Advanced Forging & CNC Machining Infrastructure

 

Controlled Forging Process

 

Optimal Grain Flow Alignment: We utilize closed-die and precision ring rolling to refine the austenitic grain structure. This achieves superior fatigue resistance and eliminates internal voids or defects.

 

High Forging Ratio: Ensures uniform density and isotropic mechanical properties across heavy-wall or large-diameter industrial flanges.

CNC Precision Machining & Sealing Surface Finish

 

Exact Tolerances: Continuous machining on multi-axis CNC lathes guarantees perfect concentricity, bolt-hole alignment, and strict adherence to ASME/EN dimensional tolerances.

 

Phonographic Serrated Finish: For Raised Face (RF) flanges, we strictly control the surface roughness to maximize gasket gripping and prevent fluid micro-leakage.

 

Solution Annealing & Heat TreatmentCarbide Dissolution: All austenitic and duplex grades undergo water-quenched solution annealing to dissolve chromium carbides back into the matrix. This eliminates internal stresses and restores maximum localized corrosion resistance.

 

Flange Facing Options
 

Raised Face (RF)
The most commonly used flange facing for industrial piping systems. The raised sealing surface concentrates gasket pressure, providing reliable sealing in medium- and high-pressure applications.

 

Flat Face (FF)
Designed for low-pressure systems and cast iron equipment where even gasket compression across the entire flange face is required.

 

Ring Type Joint (RTJ)
RTJ flanges feature a precision-machined groove for metallic ring gaskets. They are widely used in high-pressure and high-temperature environments such as refineries and offshore platforms.

 

Tongue & Groove (T&G)
This design provides precise gasket positioning and improved sealing stability, making it suitable for demanding operating conditions.

 

Male & Female (M&F)
The matching raised and recessed faces ensure accurate alignment and protect the gasket during installation, making them ideal for critical service applications.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

 

Performed on high-pressure flanges (Class 600 and above) to detect subsurface laminations, cracks, or inclusions.

Dye Penetrant Testing (PT)

Dimensional & Geometry Verification

 

Vernier calipers, micrometers, and thread gauges confirm all OD, ID, thickness, and bolt-circle metrics.

 

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel?

A: 316L is a low-carbon version of 316 stainless steel. Its lower carbon content minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, thus reducing the risk of intergranular corrosion. 316L should be chosen in the following situations: when a large amount of welding is required, post-weld heat treatment is impractical, and the system operates in a corrosive environment.

Q: When should Weld Neck Flanges be used instead of Slip On Flanges?

A: Weld Neck Flanges are recommended for: High-pressure piping、High-temperature service、Cyclic loading and Critical process systems. Their tapered hub reduces stress concentration and improves fatigue resistance. Slip On Flanges are generally selected for low- and medium-pressure systems where installation simplicity and lower fabrication costs are priorities.

Q: Why is Positive Material Identification (PMI) important?

A: PMI verifies that the chemical composition of a flange matches the specified material grade. This inspection helps prevent material mix-ups and ensures compliance with project specifications.

Q: What is EN 10204 3.1 certification?

A: EN 10204 Type 3.1 is an internationally recognized material inspection certificate. It confirms that the supplied product has been manufactured according to the specified standards and that the test results are verified by the manufacturer's authorized inspection representative.
