ASME B16.5 SO Flange Gr1 Gr2 Gr5 Titanium Slip On Flange Class 300
SORF Raised Face for Water Supply Management
Product Introduction of ASME B16.5 Titanium Slip On Flange
Titanium slip-on flanges, conforming to ASME B16.5 standards and
made from Grade 2 titanium alloy, play a crucial role in the oil
and gas industry. These flanges with raised faces are designed to
ensure secure and leak-free connections in pipelines and equipment
subjected to high pressures and corrosive environments. This paper
examines the specifications, characteristics, and applications of
ASME B16.5 Grade 2 Class 150 titanium slip-on flanges with raised
face, highlighting their significance in enhancing operational
efficiency and reliability within the oil and gas sector.
The oil and gas industry relies heavily on robust and durable
components to maintain the integrity of pipeline systems and
equipment. Titanium slip-on flanges are preferred for their
exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, making
them suitable for demanding applications in offshore platforms,
refineries, and chemical processing plants. This paper explores the
structural composition, dimensional standards, and performance
attributes of ASME B16.5 Grade 2 Class 150 titanium slip-on flanges
with raised face, detailing their role in addressing challenges
related to fluid transport, high temperatures, and aggressive media
encountered in oil and gas operations.
ASME B16.5 titanium slip-on flanges are typically available in
various grades of titanium and titanium alloys. The choice of grade
depends on the specific application requirements, including
corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and cost
considerations.
Commercially Pure Titanium:
- Grade 2 (UNS R50400): This is the most widely used grade of
titanium due to its excellent corrosion resistance, formability,
and weldability. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial
applications where moderate strength and good corrosion resistance
are required.
Titanium Alloys:
- Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, UNS R56400): This is the most commonly used
titanium alloy, known for its high strength, lightweight
properties, and excellent corrosion resistance. It is used in
aerospace, marine, and chemical processing industries.
- Grade 7 (UNS R52400): Known for its excellent weldability and
corrosion resistance in reducing and mildly oxidizing environments,
Grade 7 titanium is often used in chemical processing equipment.
- Grade 12 (UNS R53400): This titanium alloy offers excellent
corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing environments and is
well-suited for chemical processing and marine applications.
- Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI, UNS R56401): Similar to Grade 5, but with
extra low interstitial (ELI) content, Grade 23 titanium alloy is
used in medical and aerospace applications where biocompatibility
and high strength are required.
