API 6BX 15K Instrument Flange — small-bore (NPT or Autoclave) port for pressure transmitters, gauges, and temperature probes on flanged wellhead stacks.
The Instrument Flange, API 6BX 15K, Standard Service is a instrument flange (Small-bore instrument tap × API 6BX flange) rated for 15,000 psi working pressure in standard service. Standard service rated for clean hydrocarbon, completion fluid, and water-cut streams.
This product family covers the following stock or short-lead nominal sizes: 1-13/16 in, 2-1/16 in (15K and 20K classes available). Other sizes within the same series and pressure class can be sourced from the OEM mill on a build-to-order basis (8–14 weeks lead). Indus quotes a firm size, pressure class, configuration, and service-class match against your inquiry data sheet — call or RFQ with the line specification and we will return a complete matched bill of materials.
Working pressure 15,000 psi (15K class), standard rated. Manufactured to API 6A, material class AA. Hydrostatic test at 1.5× shell pressure on every unit. Mill test reports per EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 supplied with each shipment.
This product is supplied as a recognised matched-pressure interchange for the following OEM standards and product lines (no implied authorised-distributor relationship — supplied by Indus Hydraulics):
Confirm on your RFQ: (a) exact nominal size and bore ID, (b) line working pressure and pressure class, (c) end-connection style and gender on each port (M / F, NPT / BW / Integral / RTJ / RF), (d) service class — sour (NACE MR0175) or standard, (e) any additional ports or taps (1/2 in NPT instrument tap, 9/16 in Autoclave, etc.), and (f) required certifications beyond the standard MTR + hydrostatic. Indus quotes ex-Dubai with full traceability.
Pair with matched-pressure hammer unions, swivel joints (Chiksan-style 50 / 100 / 200 series), pup joints, integral crosses / tees / elbows, plug valves, ball valves, and check valves of the same WECO figure class. For wellhead and frac-tree integration, also specify API 6A flanges, wellhead adapters, and ring-joint gaskets in the matched pressure class.
