Stainless steel flange is a type of pipeline connection component mainly used to provide a sealed and detachable or permanent connection between two or more pipelines. It usually has a disc-shaped structure, with one end having a through-hole with an inner diameter that matches the pipeline to be connected, and the other end having multiple bolt holes. The flanges are tightly fixed together through the use of bolts and gaskets, thereby achieving reliable connection and sealing of the pipeline system.
Stainless steel flanges come in various types, including flat welding flanges, butt welding flanges, socket welding flanges, loose fitting flanges, etc. These types are designed according to different application environments and pressure levels. In addition, stainless steel flanges are widely used in pipeline systems in many industries, such as chemical industry, petroleum, pharmaceutical, food processing, shipbuilding, and electric power, mainly due to their excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties.
The material of stainless steel flanges is usually 304 stainless steel or 316L stainless steel, which have good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties and are suitable for various industrial environments. By tightening bolts, the pipeline is kept sealed to prevent fluid/gas leakage and ensure the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system.
