ASME B16.5 Class 300 Titanium Slip On Flange with Raised Face for Corrosion Resistant Applications

ASME B16.5 SO Flange Gr1 Gr2 Gr5 Titanium Slip On Flange Class 300 SORF Raised Face for Water Supply Management

Product Introduction of ASME B16.5 Titanium Slip On Flange

Titanium slip-on flanges, conforming to ASME B16.5 standards and made from Grade 2 titanium alloy, play a crucial role in the oil and gas industry. These flanges with raised faces are designed to ensure secure and leak-free connections in pipelines and equipment subjected to high pressures and corrosive environments. This paper examines the specifications, characteristics, and applications of ASME B16.5 Grade 2 Class 150 titanium slip-on flanges with raised face, highlighting their significance in enhancing operational efficiency and reliability within the oil and gas sector.

The oil and gas industry relies heavily on robust and durable components to maintain the integrity of pipeline systems and equipment. Titanium slip-on flanges are preferred for their exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, making them suitable for demanding applications in offshore platforms, refineries, and chemical processing plants. This paper explores the structural composition, dimensional standards, and performance attributes of ASME B16.5 Grade 2 Class 150 titanium slip-on flanges with raised face, detailing their role in addressing challenges related to fluid transport, high temperatures, and aggressive media encountered in oil and gas operations.

ASME B16.5 titanium slip-on flanges are typically available in various grades of titanium and titanium alloys. The choice of grade depends on the specific application requirements, including corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and cost considerations.

1. Commercially Pure Titanium:

   • Grade 2 (UNS R50400): This is the most widely used grade of titanium due to its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where moderate strength and good corrosion resistance are required.

2. Titanium Alloys:

   • Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, UNS R56400): This is the most commonly used titanium alloy, known for its high strength, lightweight properties, and excellent corrosion resistance. It is used in aerospace, marine, and chemical processing industries.
   • Grade 7 (UNS R52400): Known for its excellent weldability and corrosion resistance in reducing and mildly oxidizing environments, Grade 7 titanium is often used in chemical processing equipment.
   • Grade 12 (UNS R53400): This titanium alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing environments and is well-suited for chemical processing and marine applications.
   • Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI, UNS R56401): Similar to Grade 5, but with extra low interstitial (ELI) content, Grade 23 titanium alloy is used in medical and aerospace applications where biocompatibility and high strength are required.
