ASTM SA694 F65 Branch Flanges Shipped to Indonesia
Haihao Group recently completed an order of ASTM SA694 F65 branch flange products for a customer in Indonesia. The shipment includes two sizes, 4-inch and 2-inch, both designed with a 900# raised face, SCH 160 wall specification and an 8-inch height.
The order is manufactured according to ASME B16.5 and uses ASTM SA694 F65 material. The combination of high-pressure rating, heavy wall specification and F65 material makes these branch flange components suitable for demanding piping systems where connection strength and dimensional consistency are important.
Order Details
The Indonesian order consists of two ASTM SA694 F65 branch flange sizes. Both products share the same pressure class, wall specification, height and standard, with the nominal size being the main difference.
F65 Material for High-Pressure Piping
ASTM SA694 F65 is a high-strength carbon steel grade used for forgings intended for high-pressure transmission and piping applications. For this order, the material specification is combined with a 900# pressure class, giving the finished components a specification suited to high-pressure piping requirements.
Material selection becomes particularly important when branch connections are incorporated into a pipeline. The component needs to maintain dimensional compatibility with the connected pipe while providing the required mechanical strength at the connection point.
For procurement teams looking for an F65 forged flange, confirming the material grade together with the applicable flange standard is essential. In this order, the material and dimensional requirements are clearly defined as ASTM SA694 F65 and ASME B16.5.

900# RF and SCH 160 Configuration
Both products in the shipment are specified as 900# RF branch flange components with a SCH 160 wall specification.
The raised face (RF) configuration provides the specified flange facing for bolted connection and gasket installation. Meanwhile, SCH 160 identifies the heavy-wall pipe dimension associated with the branch connection.
The combination of 900# rating and SCH 160 is an important part of this order rather than simply a size designation. Customers purchasing a SCH 160 branch flange need to confirm the nominal size, pressure class, facing type, material and applicable dimensional standard together.
For the Indonesian project, the 4-inch and 2-inch sizes follow the same technical configuration, allowing the two sizes to be incorporated into the project with consistent specifications.
8-Inch Height for Branch Connection Layout
Another defined parameter in this order is the 8-inch height.
Branch components are often installed where available space, connection orientation and pipeline layout need to be considered during engineering and fabrication. Maintaining the specified height helps ensure that the supplied component corresponds with the customer’s design requirements.
For this shipment, both the 4-inch and 2-inch ASTM SA694 F65 branch flange products have an 8-inch height. Keeping this dimension consistent across the two sizes provides a clear basis for inspection and installation planning.
ASME B16.5 Standard
The products are specified to ASME B16.5, which is widely used for pipe flanges and flanged fittings within the applicable size and pressure-class range.
For a ASME B16.5 branch flange, dimensional details such as pressure class, flange facing and connection dimensions need to correspond with the project specification. In this Indonesian order, the 900# class and RF facing are clearly identified together with the F65 material.
Two Sizes, One Consistent Specification
Although the order contains only two pieces of nominal size configurations, the technical requirements are quite specific:
- 4″ × SCH 160 × 900# RF × 8″ height
- 2″ × SCH 160 × 900# RF × 8″ height
- Material: ASTM SA694 F65
- Standard: ASME B16.5
The same material, pressure class, wall specification, facing and height are maintained across both sizes. This gives the customer a straightforward specification for purchasing, inspection and project documentation.
