Understanding stainless steel flanges: characteristics, classification and application range

Understanding stainless steel flanges: characteristics, classification and application range

Stainless steel flange is a flange used to connect pipes and pipe fittings. Due to its good corrosion resistance, it is widely used in the chemical industry, oil and gas, water treatment, food and beverage and other industries. This article will focus on the characteristics, classification and application range of stainless steel flanges, hoping to provide you with useful information.

First, the characteristics of stainless steel flange

1. The main feature of the stainless steel flange is good corrosion resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and can maintain a bright surface for a long time.
2. The stainless steel flange has high strength and can withstand great pressure, so it is safer to use in a high-pressure working environment.
3. The stainless steel flange is easy to process and can meet the needs of different shapes and sizes.
4. The stainless steel flange has good sealing performance and can effectively prevent leakage.

Second, the classification of stainless steel flanges

1. Classified according to production standards: international standard flanges, American standard flanges, German standard flanges, Japanese standard flanges, etc.
2. Classified by connection method: butt welding flange, threaded flange, flange socket, etc.
3. Classified by structure: flat welding flange, flange cover, blind plate, etc.

3. Application scope of stainless steel flange

1. Chemical industry: Stainless steel flanges are widely used in the manufacture of chemical equipment because they can work in extreme temperatures and acid-base environments.
2. Oil and gas industry: Stainless steel flanges can withstand high pressure and high temperature, so they are widely used in oil and gas pipelines.
3. Water treatment industry: Stainless steel flange pipes are used to ensure the safety and sanitation of water quality.
4. Food and beverage industry: The food industry has very high hygiene requirements. The excellent corrosion resistance and safety performance of stainless steel flanges make them the best choice for food transportation pipelines.

In short, due to its strong corrosion resistance and firm structure, stainless steel flanges have become a widely used accessory in all walks of life. If you want to know more about stainless steel flanges, please contact our factory and look forward to cooperating with you!
