Key Advantages of UNS10276 WNRF Flanges
- Extreme Corrosion Resistance: Resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in oxidizing & reducing acids (HCl, H₂SO₄, Cl₂ media).
- Thermal Stability: Maintains integrity from cryogenic (-196°C) to high-temp (1040°C) environments.
- Weldability: Low carbon content prevents carbide precipitation during welding (no post-weld heat treatment required).
- ASME Compliance: Certified for ASME B16.5 Pressure Classes 150# to 2500#.
Critical Application Areas
- Chemical Processing: Reactors, acid storage tanks, heat exchangers.
- Pollution Control: Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers, waste incineration systems.
- Oil & Gas: Offshore platforms, sour gas piping (resists H₂S corrosion).
- Pharmaceutical: CIP/SIP systems requiring ultra-high purity.
- Marine Engineering: Seawater handling, ballast water systems.
Technical Compliance & Certifications
- Conforms to: ASTM B462, ASME SB462, ASME B16.5
- Certificates: Mill Test Reports (MTR) per EN 10204 3.1, NACE MR0175 compliant
- Available Pressure Ratings: Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500
