A flange connects piping and components in a piping system by use of bolted connections and gaskets. Most commonly used flanges are weld neck flange, slip on flange, blind flange, socket weld flange, threaded flange and lap joint flange (RTJ Flange). This type of connection in a pipe flange allows f

Stainless Steel Flanges will not produce corrosion, pitting, rust, and are not easily worn. Stainless steel is one of the highest-strength metal materials for construction. Because stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, it can make structural components permanently maintain the integrity of

Threaded flanges, also sometimes referred to as companion flanges / screw flanges / NPT flanges, contain a female NPT thread in the center for connection to male NPT threaded piping. Threaded flanges are common when creating reducing connections. Other thread styles are available for machining, asid

Process plants designed and constructed to the ASME B31.3 code also rely on the standardization of the components used for piping systems and the method of process plant fabrication and construction. There are numerous standards, many of which are interrelated, and they must be referred and adhered

The Weld Neck Flange is easily recognizable by the hub that gradually tapers from the bolted connection to the pipe. At the Point of Weld on the Weld Neck it is supplied with a specific bore to mate with the attaching pipe or fitting. This connection is made with a full penetration butt weld, this p

All in-service pipelines encounter deterioration due to environmental effects. The deterioration is a time-dependent process which makes the structural integrity of pipelines a time variant characteristic. Advanced mathematical methods which employ probability theory need to be used for time-depende
