Product Introduction:

Stainless steel flanges are critical components used to connect pipes, valves and other equipment in various piping systems. They provide a reliable and secure method for joining different sections of a pipeline, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks. Manufactured from high quality stainless steel, these flanges are designed to withstand high pressures and temperatures, making them suitable for demanding environments. They are available in several types including Slip On (SORF), Socket Weld (SWRF), Blind (BLRF), Weld Neck (WNRF), Screwed (SERF), Lapped (LJFF), and Weld Neck Ring Joint (WNRTJ). These flanges are manufactured in a range of sizes with forged flanges available from 1/2" (15 mm) NB to 24" (600 mm) NB and plate flanges ranging from 1/2" (15 mm) NB to 48" (1200 mm) NB.

The production of stainless steel flanges typically involves processes such as forging, machining and welding, ensuring precision and durability. They are available in various sizes and thicknesses, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of piping systems. The dimensions of stainless steel flanges conform to various industry standards such as ANSI B16.5 and BS1560 with pressure classes of 150#, 300#, 600#, 900# and 1500#. They also meet DIN standards such as 2527, 2573, 2576, 2633, 2634,2635 and various ND ratings. Additionally, they comply with BS10 tables D,E,F,H,J and BS4504 tables ND-6, ND-10, ND-16, ND-25 and ND-40. Other standards include IS 6392 tables 5, 11, 17, IS 1538 and MSS-SP44. The surface finish of stainless steel flanges can vary, with options such as polished or rough finishes, depending on the specific requirements of the application.

Stainless steel flanges are produced from high quality materials encompassing ASTM A182 grades such as F 304, F 304L, F 304H, F 309, F 310, F 316, F 316L, F 316 TI, F 317, F 317L, F 321, and F 347. They are also available in plate form according to ASTM A240 specifications for TP 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 317, and 317L. Additionally, stainless steel flanges are often produced in accordance with industry standards, ensuring consistency and reliability in performance. Their resistance to corrosion and oxidation further enhances their longevity, making them a preferred choice in many industrial sectors.

Advantages:

• 1.Excellent corrosion resistance: Stainless steel flanges are highly resistant to rust, corrosion and chemical attack, making them ideal for use in harsh environments and with corrosive fluids.
• 2.Longevity: Their robust construction and resistance to wear ensure a long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• 3.High strength to weight ratio: Stainless steel offers superior strength while remaining relatively lightweight, allowing for easier handling and installation.
• 4.Temperature resistance: These flanges can withstand extreme temperatures both high and low, without losing their structural integrity.
• 5.Hygienic properties: The smooth, non-porous surface of stainless steel makes it easy to clean and sanitize, crucial for applications in food processing, pharmaceuticals and other hygiene sensitive industries.

Applications:

• 1. Oil and Gas Industry: The stainless steel flanges are used in pipelines and equipment to connect various components, ensuring safe and efficient transport of oil and gas.
• 2. Food and Beverage Industry: The utilization of these type of flanges is done in sanitary piping systems to ensure hygiene and compliance with health regulations during food processing and beverage production.
• 3. HVAC Systems:In HVAC systems, these flanges are utilized in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to connect various components, ensuring efficient fluid transport.
• 4. Marine Applications: These flanges are used in shipbuilding and marine environments for connecting piping systems, where resistance to saltwater corrosion is necessary.
