The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Stainless Steel Flange

Stainless steel flange will not produce corrosion, pitting corrosion, corrosion, not easy to be worn. Stainless steel is one of the strongest metal materials used in construction. Because stainless steel has a good corrosion resistance, so stainless steel flange can make structural components permanently maintain the integrity of the engineering design.The stainless steel flange connection applies a temperature load of 573K on the flange table. No insulation layer is applied on the outer surface of flanges and pipelines. Consider the influence of the air layer of bolt holes, the air layer between upper and lower flanges and the heat transfer on the outer surface of flanges on the temperature distribution of the system.The main design drawback of stainless steel flanges is that they do not guarantee no leakage. This is the design flaw: connections are dynamic, and periodic loads, such as thermal expansion and undulation, can cause movement between flange surfaces, affecting flange function, thereby compromising the integrity of the flange, and ultimately leading to leakage.
