Product Specification

Nickel-Based Loose Flange Hastelloy B-2/B-3 Welding Lap Joint Flange

Hastelloy B-2 and B-3 are nickel-based alloys that belong to the Hastelloy alloy family and have excellent corrosion resistance. These alloys are primarily used in extremely corrosive environments, especially in the presence of chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and hydrogen fluoride. Here are some of the characteristics of these two alloys:

Hastelloy B-2:
Main ingredients: nickel, molybdenum, chromium and iron.
Corrosion resistance: Excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of chemical media, especially at high temperatures.
Applications: Commonly used in chemical processing, petrochemicals, nuclear fuel recycling and waste treatment.

Hastelloy B-3:
Main ingredients: Similar to B-2, but B-3 has some ingredients optimized to improve thermal stability and processability.
Corrosion resistance: also has excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of chemical media, especially at high temperatures.
Applications: Suitable for similar areas as B-2, but B-3 may be preferred in some applications due to its improved processability.

Both alloys have very good mechanical properties, such as strength and toughness, as well as stability at high temperatures. Due to their corrosion resistance, Hastelloy B-2 and B-3 are commonly used in the manufacture of chemical equipment and components such as reactors, heat exchangers, pipes, valves and pumps. When selecting and using these alloys, specific application conditions, including temperature, chemical media, and required mechanical properties, need to be considered.

Slip-On Weld Neck Flange (also known as Slip-On Weld Neck Flange) is a commonly used pipe connection element that combines the characteristics of slip-on flanges and neck flanges. When using loose collar flanges, you need to pay attention to the following aspects:

• Pipe preparation: Make sure the ends of the pipe are flat, free of burrs, and the outside diameter meets the flange size requirements. Pipe ends often need to be chamfered or rounded to facilitate the slip-on of the flange.
• Flange Alignment: During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the flange is aligned with the pipe to avoid stress concentration or leakage problems due to eccentricity.
• Gasket selection: Select the appropriate gasket material according to the properties of the application medium (such as corrosiveness, temperature, pressure, etc.). The quality and installation method of the gasket are critical to the sealing performance of the connection.
• Bolt tightening: Use appropriate torque to tighten the bolts to ensure the tightness of the flange connection. Over-tightening can cause flange deformation or gasket damage, while under-tightening can cause leaks.
• Inspection and Testing: Upon completion of installation, visual inspection and appropriate pressure testing should be performed to ensure the integrity and tightness of the connections.
• Maintenance and inspection: Regularly inspect flange joints, especially gaskets and bolts, to ensure they are in good condition. For flanges used in harsh environments or under high temperatures and pressures, more frequent inspections and maintenance may be required.
• Operating conditions: Ensure flanges and their connecting systems are suitable for expected operating conditions, including temperatures, pressures, media and potential corrosion risks.
• Compliance: Follow relevant industry standards and specifications such as ASME, API, DIN, etc. to ensure that flange selection, installation and maintenance comply with safety requirements and regulations.

Due to its structure and installation characteristics, the necked loose-threaded flange is suitable for some specific applications, but special attention needs to be paid to the above matters when using it to ensure the safety and reliability of the connection.
