ASME Flanges

Manufacturing of forged flanges up to 14 inches in size with complete traceability and a rigorous Quality Assurance Program, primarily serving commercial nuclear and power generation applications requiring ASME compliance.

Special Forgings

Section III special forgings in 316-L Stainless Steel crafted to stringent standards under Mil I 45208, NCA 3800, and Mil Q9858, ensuring precision and reliability for critical pressure-boundary applications.

Manways

Forged manway components engineered for pressure vessel access applications across nuclear, power generation, and chemical processing industries, built to dimensional and material specifications your project demands.

Upset Forgings & Rings

Production of upset forgings, rings, and cylinders up to 26 inches in diameter and 1,500 lbs per piece across nearly all material grades, suitable for pressure vessel connection hardware.

Heat Treatment

In-house normalizing heat treatment that relieves internal stresses and refines grain structure in forged flanges and pressure vessel components, producing consistent mechanical properties for demanding service environments.

Rough Machining

Post-forging rough machining services that bring flange and pressure vessel components to near-net shape, reducing lead times and eliminating the need for a separate machining vendor.

Full Traceability Guaranteed

Forged ASME Flanges Built for Critical Pressure Applications

Pressure vessel connections leave no room for compromise. MTS Forge produces ASME-compliant forged flanges up to 14 inches that meet the rigorous quality and traceability requirements of the commercial nuclear, power generation, and chemical processing sectors.
