What are Stainless Steel 904L Flanges?
Stainless Steel 904L Flanges are highly durable and corrosion-resistant. They are manufactured from high alloy materials containing copper, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, and sulfur. These materials are well-suited for several industrial applications.
In addition, they are also suitable for marine and seawater applications. Aside from this, they can be used in various chemical, medical and pharmaceutical industries.
Characteristics of Stainless Steel 904L Flanges
SS 904L Flanges are available in various forms, shapes, and sizes. These include slip-on flanges, plate flanges, blind flanges, ring-type joint flanges, socket weld flanges, long weld neck flanges, and flat face flanges.
All these types help connect seamless pipes and various other industrial applications. However, the majority of these flanges are screwed flanges. Depending on the flange type, they are usually manufactured with a gasket to provide a permanent seal between the pipes.
Stainless Steel 904L Flanges offer good resistance to crevice corrosion, chloride stress corrosion, and pitting corrosion. In addition, they have excellent weldability, formability, and toughness. Moreover, their corrosion resistance is considered to be superior to 316L. This explains why they are commonly utilized in a range of industries.
Features of Stainless Steel 904L Flanges
SS 904L Flanges have been designed to resist chloride stress corrosion cracking under annealed conditions. Moreover, they are durable and can withstand pressure and pressure levels. The material is suitable for various industrial applications, including pharmaceutical, power generation, and sour water services. Other uses include piping systems, industrial machinery, and pesticide industries.
