Stainless steel pressed flanges are connection components produced by forming stainless steel material using the pressing method, and they are used to create removable connections in piping systems. While the central opening of the flange provides the connection to the pipe or equipment, the surrounding bolt holes help ensure a safe and practical installation.
Used together with suitable gaskets and fasteners in pipe and equipment connections, stainless steel pressed flanges are preferred in various industrial applications thanks to their corrosion resistance, durability and easy cleanability. The dimensions, bolt hole pattern, material grade and pressure rating of the product are determined according to the field of application.
Material Grades and Properties
Stainless steel pressed flanges can be supplied in different stainless steel grades according to the operating environment and corrosion conditions:
| Grade | Properties |
|---|---|
| AISI 304 / 304L | A stainless steel grade suitable for general-purpose piping systems, food applications and standard industrial systems. |
| AISI 316 / 316L | Provides higher resistance against chemicals, chloride-containing environments and high corrosion risk. |
| Special Stainless Grades | Different stainless steel grades can be offered depending on process conditions and technical specifications. |
