| What does "SORF" stand for in flange terminology? |
SORF stands for Slip-On Raised Face. It indicates the method of attachment (slipping on) and the sealing face type (raised). |
| Are you an SS 304 SORF Flanges Supplier in Mumbai with ready stock? |
Yes, we maintain a large inventory of standard SS 304 flanges in Mumbai to ensure rapid delivery throughout Maharashtra. |
| What is the difference between SS 304 and SS 316 SORF flanges? |
SS 304 is a general-purpose grade suitable for most environments, while SS 316 contains molybdenum for higher resistance to chlorides and marine corrosion. |
| How is a SORF flange installed? |
The flange is slipped over the pipe, and then two fillet welds are applied: one on the outside of the flange hub and one on the inside near the face. |
| Can SS 304 flanges be used for high-pressure applications? |
While they are available in higher pressure classes, SORF flanges are typically recommended for low-to-medium pressure applications due to lower fatigue strength compared to weld neck flanges. |
| Do you provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC)? |
Yes, we provide full traceability and Mill Test Certificates as per EN 10204 3.1 with all our SS 304 flange supplies. |
| What sizes of SORF flanges do you manufacture? |
We manufacture flanges ranging from small bore (1/2") up to large diameter pipes (24" and above) to suit diverse project needs. |
| Is the internal weld necessary for a SORF flange? |
Yes, welding both the inside and outside is standard practice to prevent leakage and ensure the structural integrity of the joint. |
