Stainless steel Flange

Flanges are specialized stainless rolled metal components, typically in the form of flat rings. They serve multiple functions in pipelines, such as sealing pipe joints, connecting pipelines to fittings, linking pipe structures to devices, machinery, and tanks. Stainless flanges are attached to pipelines through welding or secured using pins or bolts. The method of attachment can be collared (butt welding) or flat, blind, or threaded (the latter being rare). Stainless flanges are usually used in pairs.

The production process for stainless flanges is relatively straightforward. They are typically manufactured from alloy or carbon steel through forging and pressing methods, followed by additional machining on a lathe. A more cost-effective method involves casting followed by mechanical processing. Stainless flanges are designed to operate at pressures of approximately 10-16 atmospheres.

Both flat and collared stainless flanges find use in constructing pipelines, tanks, pipe fittings, devices, nozzles, and more. They have widespread applications in industries such as oil refining, gas, chemicals, and energy.

Given the frequent exposure to extreme temperatures or the movement of substances within pipelines, stainless flanges are well-suited for use in such structures.
