About SS 904L Flanges
These stainless steel flanges are fillet welded to a position and are ideal for low-pressure applications. Blind Flanges: The flanges are designed without a bore, and are used to seal vessel openings or piping systems. These flanges are ideal for piping systems or vessels that require regular inspection.
Unmatched Strength and DurabilitySS 904L Flanges are engineered to meet the highest industry standards, providing a minimum tensile strength of 490 MPa with an impressive elongation of at least 35%. Their purity, forged or machined construction, and smooth surfaces make them highly robust and suitable for both standard and custom specifications. Ensuring long service life, they perform optimally in challenging environments where reliability is paramount.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsDesigned for utility across diverse sectors, SS 904L Flanges serve in petrochemical, chemical, oil & gas, power plants, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries. Their excellent corrosion resistance and adaptability-whether weld neck, slip on, blind, socket weld, or threaded-make them an essential choice for connecting pipes and system layouts requiring steadfast integrity and minimal maintenance.
Strict Adherence to Global StandardsEach SS 904L Flange complies with recognized international standards such as ASTM, ASME, DIN, EN, and JIS, and connection ends including Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), and Ring Type Joint (RTJ). This ensures genuine compatibility, safety, and quality assurance for both local and global projects. Packaging in wooden boxes and cartons guarantees safe transport and delivery.
