Duplex flanges

What Are Duplex Flanges?

Duplex flanges are specialized piping components crafted from duplex stainless steel alloys, which contain a balanced mix of austenitic and ferritic microstructures. This unique composition provides exceptional mechanical strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking, pitting, and crevice corrosion, making them ideal for harsh environments.

Key Features and Advantages

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

  • Withstands exposure to chlorides, acids, and seawater.
  • Ideal for marine, chemical, and offshore applications.

High Mechanical Strength

  • Twice the strength of conventional stainless steel.
  • Suitable for high-pressure and high-stress systems.

Resistance to Stress Corrosion Cracking

  • Performs reliably in environments with fluctuating temperatures and pressures.
  • Reduces the risk of material failure in demanding applications.
