The ASME/ANSI B16.5 Slip-On (SO) flange is a versatile and cost-effective flange designed to slide over the pipe and be welded in place. It is suitable for lower-pressure applications and is widely used in various industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, chemical processing, and general piping systems. Its simple design and ease of installation make it a popular choice for non-critical applications.
Material Specifications:
Slip-On flanges are available in a range of materials to meet different operational requirements:
- Carbon Steel: ASTM A105, A350 LF2
- Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304, F316, F321
- Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11, F22
- Nickel Alloys: Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy
- Duplex Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F51, F53
The material selection ensures the flange’s performance in various environments, including corrosive and high-temperature conditions.
คุณสมบัติเด่น:
- Simple Design: Slides over the pipe for easy positioning and welding.
