ASME B16.5 Stainless Steel Slip-On Flange ASTM A182 F304 F316 Class 150-2500 Forged Industrial Piping System
Product Overview
The Slip-On Flange is a cost-effective forged stainless steel piping component designed for easy installation and reliable performance. Manufactured from ASTM A182 F304/F316 austenitic stainless steel, these flanges offer excellent corrosion resistance for chemical processing, food and beverage, marine, and pharmaceutical applications.
Key Features
- Premium Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/F316 material provides outstanding corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments
- Easy Installation: Slides over the pipe end and is welded both inside and outside for a secure, leak-proof joint
- Cost-Effective Design: Lower initial cost compared to weld neck flanges with reduced pipe cutting accuracy needed
- Excellent Alignment: The slip-on design allows for easier alignment of bolt holes during assembly
- ASME B16.5 Compliant: Manufactured to precise ASME/ANSI B16.5 dimensional standards
