Information 

Flange 1/2" Socket Weld, manufactured from 316L stainless steel, pressure class 150 LB, RF facing and SCH40S wall thickness, in accordance with ANSI/ASME B16.5. It is designed for installations requiring high mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and reliable operation under demanding industrial conditions.

Where to Use This Flange?

Flange 1/2" Socket Weld 316L Class 150 RF SCH40S is an ideal choice wherever small-diameter piping systems operate under high pressure and with aggressive media.

Typical applications include:

• steam and steam-gas installations in industrial boiler systems (connections for valves, safety valves, steam pipelines)
• pipelines carrying chemically aggressive media (acids, alkalis, salt solutions) in chemical and petrochemical plants
• marine and offshore installations (pipeline systems on offshore platforms, marine valves and fittings) where corrosion resistance is essential
• heat exchanger systems using aggressive cooling media and elevated pressures

Key Features and Benefits

• Corrosion resistance: 316L stainless steel provides excellent resistance to intergranular corrosion and chloride attack, making it suitable for marine environments and aggressive chemical applications. The low carbon content minimizes the risk of sensitization during welding.
• High-pressure performance: Pressure Class 150 combined with SCH40S wall thickness provides reliable performance in pressure piping systems.
• Leak-tight and durable connection: The socket weld design eliminates the need for pipe beveling and creates a strong, mechanically stable connection. The RF facing simplifies gasket selection and installation (e.g. graphite or PTFE gaskets), ensuring reliable sealing.
