PN 40 Titanium Slip On Flange EN1092-01 Gr1 Gr5 Gr7 SORF Raised Face for Pipeline

2. Grades of EN1092-01 Titanium Plate Flange Gr1 Gr5 Gr7

1. Grade 1 (Commercially Pure Titanium, CP Ti):

   • Properties: Grade 1 titanium is the most ductile and softest titanium alloy. It offers excellent corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing and mildly reducing environments, as well as good weldability.
   • Applications: Commonly used in chemical processing, marine, and aerospace industries where corrosion resistance and ease of fabrication are essential.

2. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V):

   • Properties: Grade 5 titanium alloy is characterized by its high strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance. It has good weldability and is heat-treatable.
   • Applications: Widely used in aerospace, marine, and chemical processing industries for components requiring high strength-to-weight ratio, such as turbine blades, aircraft structures, and offshore oil and gas equipment.

3. Grade 7 (Ti-0.2Pd):

   • Properties: Grade 7 titanium offers superior corrosion resistance, especially in reducing and mildly oxidizing environments, compared to other titanium grades. It also has good weldability and formability.
   • Applications: Used in chemical processing, desalination, and marine applications where resistance to chlorides and other corrosive media is critical.

Each grade of titanium offers specific advantages based on its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and suitability for different environmental conditions. When selecting a titanium plate flange grade (such as Gr1, Gr5, or Gr7), it's essential to consider factors such as the operating environment, required strength, and compatibility with other materials in the system to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

4. Why We Choose Titanium Plate Flanges in the Applications?

Titanium plate flanges offer a range of advantages that make them highly sought after in various industrial applications where performance and durability are crucial.

Corrosion Resistance: Titanium plate flanges are highly resistant to corrosion, even in aggressive environments such as seawater, acids, and chlorides. This makes them ideal for industries like chemical processing, marine, and offshore oil and gas where corrosion resistance is critical.

Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Titanium has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making titanium weld neck flanges strong and durable while remaining lightweight. This is advantageous in applications where weight reduction is desirable without compromising strength and performance.

High Temperature Resistance: Titanium plate flanges can withstand high temperatures without losing their mechanical properties. They maintain their strength and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for applications involving heat and thermal cycling.

Biocompatibility: Titanium is biocompatible and non-toxic, which makes titanium weld neck flanges suitable for use in medical equipment, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and food processing industries where product purity is essential.

Longevity and Durability: Titanium is known for its durability and long service life. Titanium weld neck flanges exhibit excellent resistance to fatigue, erosion, and wear, contributing to reduced maintenance and replacement costs over time.

Excellent Sealing Properties: The smooth surface finish of titanium weld neck flanges, achieved through pickling or machining processes, allows for superior sealing with gaskets or other connecting components. This helps prevent leaks and ensures reliable performance in critical applications.

Compatibility with Other Metals: Titanium plate flanges can be easily welded or paired with other metals such as stainless steel or carbon steel, allowing for versatility in design and compatibility with existing systems.

5.Different Face Types Of Titanium Plate Flanges:

Raised Face (RF) Flange:

1. Design:

   • Raised Surface: A Raised Face flange has a small portion around the bore drilled slightly larger than the pipe's diameter. This creates a ridge (or raised face) above the flange's surface.
   • Sealing Surface: The raised face serves as the primary sealing surface where the gasket rests. It provides a tight seal when compressed against the mating flange.

2. Advantages:

   • Enhanced Sealing: The raised face design concentrates the gasket compression into a smaller area, improving the effectiveness of the seal.
   • Protection: The raised face helps protect the flange surface from damage during handling and installation.

3. Applications:

   • Common: Raised Face flanges are more common in standard industrial applications where a reliable and leak-free seal is essential.
   • Pressure Ratings: Suitable for higher pressure applications as the raised face allows for better compression of the gasket.

Flat Face (FF) Flange:

1. Design:

   • Smooth Surface: Flat Face flanges have a flat or smooth surface without any protrusions or raised areas around the bore.
   • Sealing Surface: The sealing is achieved by placing the gasket directly on the flat surface of the flange.

2. Advantages:

   • Ease of Alignment: Flat Face flanges are easier to align during assembly because there are no raised surfaces to contend with.
   • Space Saving: They require less space compared to Raised Face flanges, which may be advantageous in tight installations.

3. Applications:

   • Specialized: Flat Face flanges are typically used in low-pressure and non-critical applications where sealing requirements are less stringent.
   • Special Gaskets: May require special gaskets (such as full-face gaskets) that cover the entire face of the flange to ensure proper sealing.

Choosing Between Raised Face and Flat Face:

• Pressure and Sealing Requirements: Raised Face flanges are preferred for higher pressure applications where a reliable seal is critical. Flat Face flanges are suitable for lower pressure applications or where space constraints are a concern.

• Gasket Selection: The choice of gasket (such as ring-type or full-face) depends on the flange facing type (RF or FF) and the application requirements for sealing integrity.
