Pipe flanges are an integral part of any industrial liquid or gas system, whether it’s water supplies, sewage works, pharmaceutical plants, oil platforms or gas pipelines. They need to be extremely hard-wearing, impact and corrosion resistant, chemically inert and well engineered, but affordable.
Many industrial flange manufacturers supply flanges in different grades of steel, to prolong life and improve strength and corrosion resistance. However, to maintain a tight budget, higher grade alloys are not always necessary. What is more important is that they do the job.
It is important you choose pipe flanges from a manufacturer or supplier who is used to supplying your industry, and preferably located in your country. You need to know the product meets industrial requirements and will fit your application. You will also need to reorder quickly and, maybe, have an emergency replacement protocol with the company for equipment failure as well. Traceability and batch control are highly important – you need a completely reliable performance every time your product is replaced, and you need to know it’s coming from the same reliable OEM each time.
The chemical industry has a particular need for highly engineered pipe flanges built from quality steels that can withstand pressure, are resistant to corrosion and form solid, dependable seals.
