Stainless Steel 316L Butt-Weld Flange for Chemical Processing Vessels is a high-corrosion-resistance fitting engineered for connecting chemical vessels (reactors, tanks) to pipelines, made from 316L stainless steel and designed to ASME/ANSI standards. It is widely used in petrochemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and acid processing facilities, where exposure to corrosive media (acids, solvents, salts) is constant.
A key advantage of Stainless Steel 316L Butt-Weld Flange for Chemical Processing Vessels lies in its exceptional corrosion resistance. The 316L alloy contains molybdenum, which shields against pitting and crevice corrosion from chloride-rich or acidic fluids—outperforming 304 stainless steel in harsh chemical environments. The butt-weld design also creates a seamless, leak-tight joint, preventing hazardous chemical spills and ensuring process safety.
Stainless Steel 316L Butt-Weld Flange for Chemical Processing Vessels further offers hygiene and durability. Its smooth surface is easy to clean and sanitize, meeting pharmaceutical and food-grade chemical standards (e.g., FDA), while the 316L material maintains strength at temperatures ranging from -196°C to 800°C. It complies with ASME B16.5 for dimensional consistency, ensuring compatibility with vessel nozzles and pipes. Whether used in sulfuric acid reactors or pharmaceutical blending tanks, it delivers reliable, long-lasting performance for critical chemical processes.
