| What is the primary use of a Socket Weld Flange? |
They are primarily used for small-bore piping (typically up to 2 inches) in high-pressure systems where a strong, leak-proof joint is required. |
| Are you an SS 316 Socket Weld Flanges Supplier in Mumbai? |
Yes, we are headquartered in Mumbai and supply certified stainless steel flanges to industries across Maharashtra and India. |
| Why is an expansion gap necessary during installation? |
A gap of approximately 1/16 inch (1.6mm) is required between the pipe end and the socket bottom to allow for thermal expansion during welding. |
| What size range do you manufacture? |
We specialize in manufacturing socket weld flanges from 1/2" NB up to 4" NB, covering all standard schedule dimensions. |
| How does SS 316 differ from standard carbon steel? |
SS 316 contains chromium and molybdenum, offering significantly higher resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical attacks than carbon steel. |
| Do you provide Mill Test Certificates? |
Yes, all our products come with Mill Test Certificates (MTC) as per EN 10204 3.1, verifying the chemical composition and mechanical properties. |
| Can these flanges be used in high-temperature applications? |
Yes, SS 316 maintains its strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for steam and hot process fluids. |
| What pressure ratings do you offer? |
We supply flanges in pressure classes ranging from 150# to 1500#, ensuring compatibility with various industrial pressure requirements. |
