Durability |
Compared to cast stainless products, hot rolled
stainless steel plate has a superior grain structure and is virtually
free of non-metallic inclusions. While chemically identical, plate
products offer enhanced mechanical properties which give them increased
durability and corrosion resistance. Comparing favorably to the
corrosion properties of forged products in low pressure applications,
plate flanges are less expensive to produce in small lots. They
offer a predictable service life and fewer field repairs to enhance
the safety and reliability of your finished product. |
State-of-the-art production facilities allow us
to ship your plate flange requirements in record time.
Customize flanges to your exact requirements with
machining details including, raised face, bevel, o-ring groove
or gasket surfaces. |

Delivery |
Fast delivery on flange products is the rule rather
than the exception. For tight delivery requirements, consider our
priority delivery options. |
|
Standards |
Plate flanges are a widely accepted and cost effective
alternative to forged or cast flanges in low pressure applications.
Over the years, a number of standards have been applied to the
production of stainless steel plate flanges: AWWA C207-97
ASME/ANSI B16.1-1989
- Class 25, 125, 250 and 800
ASME/ANSI B16.5-1996
