| 304L | UNS S30403, 1.4307 | Extra-low carbon, improved post-weld corrosion resistance | Welded assemblies, chemical equipment, pressure vessels |
| 316 | UNS S31600, 1.4401 | Superior pitting resistance with molybdenum addition | Marine, chemical processing, pharmaceutical |
| 316L | UNS S31603, 1.4404 | Low-carbon 316; enhanced weldability | Offshore platforms, desalination, nuclear auxiliary |
| A182 F304 | ASTM A182 F304 | High-temperature forged grade with excellent mechanical properties | Steam systems, boilers, heat exchangers |
| A182 F316 | ASTM A182 F316 | Forged 316 for high-temperature corrosive service | Refineries, petrochemical plants |
| Type | Abbr. | Design Features | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plate Flat | PL | Flat face, slip-on; economical | Low-medium pressure, ambient temperature |
| Weld Neck | WN | Tapered hub, butt-weld; excellent stress distribution | High pressure, high temperature, critical service |
| Slip-On | SO | Slides over pipe, fillet welded; cost-effective | Moderate pressure, general-purpose piping |
| Threaded | TH | Internal tapered threads; no welding required | Low-pressure, explosive-hazard zones |
| Blind | BL | Solid disc; seals pipe ends and vessel openings | Pipeline closure, pressure testing |
| Lap Joint | LJ | Used with stub end; free bolt alignment | Frequent disassembly, costly alloy piping |
| Socket Weld | SW | Socket bore, fillet weld; smooth flow path | Small-diameter, high-pressure (≤NPS 4) |
| Stage | Process | QC Measures |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Raw Material | Bar stock cutting & verification | PMI, mill test certificate review |
| 2. Forging | High-temperature die forging | Forging ratio, temperature monitoring, grain flow inspection |
| 3. Heat Treatment | Solution annealing & quenching | T-T recorder charts, hardness testing, microstructure analysis |
| 4. CNC Machining | Turning, facing, drilling, threading | CMM dimensional inspection, surface roughness measurement |
| 5. Sealing Face | Facing, grooving, RTJ machining | Surface finish verification, serration inspection |
| 6. Surface Treatment | Pickling, passivation, electropolishing | ASTM A967/A380 compliance, ferroxyl testing |
| 7. NDE Inspection | Ultrasonic (UT) & magnetic particle (MT) | ASNT Level II/III, full traceability |
| 8. Marking & Packaging | Permanent marking, crate packaging | Traceability verification, packaging integrity |
Quality certified to ISO 9001:2015, PED 2014/68/EU, and AD 2000-Merkblatt. EN 10204 3.1/3.2 inspection certificates available. Every shipment includes material test reports, dimensional inspection records, NDE reports, and certificate of conformance.
