SS 316 SORF Flanges

SS 316 SORF Flanges Supplier & Stockist in India

SS 316 SORF Flanges (Slip-On Raised Face Flanges) are forged stainless steel flanges that fit over pipes and are typically secured with fillet welds. Made from Type 316 stainless steel (UNS S31600), they contain 2–3% molybdenum, improving resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in many chloride-containing environments.

Metalloy Steel supplies SS 316 Slip-On Raised Face Flanges for industrial piping systems. Buyers can specify the required size, pressure class, flange standard, facing and material documentation.

SS 316 SORF Flanges Specifications, Chemical Composition and Applications

Key Advantages of SS 316 SORF Flanges

Practical Pipe Positioning

The slip-on bore allows the pipe to enter the flange before welding, helping fabricators align components during piping assembly.

Defined Gasket Contact Surface

The raised face provides a designated gasket seating area when matched with compatible gasket materials, bolting and flange specifications.

Fabrication Flexibility

SS 316 can be welded using suitable procedures and filler materials. Post-weld cleaning and appropriate procedures help preserve corrosion performance.

Useful in Process-Service Applications

Its alloy composition makes it a common material choice for selected chemical, water-treatment, marine and process-piping systems where the service conditions are compatible.

Specification-Based Procurement

Buyers can define the material grade, dimensional standard, nominal size, pressure class and inspection requirements to align procurement with the piping design.

Applications & Industries Using SS 316 SORF Flanges

Industry Applications
Chemical Processing Compatible chemical-transfer lines, process piping and equipment connections
Marine & Coastal Facilities Selected seawater-adjacent utility lines and coastal process systems, subject to chloride exposure assessment
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Utility piping and compatible process-equipment connections
Food & Beverage Processing Product-transfer lines, washdown systems and process utilities where the material and finish meet hygiene requirements
Water Treatment Selected treatment-system piping and equipment connections

Frequently Asked Questions

SS 316 SORF Flanges are Slip-On Raised Face flanges made from Type 316 stainless steel. The pipe fits inside the flange bore and is typically secured using fillet welds.

ASTM A182/ASME SA182 is commonly specified for forged stainless steel flanges. Dimensional requirements depend on the selected standard, such as ASME B16.5.

Sizes and pressure classes depend on the applicable standard and product availability. Share your required dimensions, pressure class and operating conditions when enquiring.

SS 316 offers better pitting resistance than SS 304 in many chloride environments but can still experience localized corrosion in seawater. Confirm suitability against actual service conditions.

Share your required size, pressure class, flange standard, facing, quantity and documentation requirements. Metalloy Steel can discuss availability and pricing based on your specifications.
