Flat Face Orifice Plate Flange Large Diameter Steel Flanges

The flange is second most used joining method after selding. Flanges are used when joints need dismantling. It provides flexibility for maintenance. Flange connects the pipe with various equipment and valves. Breakup flanges are added in the pipeline system if regular maintenance in required during plant operation.
A flanged joint is composed of three separate and independent although interrdlated components; the flanges, the gaskets, and the bolting; which are assembled by yet another influence, the fitter. Special controls are required in the selection and application of all there elements to attain a joint, which has acceptable leak tightness.
A flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength (as the flange of an iron beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam); for easy attachment/transfer of contact force with another object (as the flange on the end of a pipe, steam cylinder, etc., or on the lens mount of a camera); or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts (as the inside flange of a rail car or tram wheel, which keep the wheels from running off the rails). The term “flange” is also used for a kind of tool used to form flanges.

Stainless steel 304/ 304L flanges may be manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47 with nominal composition of 18Cr-8Ni. The letter ¡°L¡± denotes low-carbon version of the 304 stainless steel. The flanges may be made from forgings, castings, or plates covering various types and classes of ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47 (both Series A and Series B). Stainless steel 304/ 304L flanges of ASME B16.5 are available in Classes 150, 300, 400, 600, 900, 1500, 2500; that of ASME B16.47 Series A are available in Classes 150, 300, 400, 600, 900; that of ASME B16.47 Series B are available in Classes 75, 150, 300, 400, 600, 900.
304L Flange is the most versatile and widely used of all stainless steels. Its chemical composition, mechanical properties, weldability and corrosion/oxidation resistance provide the best all-round performance stainless steel at relatively low cost. It also has excellent low-temperature properties and responds well to hardening by cold working. If the potential for intergranular corrosion in the heat-affected zone exists, 304L is recommended.

    Steel Plate are often used for structural and construction applications, pressure vessels, marine and offshord equipment, and military applications. The grade, elements and parameters of a steel plate are also important in how it is used.
    Steel plates are classified by thickness: thin plate, medium plate, thick plate and extra-thick plate.
    Thin steel plates are steel plates with a thickness between 0.2-4mm produced by hot rolling or cold rolling, and thick steel plates are those with a thickness of more than 4mm
    The general name of the good board.
    Thin steel plate refers to a steel plate with a thickness of not more than 3 mm. The commonly used thin steel plate thickness is 0.5-2MM, which is divided into sheet and coil supply. Thin
    The steel plates are generally B-type steels, cold-rolled or hot-rolled steel plates with steel grades B0-B3. Requirements for thin steel plates: smooth, smooth surface, thick
    The degree of uniformity, allowing a tight iron oxide film, must not have cracks, scarring and other defects. The process is divided into hot rolled sheet steel and cold rolled sheet
    plate. Mainly used in Changlin Dongfeng fans, automobiles, electrical equipment, vehicles, agricultural machinery, containers, steel furniture, etc.
    Thick steel plates refer to steel plates with a thickness greater than millimeters. Thick steel plate is divided into extra-thick steel plate and medium-thick steel plate.
    Medium and heavy steel plates refer to steel plates with a thickness greater than 3 mm and less than 50 mm. Medium and thick steel plates are mainly used in shipbuilding, boilers, bridges
    Armor and high-pressure vessel shells, etc.
    Extra-thick steel plate refers to a steel plate with a thickness of not less than 50 mm. Extra-thick steel plates are mainly used in shipbuilding, boilers, bridges and high-pressure vessel shells
