ASME develops standards for flanges and pipes in the USA, specifying dimensions, materials, strength, and testing. ASME maintains dozens of flange standards for different materials and types of flanges, including specialized standards for high-temperature applications. ASME flanges must meet specific criteria, including dimensions, pressure ratings, gasket type, and bolt pattern. Standards help ensure safe installation […]
Stainless steel flanges are popular due to their corrosion resistance and strength. They are available in various sizes and can replace other types of flanges. ASME and ANSI standards ensure consistency and suitability for different applications. Metal flanges are common in a number of applications, but under certain circumstances, some types of metal flanges are […]
Choosing the correct flange size is usually easy as most are pre-determined by national standards. Flange dimensions vary, but most countries have standards. Consider overall dimension, weight/pressure, and contact a manufacturer or engineer for heavy loads or high pressures. Choosing the correct flange size is often easier than you might expect because most flange sizes […]
