MTS Forge delivers precision-manufactured carbon steel insulation flange kits engineered for demanding industrial, power generation, and pipeline applications. With nearly four decades of metallurgical expertise and in-house forging capabilities, our kits meet rigorous quality and traceability standards—providing reliable corrosion isolation, cathodic protection, and leak-free sealing performance your operations depend on.
From precision forged flanges to full-kit finishing, we deliver traceable, certified carbon steel components for critical applications.
We manufacture carbon steel flanges up to 14 inches via closed die and contour forging processes, ensuring dimensional accuracy, structural integrity, and full production traceability for nuclear, power, and industrial end-uses.
Our closed die forging process shapes carbon steel components to near-net form, minimizing raw material waste and machining costs while delivering consistent mechanical properties suited for high-pressure flange kit applications.
In-house normalizing heat treatment refines the grain structure of forged carbon steel flanges, improving tensile strength, toughness, and machinability to ensure each kit component meets specification under demanding service conditions.
Following forging, our in-house rough machining brings carbon steel flange blanks to near-net dimensions—removing flash and surface irregularities to streamline downstream finishing, reduce lead times, and eliminate the need for a separate machining vendor.
Need a non-standard flange configuration for your insulation kit? Our custom forging capability handles exact-specification components in carbon and alloy steels, backed by our comprehensive Quality Assurance Program with full material traceability.
Precision sawing up to 16-inch OD and electric eye contour burning up to 8 inches thick allow us to prepare carbon steel flange stock with the accuracy required for consistent kit assembly and dimensional compliance.
Carbon steel insulation flange kits from MTS Forge are designed for pipelines, power generation systems, and process facilities where cathodic protection and electrical isolation are non-negotiable. Produced at our Coatesville, PA facility with in-house forging, heat treatment, and machining under certified Quality Assurance Programs, every kit offers consistent dimensional control, verified material traceability, and the mechanical reliability demanded by aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and gas and petroleum sectors.

From forging and heat treatment to rough machining and sawing, all production steps happen under one roof in Coatesville, PA, reducing lead times and handling risk.
Every carbon steel insulation flange kit is manufactured domestically, supporting U.S. supply chain requirements for military, aerospace, and critical infrastructure procurement teams.
The metallurgical minds who built MTS Forge from the ground up.
Co-Founder
Stephen Carr co-founded Manufacturing & Technical Services, Inc. in 1986 alongside Edward Waddell, bringing a strong metallurgical background and deep expertise in forging practices to the company from day one. His foundational knowledge of material behavior under high-pressure forming conditions shaped MTS Forge's approach to producing precision components for the most demanding industries. Under Stephen's leadership, the company built its reputation on quality and service, investing in advanced forging technology and developing a team capable of meeting the rigorous standards required by aerospace, defense, commercial nuclear, and power generation customers. His commitment to excellence and domestic manufacturing continues to define the culture and technical direction of MTS Forge nearly four decades after its founding.
Co-Founder
Edward Waddell co-founded MTS Forge in 1986 with a metallurgical background and comprehensive knowledge of forging processes that has guided the company's technical capabilities for nearly 40 years. Edward's expertise in materials science and forming technology enabled MTS Forge to develop a diverse product portfolio—from closed die forgings and flanges to custom and special forgings—across alloy steels, stainless steels, and high-performance materials. His focus on precision, traceability, and process integrity helped establish the Quality Assurance Programs that allow MTS Forge to serve commercial nuclear, military, and aerospace customers with confidence. Edward's vision of building an American forging company rooted in craftsmanship and innovation remains central to MTS Forge's identity and growth.
A carbon steel flange is a disc-shaped forged or machined component used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment in a piping system. Carbon steel grades such as ASTM A105 are widely specified for their high strength, pressure resistance, and cost-effectiveness in industrial, oil and gas, and power generation applications. They are available in various pressure classes and face types to suit specific system requirements.
