1
What makes a flat face flange different from a raised face flange?
Flat face flanges have a completely flat surface on both sides, making them ideal for mating with cast iron or glass-lined equipment where a raised face would risk cracking the mating component.
2
Can you produce flanges for extreme temperature vessels?
Yes, we specialize in Inconel and Hastelloy alloys that maintain structural integrity from cryogenic levels up to 1200°C.
3
How do you ensure the flatness of the flange face?
We use high-precision CNC grinding and lapping machines, followed by a digital flatness check using laser measurement tools.
4
What certifications are provided with the order?
Every shipment includes EN 10204 3.1 Material Certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and NDT clearance certificates.
5
Do you offer custom sizes beyond ASME standards?
Yes, we provide full bespoke engineering services to create flanges for proprietary pressure vessel designs based on your CAD blueprints.
6
What is the typical lead time for custom alloy flanges?
Standard alloys usually ship within 2-3 weeks. For specialty alloys like Inconel or Titanium, lead times vary based on raw material availability, typically 4-6 weeks.
