What is 316 stainless steel?
316 stainless steel is a highly versatile grade known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Belonging to the austenitic family of stainless steels, it boasts high levels of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, contributing to its remarkable resistance to corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments. This makes it widely used in marine, pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. With excellent strength, toughness, and formability, 316 stainless steel finds applications in structural components, piping systems, surgical instruments, and architectural elements, making it a preferred choice across diverse sectors for its reliability and durability.
The material of flange 316 is derived from 316 stainless steel, a renowned alloy prized for its exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Engineered to withstand harsh environments, 316 stainless steel flanges offer superior durability and reliability, making them ideal for critical applications in various industries. These flanges, crafted from high-grade stainless steel, ensure long-term performance and efficiency in piping systems. With their robust construction and resistance to corrosion and oxidation, SS 316 flanges are trusted components that provide enduring reliability in demanding conditions.
The composition of SS 316 flanges is meticulously engineered to ensure optimal performance in demanding applications. These flanges are crafted from 316 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy renowned for its superior properties. Comprising primarily of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, SS 316 flanges offer enhanced resistance to corrosion, especially in aggressive environments containing chlorides. The chromium content, typically 16-18%, forms a passive oxide layer on the surface, providing a protective barrier against corrosion. Nickel, present at approximately 10-14%, enhances the flanges' ductility and toughness, while molybdenum, typically around 2-3%, further improves their corrosion resistance, particularly in chloride-rich conditions.
Additionally, small amounts of alloying elements, such as manganese, silicon, and carbon, may be present to fine-tune the material's properties. This carefully balanced composition ensures that SS 316 flanges exhibit superior corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability, making them indispensable components in critical piping systems and industrial applications.
Our SS 316 flanges adhere to international standards to ensure quality and compatibility with global requirements. These flanges are manufactured per ASTM A182 and ASME B16.5 specifications, which set the standards for materials, dimensions, and tolerances for flanges used in piping systems. Additionally, they meet the requirements of ASTM A240 for the material composition of stainless steel plate, sheet, and strip, ensuring consistency and reliability. Our SS 316 flanges guarantee superior performance and reliability in various industrial applications.

316 Stainless Steel vs 304
316 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel stand are two prominent grades within the stainless steel family, offering distinct advantages and applications. The composition of 316 stainless steel includes higher levels of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum than 304 stainless steel. This composition lends 316 stainless steel superior corrosion resistance, especially in chloride-rich environments like marine and chemical processing settings. Conversely, 304 stainless steel, while still corrosion-resistant in many environments, may experience corrosion in chloride-rich conditions due to its lower molybdenum content.
Regarding cost-effectiveness, 304 stainless steel tends to be more economical than 316 stainless steel due to its lower nickel content. Both grades, however, exhibit comparable strength and hardness, making them suitable for a wide range of structural and mechanical applications. While 316 stainless steel is preferred for industries requiring superior corrosion resistance, such as marine, chemical processing, and pharmaceuticals, 304 stainless steel finds extensive use in food processing equipment, kitchen appliances, automotive components, and architectural features where corrosion resistance is essential but not critical.
SS 316 Slip-on flanges are secured to the pipe with a fillet weld at the top and the bottom of the flange. A combination of flange and elbow or flange and tee is not possible, because named fittings have not a straight end, that complete slid in the 316 Slip on flange.
SS 316 RF flanges seal with a flat gasket, formerly made of asbestos but now made of more environmentally friendly material, designed for installation between the raised faces of two mating flanges (both with raised faces). The face on these 316 SS Raised Face flanges has two levels formed by two "Rings". The inner "Ring" forms the raised gasket contact surface and the outer "Ring" forms a non-contact area.
The smooth transition from SS 316 weld neck flange thickness to pipe or fitting wall thickness affected by the taper is extremely beneficial, under conditions of repeated bending, caused by line expansion or other variable forces. The inside diameter of this attachment in 316 SS welding neck flanges is machined to match the inside diameter of the pipe.
