Stainless Steel UNS S30400 Socket Weld Flanges also offer higher creep, rupture stress and tensile strength at elevated temperatures, excellent corrosion resistance and strength properties, making them ideal for manufacturing or forming applications.
Stainless steel 304 lap flanges are ideal for applications that require better corrosion resistance than Type 316 with good high temperature strength. The stainless steel 304 ring joint style flange is a low carbon version and is immune to sensitization. Therefore, stainless steel 304 eyeglass blind flanges are very frequently used for heavy duty welded components. Stainless steel 304 Nippolet flanges are considered resistant to pitting corrosion in chloride drinking water at ambient temperature, degrading at 60 degrees Celsius.
Stainless steel 304 flanges are widely used in petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, bulk liquid transportation, chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, textile and other industries.
This specification includes flanges for pressure vessel grade applications. The material has good strength and general corrosion resistance, high operating temperature. The minimum yield strength of 304 stainless steel flange is 215MPa, and the minimum tensile strength is 505MPa.
The material can withstand temperatures up to 870 degrees Celsius. There are different types of flanges such as SS 304 slip flange for precision applications of seamless pipes. Flanges are available in nominal bore diameters from ?” to 48″. There are also different pressure classes in A182 F304 flanges, ranging from 150 to 2500, also known as pressure numbers. Pressure values vary from PN6 to PN64.
