Product Description
API 6A Wellhead Forged Steel Flanges for Sour Gas Service
Product Overview

API 6A wellhead forged steel flanges are engineered for extreme oil and gas wellhead equipment conditions, specifically designed to withstand sour gas service environments where resistance to hydrogen sulfide cracking and high pressure is critical. These flanges are manufactured to API 6A standards as Type 6B flanges with R and RX ring joint faces, and Type 6BX flanges with BX faces for maximum pressure ratings.

For well streams containing hydrogen sulfide, materials are qualified to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 standards, ensuring each API 6A wellhead forged steel flange can be traced back to a tested heat with confirmed hardness and sulfide stress cracking resistance.

Our API 6A wellhead forged steel flanges are manufactured from premium alloy and carbon steels including AISI 4130 and ASTM A105, with comprehensive non-destructive testing coverage including ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing on every component. Ring joint grooves are precision-machined to API 6A tolerances and verified with ring gages, ensuring reliable performance under full well shut-in pressure conditions.

Quality Assurance & Documentation

API 6A wellhead forged steel flanges for sour gas service are released only after complete test package approval. Every component undergoes ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing, ring joint groove verification with correct ring gages, and hardness value checks against sour service limits. Each flange ships with comprehensive documentation including material certificates, NDT reports, and hardness reports, with quality records available for review by wellhead manufacturers and operating companies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between API 6A Type 6B and Type 6BX flanges?
Type 6B flanges use R or RX ring gaskets and are rated up to 5000 psi, while Type 6BX flanges use BX ring gaskets for ratings from 5000 psi up to 15000 psi. The groove dimensions and gasket styles are defined by API 6A.
How do you qualify material for sour gas service?
For sour gas service we supply material qualified to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156, with controlled hardness, proper heat treatment and sulfide stress corrosion cracking test documentation where required by the project.
What testing is performed on each wellhead flange?
Every API 6A wellhead forged steel flange receives ultrasonic testing and magnetic particle testing, and the ring joint groove is verified with a ring gage. Hydrostatic testing is performed as required by the specification.
Can you provide the flange with a full documentation package?
Yes. Each flange ships with material certificates, NDT reports, hardness reports and dimensional inspection reports, and third-party inspection by recognized agencies can be arranged before delivery.
