4. Mechanical & Corrosion Performance
-
Gr1 Tensile ≥240 MPa; Gr2 Tensile ≥345 MPa; Gr5 Tensile ≥895 MPa
-
Yield Strength: Gr1 ≥170 MPa; Gr2 ≥275 MPa; Gr5 ≥828 MPa
-
Elongation: Gr1≥24%; Gr2≥20%; Gr5≥10%
-
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to seawater, brine, chloride‑rich medium; Gr7 option for reducing acid working condition.
-
Weldability: Butt‑weld joint needs high‑purity argon shielding; weld neck design reduces stress concentration for high‑pressure loop.
5. Full Size Range
-
Nominal Size: 1/2" ~ 80" (DN15‑DN2000)
-
Pressure Class: Class150 up to Class2500
-
Seal Face Type: RF, FF, RJ ring‑joint face optional
-
Specification: Standard sizes available; non‑standard OD, bolt circle, thickness can be made by customer drawings.
6. Surface Treatment Options
-
Pickling: Remove forging oxide scale, general‑purpose export finish
-
CNC machined surface: Precision finish for sealing face, mandatory for RJ high‑pressure flange
-
Sand blasting: Uniform matte surface, avoid iron contamination risk
-
Passivation: Extra anti‑corrosion treatment for coastal or marine project

|
WN titanium flange is preferred solution for high‑pressure corrosive piping where stainless steel suffers rapid local corrosion failure.
8. Strict Quality Control & Test Items
-
Raw billet incoming inspection for chemical composition.
-
Hot forging grain structure inspection to eliminate internal shrinkage and porosity.
-
Full dimension inspection: OD, thickness, bolt hole position, sealing face flatness.
-
NDT: Ultrasonic UT test for forging internal defects; MPI test available for high‑class Class1500‑2500 orders.
-
Surface visual inspection, no crack, scratch or iron contamination on weld end and sealing surface.
-
Issued documents: EN10204 3.1 MTC mill test certificate, dimension inspection report, NDT record, batch traceability.
9. Export Packaging & Shipment
-
Inner package: Anti‑rust plastic film + foam cushion to protect machined sealing surface.
-
Outer package: Fumigated export wooden case, moisture‑proof for ocean freight.
-
Permanent marking: Laser mark grade, standard, size, heat number on each flange body.
-
Trade term support: FOB, CIF, DDP; sea freight for bulk, air freight for urgent small‑batch orders.
