)t_C = \frac{5}{9} (t_F - 32)

Material Specification Note

The provided pressure ratings are specifically for flanges made from *ASTM A-105 carbon steel forgings (Material Group 1.1). Ratings for other material groups (e.g., Group 1.2) will differ.
