Super Duplex Steel 2507 Flanges

Super Duplex Steel 2507 Flanges are pipe system components made of a specific type of stainless steel called super duplex steel grade 2507. This highly corrosion-resistant material makes it suitable for use in hostile situations such as offshore oil rigs, chemical processing facilities, and maritime industries. Flanges connect pipelines, valves, and other equipment, ensuring a secure and leak-proof seal. Super Duplex Steel 2507 Flanges provide exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to corrosion, erosion, and pitting. This makes them ideal for rigorous working circumstances where ordinary stainless steel or other materials may fail.

There are several types of Super Duplex Steel 2507 Flanges, two of which are explained, and the rest are mentioned in the table below. Weld neck flanges have a sizeable tapered hub that reinforces the flange and allows a seamless transition from pipe to flange. They are welded to the pipe, providing superior strength and stability, especially in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. Slip-on flanges, however, fit over the pipe and are then welded in place. They are easier to align than weld neck flanges and are commonly used in applications requiring regular disassembly or repair. Both flanges have high corrosion resistance and mechanical qualities similar to super duplex steel 2507, making them appropriate for various demanding industrial applications.

Process and service water systems, ballast water systems, and desalination facilities all use 2507's resistance to chlorine. Mechanical assembly and infrastructure depend on Super Duplex Steel 2507 flanges because they can withstand significant mechanical stress in seawater. Super Duplex Steel 2507 flanges are also utilized in offshore platforms and oil and gas exploration and production to protect against saltwater. Flue-gas desulfurisation systems in the power sector, as well as geothermal exploration units, use 2507 flanges.
