In industry, alloy steel flanges form a vital connecting link for piping, valves and other equipment. They provide an easy point of access for cleaning, inspection, modification, and for necessary repairs. A flanged joint provides a strong seal in a closed system, and is made by bolting together a gasket flanked by two flanges.
In heavy industry, these A182 f11 flanges need to be especially resilient or they can prove to be the weak point in a system. It is important therefore, to ensure that the flanges you are choosing are up to the task.
- Why are stainless steel flanges preferred for industrial use?
- Corrosion is always considered in all metal applications. Oxides, chemicals, and other environmental factors affect metals. Therefore, the choice of Stainless steel forged fittings
should support these factors. Stainless steel is superior to other metal flanges including carbon steel due to its high corrosion resistance.
- Stainless steel is very strong, durable and can withstand great pressure. In contrast, aluminium may be a cheaper option, but it is soft and unreliable under great effort.
- The system or equipment is as strong as the weakest part. Because joints and welds are traditionally weak points, it is recommended that you ensure that metal selection is appropriate for your application.
- Depending on the application, the flange must withstand high temperatures. Ensure that the ASME B16.5 flange of the appropriate grade is free of deformations or deformations that may damage the system.
- Cheap low quality metal flanges may be suitable for certain applications, but if you want your system or equipment to be fully operational, you should consider investing a little more in stainless steel flanges.

Features and main role of stainless steel flanges
Stainless steel flanges main role is to connect the pipe and then effectively maintain the operation of the sealing of the pipe, which to some extent, easy to replace a section of the pipe. Stainless steel flanges in Easy use open check the tube line situation.
Stainless steel flanges is also known as the ASME B16.9 fittings flange, in use, mainly of the pipe and pipe connecting parts in use, mainly connected to the end of the tube. The flange will have holes in the use of the bolt can be used effectively, so that the two tight flanges.
The stainless steel flanges are sealed with a gasket and the flange fittings mainly refer to flanged flanges, which can be made of mold and can also be made of threaded or welded. The flange connection consists of a pair of flanges, a gasket and a number of bolts and nuts.
The gasket is placed in the process of placing the stainless steel flanges between the sealing surfaces and effectively tightens the nut.
Copper Nickel Pipe Fittings connection is easy to use, so that it can withstand relatively large pressure, in the industrial pipe. The use of its flange connection is very wide, the diameter of the pipe is small and lowered pressure, flange connection.
