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 B16.5 slip flanges are a quality and safety standard trusted by various industries. These standard flanges are used in various industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, fire water lines and more.
ASTM A182 F304 slip flange is another commonly used flange, stainless steel containing chromium and nickel. 18% chrome and 8% nickel make these flanges more durable. The stainless steel 316L slip flange has added molybdenum for increased resistance to general corrosion and chloride ion solutions.
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.
