About Inconel Flanges
Inconel Flanges are well designed and developed in our ultra-advanced production site with the help of pioneering in-house tools and techniques. These flanges are used to make a secure and leak-proof pipe connection. Acclaimed for their strength and durability, these Inconel Flanges are high in demand in the domestic marketplace. The flanges are made up of quality-tested alloyed metal that is resistant to corrosion, rust, and shear forces, therefore, the offered flanges are sure to last for an extended period of time.
Superior Material PropertiesAvailable in Inconel grades 600, 601, 625, 718, and 825, these flanges stand out for their impressive density, hardness (170-250 HB), and processing via forging and precision machining. The alloys retain strength and resist deformation at both subzero and elevated temperatures, ensuring reliable performance throughout their service life.
Exceptional Corrosion and Temperature ResistanceInconel flanges are engineered for harsh environments where chemical resistance is paramount. They are especially resilient against acids, seawater, and high-temperature oxidation. Operational suitability from -196C to +700C makes these flanges a prime choice for manufacturers facing demanding thermal and corrosive challenges.
Versatile Designs and StandardsThe flanges conform to ASME B16.5, ANSI B16.47, and customized requirements, available with a range of face types including RF, FF, and RTJ. They are designed to fit sizes from 1/2 inch to 48 inches (DN15 - DN1200), with multiple end types to meet diverse installation needs for auto, industrial, and process industries.
FAQ's of Inconel Flanges:
Q: How are Inconel flanges typically used in industrial applications?
A: Inconel flanges are commonly used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other components in systems that require high strength and superior resistance to corrosion and temperature extremes. Their primary applications can be found in automotive parts, petrochemical plants, marine environments, and power generation facilities.
Q: What benefits do Inconel flanges offer compared to traditional steel flanges?
A: Inconel flanges provide exceptional corrosion resistance, particularly against aggressive chemicals, acids, and seawater. They maintain mechanical integrity at temperatures ranging from -196C up to +700C, making them more reliable than standard steel flanges in harsh and varying environments.
Q: When should I choose a specific Inconel grade for my flanges?
A: The choice of Inconel grade depends on service environment and operational requirements. For example, Inconel 625 offers superior seawater and acid resistance, while Inconel 718 combines high strength with good weldability. Assess your process conditions and consult with the manufacturer or supplier for optimal selection.
Q: Where are Inconel flanges manufactured and how are they packaged for delivery?
A: Leading manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors in India produce and supply Inconel flanges according to international standards. For secure transportation and to prevent damage, flanges are packaged in wooden cases or palletized, with anti-corrosive coatings for added protection.
Q: What surface finishes and coatings are available for Inconel flanges?
A: Inconel flanges can be finished smooth or sandblasted to meet specific application or aesthetic requirements. Additionally, an anti-corrosive coating is applied to enhance longevity, especially for environments exposed to aggressive chemicals or seawater.
Q: How are the dimensional tolerances of Inconel flanges ensured during manufacturing?
A: Dimensional accuracy is achieved through precision forging and machining, adhering to strict tolerances of 0.1 mm, as defined in ASME B16.5, ANSI B16.47, ASTM B564, and ASME SB564 standards. This guarantees proper fitment and reliable sealing in various pipework systems.
