Stainless Steel Flange

Stainless Steel Flanges Manufacturer in China

A stainless steel pipe flange is a mechanical connector that joins pipes, valves, pumps, and equipment. Stainless steel flanges are typically circular discs with a central bore and bolt hole pattern. Two components join securely with a gasket between them to create the seal. It creates a secure, leak-tight environment to ensure safe, efficient fluid transport.

Profab stainless steel flanged fittings, unlike a permanent weld, provide a critical access point for cleaning, inspection, maintenance, or modification. This access is indispensable in many industrial environments.

Application of Stainless Steel Pipe Flange

Application of Stainless Steel Pipe Flange

  • Industrial: Used in chemical processing plants, food and beverage manufacturing, and waste treatment facilities for corrosion-resistant piping systems.
  • Marine: Deployed in shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and marine equipment, where resistance to saltwater and harsh conditions is critical.
  • Aerospace: Utilized in high-performance aircraft systems and engine components where lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant materials are essential.
  • Solar Energy: Employed in mounting structures and piping for solar thermal collectors and power plants, requiring durability and resistance to environmental elements.

Primary Design Feature

Connection Method

Ideal Application

Pressure Suitability

Trade-Off/Limitation

Weld Neck

Long tapered hub

Butt weld

High-pressure, critical systems (oil/gas, power generation)

High (Classes 150-2500)

Higher cost, complex installation, requires skilled welding

Slip-On

Slides over pipe end

Two fillet welds

Low-pressure systems (HVAC, water treatment)

Low to medium

Lower strength, not suitable for critical applications with high stress

Blind

Solid disc, no bore

Bolted

Sealing the end of a pipeline

All classes

Primarily for system termination or isolation, not for flow

Threaded

Internal threads

Screwed onto pipe threads

Low-pressure, non-welded systems (hazardous environments)

Low

Limited to low pressure, not ideal for high-stress applications

Socket Weld

Counterbore for pipe insertion

Fillet weld

Small-diameter, high-pressure pipes with limited space

High

Less total space required, but fluid must not be corrosive

Lap Joint

Two-part design with a stub end

Bolted

Systems requiring frequent disassembly (food/beverage)

Low to medium

Higher cost than slip-on, but offers flexibility and ease of assembly

Orifice

Machined pressure taps

Butt weld, threaded, or slip-on

Flow measurement (oil/gas, chemical processing)

Varies by design

Specialized purpose, used only for flow metering applications

Frequently Asked Questions...

How to choose your ss flanges?
  1. Corrosion Resistance: The primary consideration is the nature of the fluid medium. The material must be able to withstand the specific corrosive agents present, such as acids, alkalis, or chlorides.
  2. Pressure and Temperature Requirements: The operational conditions directly determine the required mechanical strength and heat resistance. High-temperature applications, for example, may necessitate an H-grade material to prevent warping and system compromise.
  3. Weldability: The type of flange and installation method must be considered. For applications with numerous welded joints, the superior weldability of L-grades may be necessary to ensure long-term structural integrity.

While both are highly corrosion-resistant, our 316L flanges contain molybdenum, making them superior for applications in highly acidic or chloride-rich environments, such as marine and chemical processing.
