Stainless Steel RF Plate Flange

Stainless steel flat flanges are characterized by their flat face and evenly spaced bolt holes around the perimeter. These bolt holes allow for secure attachment to pipes, valves, and other equipment within the piping system. The flat face ensures a smooth surface contact between mating flanges, promoting effective sealing when gaskets are used.

Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion, making flat flanges suitable for environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or extreme temperatures is common.

Strength and Durability: They are robust and capable of withstanding high pressure and temperature conditions, ensuring long-term reliability.

Versatility: Available in various sizes and pressure ratings, stainless steel flat flanges can accommodate different pipe diameters and system requirements.

Ease of Installation: The design of flat flanges simplifies installation and maintenance procedures, reducing downtime and operational costs.

Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of piping materials and components, facilitating integration into existing or new piping systems.

Stainless steel flat flanges are classified based on standards such as ANSI, ASME, DIN, and BS. Common types include:

Weld Neck Flanges: Designed for high-pressure applications, providing reinforcement at the joint.

Slip-On Flanges: Easy to align and weld, suitable for low-pressure applications.

Socket Weld Flanges: Ideal for smaller sizes and high-pressure systems where welding directly to the pipe is preferred.

Threaded Flanges: Used with pipes that have external threads, suitable for low-pressure and non-critical applications.
