The top 8 stainless steel flanges used in stainless steel pipes are as follows
Flange with weld neck
These flanges can be easily identified by the protruding neck. Weld-on flanges will match the diameter and bevel of the pipe and are designed to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures.
Blind flange
In piping systems or vessels where periodic inspections are required, these flanges are ideal for sealing vessel openings or non-porous piping systems. Hubless or hubless blind flanges are available. Flanges can easily withstand considerable tension due to internal pressure.
sliding flange
These stainless steel 310 flanges are welded in one place and they are ideal for low pressure applications as they have a larger diameter than the pipe. Since they are welded in one place, they slide easily over the pipe.
Socket weld flange
The chemical processing industry uses these flanges because they are manufactured for small diameter high pressure piping. Internally welded socket weld flanges contribute to increased fatigue strength.
threaded flange
These flanges can meet a variety of applications and can be assembled without welding. Male threaded pipe is suitable for stainless steel threaded flanges which should not be used at excessive pressure or temperature.
Looper Flange
Flanges made of low alloy steel or carbon steel can be used with short end fittings and are a type of slip flange. They are ideal for installation on piping systems that require regular inspection and maintenance, such as low alloy steel or carbon steel piping.
Orifice flange
These steel flanges are used to connect pipelines for metering liquids or gases. The orifice or flow nozzle is inserted into the orifice flange.
Ring joint flange
Flanges with ring joints are used for high pressure and high temperature applications. On blind, slip-on or butt-welding flanges, ring joint flanges have a groove that can be easily squeezed. Flanges help prevent leaks in pipelines that transport media under high pressure and temperature.
