Product Description
ANSI Flanges
Because of the additional strength provided by our Ansi Flanges, mechanical systems, structures, and assemblies with excellent performance are being built worldwide. Ansi Flanges, which are marketed by NIKO STEEL AND ENGINEERING LLP and have been tested and certified to satisfy the specifications of the American National Standards Institute, holds the organization's seal of approval for the most demanding applications. Unless otherwise stated, these flanges will be supplied with a raised face on the outside. All measurements are in inches unless otherwise stated. In the absence of specific instructions, a standard bore will be provided.
Versatile Connection TypesAnsi Flanges are available in multiple connection forms, including Welding Neck, Slip On, Blind, Socket Weld, Lap Joint, and Threaded designs. This variety ensures compatibility with various piping systems and facilitates easy installation and reliable sealing performance.
Strict Quality and Testing ProtocolsEach Ansi Flange undergoes comprehensive hydrostatic, ultrasonic, radiographic, magnetic particle, and positive material identification testing as per international standards. The rigorous process delivers robust flanges with verified material properties and precise dimensions, ready for demanding applications.
Wide Range of Materials and CoatingsManufactured in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, these flanges are available in grades like ASTM A105, A182, and A350, addressing diverse strength and corrosion resistance needs. Optional coatingsanti-rust oil, galvanising, paint, or epoxyextend product longevity, especially in harsh environments.
FAQs of Ansi Flanges:
Q: How are Ansi Flanges manufactured to ensure durability and reliability?
A: Ansi Flanges are produced using forging and heat treatment, followed by precision machining. These processes enhance their mechanical properties and ensure they meet or exceed ANSI/ASME standards.
Q: What testing processes do Ansi Flanges undergo before delivery?
A: Each flange is tested using hydrostatic, ultrasonic (UT), radiographic (RT), magnetic particle (MPI), and positive material identification (PMI) methods, ensuring full compliance with quality and safety standards.
Q: Where are Ansi Flanges typically used?
A: Ansi Flanges are widely utilized in industrial pressure piping systems, oil and gas installations, and water pipeline connections, providing reliable joint solutions for high-pressure environments.
Q: When should I choose a specific connection type such as Welding Neck or Slip On flange?
A: The choice depends on the application: Welding Neck flanges suit high-pressure, high-temperature systems, while Slip On flanges are ideal for lower-pressure setups and easier installation.
Q: What are the benefits of using Ansi Flanges in piping systems?
A: Ansi Flanges offer secure sealing, high tensile and corrosion resistance, heat tolerance up to 600C (depending on material), and adaptability to both standard and custom specifications.
Q: How do I select the right material grade or coating for my project?
A: Material and coating selection should match your environments demands. For corrosion-prone areas, stainless steel and epoxy coatings are preferable, while carbon or alloy steel may suit less aggressive settings.
