Forged Steel Flange

A182 F316‌ lap joint flange uses flanges, steel rings, etc. to put the flange on the pipe end, so that the flange can move on the pipe end. The steel ring or flange is used as a sealing surface, and the flange is used to press them tightly.

A234 WPB blind flange is a type of flange widely used in pipeline systems. A234 is the standard number of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and WPB indicates that this material is a carbon steel pipeline component for medium and low temperatures.

Stainless steel lap joint flange is a flange connection component, which consists of a flange, a flanged short section or a butt welding ring. Among them, the flange is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance and other properties.

The spectacle blind flange is named because its shape resembles the number “8”. One end is a blind and the other end is an iron ring. However, the diameter of the throttling ring is the same as the diameter of the pipe and does not play a throttling role. This design makes the spectacle blind flange uniquely flexible and practical in the pipeline system.

Class 150 F316 slip on flange is a common pipe connection element, mainly made of stainless steel material, through slip on and pipe or other flanges are connected. slip on flange is generally composed of flange plate, bolt hole and sealing surface.

Stainless steel socket flanges are installed during pipeline construction and connected to another pipeline through bolts to achieve a tight connection of the pipeline.

ASME B16. 5 is limited to flanges and flanged fittings made from cast or forged materials, and blind flanges and certain reducing flanges made from cast, forged, or plate materials. Also included in this Standard are requirements and recommendations regarding flange bolting, flange gaskets, and flange joints.

ASME B 16.5 2 inch socket weld (SW) flanges are used for small size and high pressure pipe systems.Stainless steel flanges are more expensive than carbon steel flanges because of the better functions.The pressures could be chosen:CL150,CL300,CL600,CL900,CL1500,CL2500.

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.

There are varies advantages of stainless steel flange:
Resistant to corrosion and staining
Low maintenance
Bright familiar luster
Steel Strength

Slip on flange can be made by forging, steel cutting, casting and etc. Among these manufacturing types, the forging type gains the best quality and also the most common use.

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 .

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.

An assembly with limited space may be an instance in which a socket weld is selected, provided the pressure class is comparatively low and the fluid is not corrosive or for extremely high temperature service.

Blind flanges are used to seal the end of piping systems or pressure vessel openings.

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

ASME B16. 5 pipe flanges: Weld Neck Flange ( WN),Slip-on Flange (SO), Threaded Flange (THD),Socket Weld Flange (SW),Blind Flange (BL),Lap Joint Flange (LAPJ),Plate flange (PL)

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.However, customers should bear in mind that this initial cost saving may be diminished by the additional cost of the two fillet welds required for proper installation.

There are various material grade for ASTM A182 stainless steel flange: F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.

ASME B16.5 forged flanges are high pressure flansges inculding pressures 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB,2500LB.SS316 CL300 flanges is a kind of stainless steel CL300 flanges.Other popular grades of stainless steel are SS316L,SS304/304L.
