316/316L – Superior corrosion resistance, marine environments
321 – Stabilized for high-temperature service
347 – Excellent intergranular corrosion resistance
Duplex – High strength, excellent stress corrosion resistance

Pressure-Temperature Ratings

Always select flanges based on:

Maximum operating pressure

最高工作温度

Fluid characteristics

Environmental conditions

Applicable codes and standards

Industry-Specific Recommendations

Oil & Gas

Weld neck flanges for critical lines

High-grade materials (316, duplex)

Full compliance with API standards

化学加工

Proper gasket selection

Regular inspection schedules

餐饮

304/316 sanitary finishes

Easy-clean designs

Compliance with FDA requirements

海洋应用

316L for saltwater resistance

Proper coating systems

Cathodic protection considerations

结论

Selecting the right flange type ensures optimal performance, safety, and cost-effectiveness. Consider pressure, temperature, fluid type, installation requirements, and maintenance needs when making your selection. Working with an experienced flange manufacturer can help you choose the best solution for your specific application.
