Titanium Blind Plate Flange DIN 2502 Gr1 Gr2 Gr5 PN16 Plate Flange for Pipeline Systems

During installation, titanium plate flanges are aligned with the pipe or equipment port and secured using bolts that are pre-installed through holes drilled in the flange. A full-face gasket is used to cover the entire surface of the flange to ensure a seal and prevent leakage during system operation.

2. Grades of DIN 2502 Titanium Plate Flange 

Titanium Grade 2:

• Composition: Titanium Grade 2, also known as commercially pure titanium (CP Ti), is composed of 99.2% titanium, with the remaining 0.8% consisting primarily of iron and oxygen.
• Properties:
  • Strength: It has good strength, comparable to some low-alloy steels.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Grade 2 titanium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance, especially in environments where chlorides are present.
  • Fabricability: It is readily weldable and formable, making it suitable for various manufacturing processes.
• Applications:
  • Chemical processing equipment
  • Marine and offshore applications
  • Medical implants and surgical instruments
  • Aerospace components where weight savings and corrosion resistance are critical

Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V):

• Composition: Titanium Grade 5 is an alloy composed of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium.
• Properties:
  • Strength: Grade 5 titanium is significantly stronger than Grade 2, making it ideal for high-strength applications.
  • Corrosion Resistance: It offers good corrosion resistance, although not as high as Grade 2 in some environments.
  • Heat Resistance: Grade 5 maintains excellent strength at elevated temperatures.
  • Lightweight: Like all titanium alloys, Grade 5 is lightweight compared to many other metals.
• Applications:
  • Aerospace components (aircraft structural components, engine parts)
  • Automotive racing (engine components, exhaust systems)
  • Biomedical implants (orthopedic implants, dental implants)
  • Marine components
  • Sports equipment (bicycle frames, golf clubs)

Selection Considerations:

• Corrosion Environment: Grade 2 is preferred for applications requiring superior corrosion resistance, especially in chlorinated environments. Grade 5 is suitable where higher strength and moderate corrosion resistance are needed.
• Strength Requirements: Grade 5 offers superior strength over Grade 2, making it suitable for load-bearing applications where weight and strength are critical factors.
• Cost: Grade 5 titanium is generally more expensive than Grade 2 due to its alloying elements and enhanced properties.

Both Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium have their distinct advantages and are chosen based on specific application requirements for strength, corrosion resistance, and other mechanical properties.
