Duplex steel flange protectors is important

As a manufacturer and supplier of high-performance metallic gaskets for critical applications in the oil, gas and chemical industries, it’s important to protect these critical components under operational conditions by using flanges.

Flange protectors are designed to protect studs and gaskets on raised face and ring type joint flanges from atmospheric corrosion encountered in chemical plants, refineries, gas plants, offshore platforms, onshore oil fields, ships, paper mills and underground pipelines. Flange protectors are made from stainless steel with a bonded, closed-cell neoprene sponge liner, and stainless grease fittings by duplex steel fittings manufacturers. Packed with Corrosion Inhibitor Grease these bands protect against build-ups from corrosive and salt environments and flanges remain safe from hazardous, unsightly corrosion that can cause leakage, failure, or even shutdown of equipment.

• Cost-effective

• Reduces corrosion

• Fits in minutes without splitting the flange

• Re-usable

• Available for all flange sizes

• Standard materials suitable for up to 120°C

Standard stainless flange protectors are a stock item available for immediate dispatch. The product can also be manufactured by duplex steel flange supplies to order in a wider range of alternative materials to suit specific application requirements.

Flange insulation

The transfer of volatile fluids through pipeline systems can create explosive conditions, which could be ignited by stray electrical currents, either from cathodic protection systems or the phenomenon known as 'eddy currents'. This potentially disastrous situation can be minimized or eliminated through the installation of appropriate flange insulation sets at strategic points. stainless steel forged flanges Wholesale Even when there is no risk of explosion, contact between dissimilar metals at a flange joint will result in accelerated corrosion of the weaker material due to galvanic corrosion.
