ASTM A182 F9 Flanges are made to ASTM A182 / ASME SA182 F9 for high-temperature refinery service. They are supplied in every common flange type and facing to ASME B16.5, B16.47 and the main EN, DIN, BS and JIS standards.
Raaj Fittings manufactures ASTM A182 F9 flanges in-house at our two plants in India, from ½" to 60" and in Class 150 to Class 2500, and exports them to EPC contractors, fabricators and stockists across the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, with full traceability and EN 10204 certificates.

ASTM A182 F9 is a 9% chromium, 1% molybdenum alloy steel. The higher chromium gives better resistance to high-temperature sulphidation and oxidation than 5Cr, for refinery and petrochemical service at the upper end of the chrome-moly range.

ASTM A182 F9 flanges are supplied normalised and tempered (or annealed, as the specification allows) with hardness checked. Welding to chrome-moly pipe requires preheat, controlled interpass temperature and post-weld heat treatment.
Every heat is PMI-verified and its chemistry and mechanical properties are confirmed against the material specification before the flanges are released. Each piece is marked with grade, size, rating and heat number for traceability to its EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate. EN 10204 3.2 certification and inspection by the buyer's nominated third-party agency are available on request, as are PED 2014/68/EU compliance for European projects and IBR certification for Indian boiler applications.
Heat treatment records and hardness results are reported for each heat.
Both have about 9% chromium and 1% molybdenum, but F91 is "modified" with vanadium, niobium and nitrogen, which gives it far higher creep strength. F9 is common in refineries; F91 in power plants.
We make ASTM A182 F9 Flanges from ½" to 24" to ASME B16.5 and from 26" to 60" to ASME B16.47 Series A and B, in Class 150 to 2500, and to EN 1092-1, DIN, BS and JIS standards in PN ratings.
Every order is supplied with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates showing heat chemistry and mechanical properties to ASTM A182 F9. EN 10204 3.2 certification and inspection by your nominated third-party agency are available on request.
