Leakages of Steam Flange Sealing

  • Posted: 05/22/2023 07:05:34
  • Hits: 160

In the ironmaking process, steam is mainly used to replace the gas inside the blast furnace body, gravity dust collector and hot blast stove, so that maintenance personnel can inspect and repair the equipment. At the same time, steam is also used for heat preservation of some equipment in the ironmaking...


Results of Stainless Steel 304 Flanges in Propylene

1. The analysis of the failure According to the above analysis results, it can be known that the main reasons for the failure of the slip-on flange are as follows: (1) GB T 700-2006 standard stipulates that w(C) should be less than and equal to 0. 22% in Q235, and w (C) in this material is 0. 96%. In...


Measures to Prevent and Control Deformation Caused by Welding

3.1 Welding sequences In view of the above structural characteristics of welding flanges and cylinders, when compiling the welding process, we can skillfully use the welding stress of the material to make it as far as possible to offset each other in the direction of action, as shown in Figure 3. The...


Deformation of Stainless Steel Slip-on Flanges After Welding

  • Posted: 11/07/2022 08:11:17
  • Hits: 62

In the manufacturing process of pressure vessels, due to the unbalanced heating of the workpiece in the welding process and the cooling after welding, welding stress will occur inside the workpiece. Residual deformation will easily happen after welding if effective preventive and control measures are...
