Stainless Steel Pipe Flange Fittings and flanges

The equal cross is one kind of the pipe cross,  the equal cross means all the 4 ends of the cross are in same diameter.
The reducing cross also is called unequal pipe cross , it is the pipe cross which the four branch ends are not in the same diameters.

What is a Blind Flange,what about its specification and its advantages

Large diameter flat welding flange has less high-pressure suitability compared to its weld neck counterpart. The basic ring style is suitable for the occasion of low pressure. The butt weld category of the flange is known as a weld neck flange. It suits the occasion of high temperature and pressure as defined in the ASME B16.47 code.

Slip on flange, also called SO flange. It’s a kind of flange slides over the pipe with internal design is slightly larger than the pipe. Since the inner diameter of the flange is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe, the SO flange can be directly connected to equipment or pipe by fillet weld at the top and bottom of the flange. It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of the flange.

What is a Weld Neck(WN) Flange and what about its specification and advantages.

C276 flange is a flange made of C276 alloy, which is also called Hastelloy C-276 and plays an important role in many fields such as chemical industry and petroleum.

The spectacle blind , also known as blind flange or plugging plate, is a special component used in pipeline systems. It is widely used in industrial fields, especially in chemical, petroleum, natural gas and other industries.

Stainless steel spectacle blind has better anti-corrosive function than other material of spectacle blinds.ASME B 16.48 is a commonly used standard for spectacle blindThe joint face can be RF (Raised Face), FF (Flat Face), RTJ (Ring Joint),it is depend on the type of flanges.

High pressure flange carbon steel material: ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH

Threaded nipple is a short piece length of pipe or tube. Its size is specified according to the length of this section of pipe and the diameter. It can be with threaded or flat ends. And both ends can be the same or different.
There are two shape : threaded one end (TOE) and threaded both end ( TBE).

ASME B16.5 SW flange is belong to American Standard for forged flanges,this kind of flange are been used all over the word.Forged flanges are high pressure flanges,the commonly used classes are CL 300,CL 600 for forged flanges.Stainless steel flanges always more expensive than other flanges because of the stainless steel has better functions.

Slip on flange is also called SO flange.This flange can slip onto the pipes and welded with the pipes.Shanghai Zhucheng is a forged flanges supplier who supply high quality flanges for years.

Hastelloy C22 slip on flange is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten alloy flange with excellent corrosion resistance. It can perform well in various harsh corrosive environments, such as environments containing strong corrosive media such as chloride ions and sulfate ions.

ASTM A182 F316 is a popular grade for stainless steel in American Standard.Stainless steel fittings are popular because of the an-ti corrosive function.Stainless steel pipe fittings can used over 50 years.

Slip ons in higher pressure classes are often made with the height of a lap joint for a better connection. If the hub height is not a concern and a lap joint is not readily available, customers will sometimes opt for a slip on made to a lap joint style with a machined hub.

Carbon steel flange, that is, the body material is carbon steel plate or end flange connection. The flanges containing carbon steel are called carbon steel flanges. Common materials are carbon steel ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH. Besides carbon steel flanges, we also supply alloy steel flanges and stainless steel flanges .

Stainless steel lap joint flange is always used with lap joint stub end (a kind of butt welded fitting).A182 F304 forged flanges have great anti-corrosive function,flanges in this material have longer using years than other materials.

ASTM A182 weld neck Flanges are made up of different stainless steel materials. There are different grades to the stainless steel depending on the material composition and the mechanical properties vary.

What is a weld neck flange and its specification?

The bore of the slip on will give ample amount of space for the matching pipe. This allows for enough working space for the welder and fabricator to make the connection.Slip-On flanges are commonly lower in price than weld-neck flange.

Alloy 625 flanges are connections made of this material and are used in piping systems to ensure reliability and durability in extreme environments.

All flanges are round disks with holes for bolts around the rim, but the commonalities end there. a projecting flat rim used for strengthening or attachment.

The main structural feature of the stainless steel lap joint flange is the loose connection. It consists of a flange body, a flange nipple and connecting bolts. The flange body and the flange nipple are loose fitting, and this structure allows the pipeline to expand and contract freely within a certain range.

This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. The connection with the pipe is done with 1 fillet weld, at the outside of the flange. But before welding, a space must be created between flange or fitting and pipe.

Carbon Steel: ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH
Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92
Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.
Duplex Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F51, F53, F44

It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of flange, as the flange inner diameter is little bigger than the pipe’s outer diameter, pipe and flange could be connected by lap welding at the top and bottom of the flange.

The slip-on flange is a simple and excellent alternative to a weld neck as it does not have a weld bevel, and therefore allows the pipe to be adjusted in length relative to its position of the flange. The bore of the slip on will give ample amount of space for the matching pipe.

Socket Weld Flange contain a shoulder on the flange inside that acts as a guide to set the depth at which the pipe is welded to the flange.
