316 stainless steel flanges are an essential part of piping systems and are widely used in a variety of industries due to their corrosion resistance, durability, and high temperature strength. These flanges are made from 316 stainless steel, a common austenitic stainless steel alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in aggressive and corrosive environments.
316 stainless steel flanges play a critical role in ensuring the integrity and functionality of piping systems, especially in industries where corrosion resistance and durability are paramount. Its use in a wide variety of applications highlights the versatility and reliability of 316 stainless steel.
316 stainless steel flanges are a way to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment to plumbing systems. It also provides easy access for cleaning, inspection, and repairs. Flanges are usually welded or screwed. Flange connections are made by bolting two flanges together and placing a gasket between them to ensure a seal.
Stainless steel flange 316 is the standard molybdenum-containing grade, second only to 304 among austenitic stainless steels. Molybdenum gives 316 better overall corrosion resistance properties than grade 304, especially resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride environments. Excellent formability and weldability. In industrial, architectural, and transportation applications, they can be easily broken or rolled into separate pieces. Grade 316 also has excellent welding properties. When welding thin sections, post-weld annealing is not required.
