ASME B16.5 ASTM A182 F310 Stainless Steel WNRTJ Flange for Industries


ASTM A182 F310 is a specification for a high-temperature alloy steel known as stainless steel grade 310. A blind flange is a type of flange that is used to close the end of a pipe or vessel. It is solid and does not have a bore or an opening in the center. Blind flanges are typically used in applications where it is necessary to terminate a pipeline or create a sealed end. They are also used for pressure testing or when future expansion of the piping system may be required.

Blind flanges are typically attached to the pipe or vessel by welding. The flange is welded to the end of the pipe or vessel, creating a permanent and secure connection. To ensure a reliable seal, blind flanges are often used in conjunction with gaskets. The gasket is placed between the blind flange and the mating flange or equipment to create a tight and leak-proof seal.

Various Kinds of Flanges we can supply as below
1. Slip-on Flanges.
Slip-on Flanges have a lower initial cost than welding neck flanges because they require less accuracy in cutting pipe to length, and they provide a greater ease of alignment in assembly. However, their calculated strength under internal pressure is approximately 2/3's the strength of welding neck flanges, and their life under fatigue is 1/3 shorter. Slip-on Flanges are limited to 1/2" to 2½" sizes in 1500lbs standard.
2. Threaded Flanges
Threaded Flanges are used for special applications. They can be assembled without welding and can be used in extremely high pressure services--at or near atmospheric pressure--where alloy steel is essential for strength. Threaded flanges are not suited for conditions involving temperature or bending stresses, or under cyclic conditions where leakage through the threads may occur.
3. Weld Neck Flanges
Weld Neck Flanges have a long tapered hub and gradual transition of thickness in the region of the butt weld joining them to the pipe. The tapered hub provides important reinforcement to the flange and resistance to dishing. This type of flange is preferred for severe service conditions resulting from high pressure, sub-zero or high temperatures.
4. Blind Flanges
Blind Flanges are used to blank off the ends of piping, valves and pressure vessel openings. Blind Flanges can handle high stress from internal pressure and bolt loading since the maximum stresses in the blind flange are bending stresses at the center.
5. Socket Weld Flanges
Socket Weld Flanges were developed for use on small size high pressure piping. With an internal weld, socket weld flanges are stronger and have greater fatigue strength than double welding a slip-on flange. Smooth bore conditions can be easily attained by grinding the internal weld. This flange is commonly used in chemical process piping.
6. Lap Joint Flanges
Lap Joint Flanges are used with lap joint stubs. Lap joint flanges are commonly used in carbon or low alloy steel piping systems that need to be frequently dismantled for inspection and cleaning. They should not be used at any points where severe bending stresses occur.


Applications
ASTM A182 F310 blind flanges are commonly used in industries such as petrochemical, chemical, power generation, and oil and gas. They are suitable for applications involving high temperatures, such as heat exchangers, boilers, pressure vessels, and piping systems.
