ASTM A350 LF2 Flange By Types
ASTM A350 LF2 Weld Neck Flange
ASTM A350 LF2 Weld Neck Flange is an essential solution for low-temperature service. It features a long tapered hub that is expertly welded to the pipe.
ASTM A350 LF2 Slip On Flange
The Slip-On (SO) flange offers a seamless fit over the end of the pipe, ensuring strength and leak prevention through dual inside and outside welding.
ASTM A350 LF2 Socket Weld Flange
The Socket Weld (SW) flange boasts a recessed area (socket) for easy pipe insertion, with fillet welding at the top providing a secure connection.
ASTM A350 LF2 Lap Joint Flange
The Lap Joint flange, also known as a loose flange, offers easy alignment as it slides over a butt-welded stub end, enabling swift rotation.
ASTM A350 LF2 Threaded Flange
The Threaded (TH) flange’s internal threading matches the external threading on the pipe, promoting effortless assembly without welding.
ASTM A350 LF2 Blind Flange
The blind flange—a solid disc with no bore or opening—stands as a reliable solution for fully blocking off pipelines or systems.
Advantages of ASTM A350 LF2 Flanges
Economical
Despite providing excellent performance under low temperature conditions, the cost of ASTM A350 LF2 flanges is generally more economical than that of other high-performance materials.
Excellent low-temperature toughness
ASTM A350 LF2 flanges can withstand temperatures as low as -50°F (-46°C) while retaining their mechanical properties, significantly reducing the risk of brittle fracture.
Stable mechanical properties
The chemical composition and mechanical properties of the material are strictly controlled to ensure that each flange's performance is stable and consistent, with good impact and wear resistance, and to improve its durability in harsh environments.
Good welding performance
Due to their low carbon content, ASTM A350 LF2 flanges have good welding performance, enabling high-quality welded connections and reducing welding defects. They are suitable for welding with various materials and convenient for use in different piping systems.
Carbon steel for low temperature
ASTM A350 LF2 flanges are designed to maintain good mechanical properties and toughness at low temperatures, especially at temperatures as low as -50°F (-46°C) or even lower. Their use in these applications ensures the safety and reliability of the system by preventing brittle fracture at extremely low temperatures. These flanges are suitable for various industries and applications such as oil and gas, chemicals, refrigeration, and nuclear power.

ASTM A350 LF2 class 1 vs class 2
- Class 1 flanges are normalized or normalized and tempered, providing superior toughness and impact resistance at very low temperatures. They are suitable for extreme low-temperature environments.
- Class 2 flanges are tempered and are used in environments with less severe temperature requirements. They offer adequate toughness but are not as resilient as Class 1 flanges in extreme cold conditions.
Here’s the comparison between ASTM A350 LF2 Class 1 and Class 2 flanges in a tabular format:
| Aspect | Klasse 1 | Klasse 2 |
| Warmtebehandeling | Normalization or Normalizing + Tempering | Tempering (Normalization not required) |
| Impact Test Temperature | -50°F (-45°C) | 0°F (-18°C) |
| Mechanische eigenschappen | Higher toughness and better low-temperature impact resistance | Lower toughness compared to Class 1 |
| Sollicitatie | Used in severe low-temperature environments (e.g., Arctic oil and gas, LNG facilities) | Suitable for less stringent low-temperature environments |
| Key Characteristics | Required to withstand extremely low temperatures and provide high impact toughness | Suitable for moderately low temperatures with adequate toughness |
What is the difference between ASTM A105 and ASTM A350 LF2?
ASTM A105 is suitable for ambient and higher temperatures, while ASTM A350 LF2 is designed for cryogenic applications. The chemical composition of A350 LF2 includes additional alloys, such as nickel, which enhances its low-temperature toughness. Impact testing is required during the inspection, which is unnecessary for A105 materials.
