1. Characteristics of crevice corrosion of stainless steel flanges are as follows: (1) The corrosion of the metal in the crevice is caused by the existence of foreign matter or structural reasons on the metal surface, which makes the migration of corrosion related substances in the solution in the crevice...
A printing and dyeing equipment factory added water for the pressure test to the pipeline connected to stainless steel 304L raised face flanges. The pressure test water was not emptied in time in the pipeline. After about 15 days, it was found that the flange's sealing surface was corroded. The...
2. The analysis of the causes of corrosion of stainless steel flanges 2.1 The analysis of the material The grade used for SEC stainless steel flange is 316L, and its PRE (pitting corrosion resistance equivalent) calculated by the formula is lower than that of duplex stainless steel. This kind of stainless...
Overview The important water system (SEC) is an open circulation system; its internal medium is seawater, and its main function is to cool the cooling system of the cooling equipment. The main function of RRI is to cool various types of heat exchangers in the nuclear island. The heat load of the nuclear...
The stainless steel flange and stainless steel pipe produced by a company need to be pickled after welding. After pickling, it was found that thinning occurred due to corrosion for one of the flanges in the welding seam and its surrounding areas. The flange is made of stainless steel 304L....
Overview There are many types of flanges, and there are many working conditions. How to choose the right flange in the actual situation? The specific selection types and occasions will be talked about in this article. Types of flanges Flanges can be classified into weld neck flanges,...
3. Welding processes and failure factor analysis of flanges In order to improve the reliability of the connection between the flange and pipeline, welding is generally used. Under the action of a high-temperature heat source during fusion welding, the area where the structure and properties...
Abstract: Two typical cases in chemical plants are listed. The failures of flanges are caused by manufacturing and installation. After analyzing and studying the failed parts, it is found that the surface defects in the forging process and the improper selection of welding materials or processes are...
In recent decades, the work done by domestic and foreign researchers on bolted flanges has focused on the performance of gaskets and loosening of bolts, and significant progress has also been made in some areas. Bolted flanges are generally in the assembly structure, and accurate and...
