We Also Manufacture In Duplex And Super Duplex

October 26th, 2009

We realise that not all of our clients are exactly the same and that they might have had to create unique solutions for some unique problems. We are proud to say that we can be a helping hand when those unique problems appear by manufacturing flanges and pipe fittings specifically to your requirements.

We use a wide variety of metals including stainless steels and exotic alloys. We have also introduced new ranges made from duplex stainless steel and super duplex stainless steels. These are great for the petro-chemical industry field as duplex stainless steel and super duplex stainless steel have much better anti corrosion qualities than other stainless steels.

Duplex stainless steel and super duplex stainless steel have a much higher alloy content than normal stainless steels which makes it much stronger and less affected by corrosion and age. Basically the metal is a type of stainless steel with austenite and ferrite as an addition. It is also from there that the term duplex comes, as it is a combination of the austenite and ferrite that gives it its ‘duplex’ qualities.

Duplex stainless steel and super duplex stainless steel are much cheaper to manufacture, which in turn means that it is much more cost effective for you to use. The fact that it is also a stronger material that withstands corrosion better also means that less is needed in the manufacturing process. The pipes, flanges or fittings can be thinner and smaller than before as these will provide the same effect as the thicker and bigger ones, such as blind flanges and weld neck flanges.
