For ASTM A182 weld neck flange, different grades have different yield strength values. Generally speaking, the yield strength of A182 is between 205 – 450MPa (depending on the different heat treatment states). This means that when the stress on the material reaches this value, the material will begin to undergo irreversible plastic deformation.
