Stainless steel flange features？

Stainless steel flange is a pipe connection component made of stainless steel material, its main function is to provide a sealed and removable or permanent connection between two or more pipes. The characteristics of stainless steel flanges can be summarized as follows:

First, excellent corrosion resistance

Resistance to chemical erosion: Stainless steel flange has excellent corrosion resistance, can resist the erosion of most chemical media, including vapor, steam, water and other weak corrosive media, as well as acid, alkali, salt and other strengthening substances. This makes stainless steel flanges excellent in chemical, petroleum, deep-sea treatment and other environments.

Surface protective film: The surface of the stainless steel flange is passivated by an oxidizer to form a hard and dense chromium oxide protective film, which can effectively prevent further surface oxidation reactions.

Second, high strength and durability

Withstand high pressure: Stainless steel flanges are characterized by high strength and can withstand high toughness pressure mechanical loads without deformation or damage. This makes stainless steel flanges excellent in industrial applications such as underground pipes and offshore platforms where long-term stability and reliability are required.

Durable: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and strength, stainless steel flanges generally have a long service life, reducing the frequency of replacement and repair.

Third, good sealing performance

Sealing structure: Stainless steel flanges are sealed by bolts and gaskets, and the gasket material can be selected according to the use environment and pressure level to ensure good sealing performance.

Prevent leakage: The tight connection structure of the stainless steel flange can effectively prevent the leakage of fluid or gas to ensure the safety and stability of the pipeline system.

Fourth, easy to install and disassemble

Easy installation: Stainless steel flanges are mounted with bolts and seals, making the installation and removal process simple and fast.

Easy maintenance: Due to the ease of disassembly and installation, stainless steel flanges are more convenient for pipe system maintenance and overhaul.

Fifth, standardization and serialization design

Standardized production: Stainless steel flanges are produced, inspected and used in accordance with international or regional standards such as ASME B16.5 and EN 1092-1, ensuring the interchangeability and versatility of the product.

Series selection: Stainless steel flanges have a variety of types and specifications, such as flat welding flanges, butt welding flanges, socket welding flanges, etc., can be selected according to the actual use environment and pressure level.

Sixth, a wide range of applications

Chemical production: In various fields of chemical production, stainless steel flanges are widely used in connecting containers, pipelines, pipeline rotary assembly and various process pipelines to ensure the quality, stability and safety of production.

Aerospace: In the aerospace sector, stainless steel flanges can be used to connect conduits and connecting structures and play an important role in aerodynamic tests.

Military defense: In the military field, stainless steel flanges are widely used in connection and joint parts on various ships, aircraft, tanks and other devices to ensure the stability and safety of equipment.

In summary, stainless steel flanges play an important role in the connection of pipeline systems with their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and durability, good sealing performance, easy installation and disassembly, and standardized and serialized design.
