The foundation of mechanical industry- The Stainless Steel Flanges
There are various instruments and devices that we use every day without even knowing what they mean or what they are. Especially the types of equipment that is used in the mechanical industry, generally people are not aware of the various equipments used or the different components that are required to make the different equipment. There is one component that is widely used that is the stainless steel flanges.
Great Steel and Metals, leading Stainless steel SUS 304 the flange manufacturer in India is providing the details about stainless steel for better understanding of the users.
When two parts of machinery are to be combined flanges are used. It holds the objects in place hence it is a very vital part. It can also be used to provide strength to an object by being an extension of a structure. There are various uses for a stainless steel flange but mainly it is used for connecting pumps, pipes and sheets also for many assorted structures that require midway connecting point.
Stainless steel flanges comes in various types like every other mechanical equipment so as to better suit the needs of different structures and requirements. Some of the types are: • Girth flange: • Lap joints: • Ring joint flange: • Socket weld flanges • Weld neck flanges
Girth flange: these types of flanges are used to join different segments of pressure vessel. There are different sizes and design based on the specification of the vessel which it will be used to connect. Lap joints: These types of flanges can be rotated freely and are usually used for those types of applications that are frequently dismantled regularly. They are welded to the stub end.
Ring joint flange: they are called ring joint flanges because they usually have a raised surface with a ring outlet which is machined into them. They are usually attached to the joints without welding. Socket weld flanges: socket weld flanges have an outer bore which is used to insert the pipe. These flanges are usually used as a shoulder for the pipe to rest on.
Weld neck flanges: weld neck flanges are attached to the neck of the pipe usually. These are welded accordingly to the dimensions of the pipe and have the same thickness as that of the pipe it is going to be connected to. These flanges are usually used for pipes that have high pressure application.
There are many stainless steel flanges available in different sizes and grades. These grades are used to represent the standard attributions that the steel that is used to make the flanges is required to comply with. They affect the performance of the steel used in making the flanges. The flanges are available in various grades and sizes like F 304, 304L, 304H, 309S, 309H, S10S, 310H, 316, 316TI, 316H, 316L, 316LN, etc.
The market is flooded with numerous suppliers that can provide you with stainless steel flanges according to your requirements. Hence it is always advised to conduct a thorough research or study on the supplier, conduct a thorough investigation before choosing your supplier and making your purchase. You can always go on the internet to find numerous manufactures/suppliers online.
