SA182 flange

They also have a smaller bolt circle diameter than Series A flanges. Smaller bolt circle diameter results in less flange movement after installation. Both the A-series and B-series standards define raised face (RF) butt-weld and blind flanges, but only the A-series defines ring joint (RTJ) flanges from classes 300 to 900 in this standard. In terms of price, ASME B16.47 series A flanges are more expensive than ASME B16 47 series B flanges.

Flanges are rounded edges with outwardly projecting flanges or ribs that sometimes create strength at the joint. There are different types of flanges and different material grades are used to produce these flanges.

Flanges can be said to be a method of connecting pipes. Sliding flanges are mainly used for low pressure fluids with minimal leakage risk. Stainless steel sliding flanges are usually used for water pipes, low pressure compressed air, etc.

ASME SA182 SS 317 Flanges high Molybdenum content enhances superior pitting resistance. It is the most corrosion resistant of the 300 Series alloys and possesses the highest tensile and creep strength properties at elevated temperatures.

UNS S32205 Duplex Steel ASME SA182 Butt Weld Flanges are suitable for seawater and power generation equipment because their smooth surfaces can withstand temperatures up to 600¡ãF, while also having excellent flow characteristics.

Duplex steels have high resistance to various types of corrosion. Duplex Steel S31803 is an extremely corrosion-resistant, work-hardenable alloy. Duplex steel S31803 butt weld flanges have good high temperature properties.
