Corrosion-resistant Piping Solutions
Stainless steel flanges offer corrosion resistance and durability for industrial piping, ideal for chemical and food industries as of august 2025.
A stainless steel flange (SS flange) is a key piping component designed for strength, corrosion resistance, and durability across industries.
Stainless steel flanges are vital components in various industrial processes, serving as connectors or joint pieces between pipes, valves and other equipment. Made from a blend of iron, chromium and nickel, stainless steel flanges boast exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for use in harsh environments. These versatile flanges come in different shapes and sizes to suit the diverse needs of industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, etc. They also offer excellent sealing capabilities to prevent leakages and ensure a safe working environment. Stainless steel flanges are available in various shapes, sizes, and grades to meet specific application requirements.
A stainless steel flange is used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment in piping systems. Common material standards and grades include ASTM A182 Grade F304/L and F316/L, with pressure ratings from Class 150 to Class 2500.
Compared to carbon steel flanges, stainless steel flanges offer superior corrosion resistance, longer service life, and a clean, professional appearance.
Excellent performance in harsh and corrosive environments.
Suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature service.
Clean surface finish, ideal for hygienic industries.
Widely used in oil & gas, chemical, food, marine, and power industries.

These mechanical properties make Stainless Steel Flanges suitable for applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance, such as architectural structures, marine environments, and chemical processing.
In order to solve the cumbersome and difficult to remember stainless steel grades, improve the practicability of the brand representation, and the contrast with the international standard grades, China has formulated the "Universal Code System for Steel and Alloy Grades", such as 06Cr19Ni10, corresponding to 304. Different grades of stainless steel have different ingredients, but they all have a national standard. The standards of each country are also different.
