ASTM A312 TP 316 Stainless Steel Flange
TP316 stainless steel flange is a pipeline material widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, pharmaceutical, and other fields. It has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Flange is a part that connects pipes and is connected to the pipe end. There are holes on the flange, and bolts connect the two flanges tightly. Gaskets are used to seal between flanges. Flanges are divided into threaded flanges and welded flanges. Generally, they are made of stainless steel, so they are also called stainless steel flanges.
Characteristics Of TP316L ASTM A312 TP 316 Stainless Steel Flange
TP316 stainless steel flange is a low-carbon, high-purity material with corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Its characteristics are as follows:
