Carbon Steel Flange Supplier in ZAMBIA 

Carbon steel flanges are essential for piping systems to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. They are made from carbon steel, a steel alloy primarily composed of iron and carbon, with different elements added to enhance properties like strength, hardness, and durability. Carbon steel flanges are known for their strength, resistance to corrosion, and affordability, making them widely used in various industrial applications.

Several carbon steel flanges are designed for specific purposes and applications. Some of the most common types include:

1. Slip-on Flanges in ZAMBIA (SO): These flanges have a slightly larger bore diameter than the outside diameter of the pipe. They are slipped over the pipe and then welded at the inner and outer edges, providing a strong and secure connection.

2. Weld Neck Flanges in ZAMBIA (WN): Weld neck flanges feature a long, tapered hub that provides an ideal pipe connection. They are welded to the pipe and the adjoining pipe, offering excellent strength and stability, particularly in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

3. Blind Flanges in ZAMBIA (BL): Blind flanges seal the end of a pipe or vessel. They are typically used in applications where future expansion might be needed or temporarily block off a pipeline.

4. Socket Weld Flanges in ZAMBIA (SW): Socket weld flanges are designed with smaller-diameter pipes. They are welded directly onto the pipe, creating a smooth bore and a tight seal.

5. Threaded Flanges in ZAMBIA: These flanges have internal threads that allow them to be screwed onto the pipe. They are commonly used in low-pressure applications and where welding is not feasible.

6. Lap Joint Flanges in ZAMBIA (LJ): Lap joint flanges are used with stub ends. They allow for easy alignment of bolt holes and are ideal for non-standard connections or systems requiring frequent dismantling.

7. Orifice Flanges in ZAMBIA: Orifice flanges are specifically designed for flow measurement or restriction applications. They feature a small orifice opening that can be used with an orifice plate to measure flow rates.

8. Ring-Type Joint (RTJ) Flanges in ZAMBIA: RTJ flanges use a ring joint gasket to create a tight seal in high-pressure and high-temperature applications. They are commonly used in the oil and gas industries.

These are just a few examples of the many carbon steel flanges available, each with unique features and advantages suited to different piping requirements.

2. Weld Neck Stainless Steel Flange in ZAMBIA: These flanges have a long tapered hub designed to provide an ideal pipe connection. They are welded inside and outside to ensure strength and stability, especially in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

3. Blind Stainless Steel Flange in ZAMBIA: These flanges seal the end of a pipe or vessel. They are commonly used in applications where future expansion may be needed or to temporarily block off a pipeline.

4. Socket Weld Stainless Steel Flange in ZAMBIA: Designed for smaller diameter pipes, these flanges are welded for a tight seal. They feature a recessed area to insert the pipe, providing a smooth flow path.

5. Threaded Stainless Steel Flange in ZAMBIA: These flanges have threads machined onto their inner bore, allowing them to be screwed onto the pipe for easy installation and removal.

6. Lap Joint Stainless Steel Flange in ZAMBIA: These flanges allow for easy alignment of bolt holes. They are often used in non-standard connections or where the alignment of the bolt holes is critical.

7. JIS/Marine Stainless Steel Flange in ZAMBIA: Designed to Japanese Industrial Standards, these flanges are suitable for marine applications. They come in various pressure ratings, such as 5k, 10k, pn6, and 16k, catering to different requirements in aquatic environments.
