Stainless Steel 202 Flanges

Stainless Steel 202 Flanges are critical mechanical components that connect two pipes or tubes in industrial or manufacturing environments. SS flanges usually have better corrosion resistance than conventional carbon steel and may be customised to meet a variety of applications. This type of stainless steel is primarily made of chromium and nickel, with iron and trace quantities of manganese, silicon, copper, nitrogen, and molybdenum for extra strength. Stainless steel 202's high chromium content gives it a remarkable capacity to resist rust development even in moisture-rich environments.

The thickness of stainless steel 202 flanges varies according to the application's unique needs and the standards to which they conform. However, the thickness range for stainless steel 202 flanges is commonly between 3 mm and 25 mm. This thickness provides suitable strength and endurance for various industrial applications, including pipelines, chemical processing, and construction. Manufacturers frequently produce flanges in various thicknesses to suit a wide range of operating conditions and pressure ratings, assuring compatibility and safety in the systems they are used in.

Grade 202 is chromium-manganese-nickel stainless steel with excellent toughness at low temperatures. Compared to 304, grade 202 has less nickel, which results in low corrosion resistance and hardness. However, it is a less-priced substitute for grade 304 in many applications.
