In industrial applications, pipeline systems serve as the circulatory network, carrying vital fluids throughout operations. Traditional connection methods, however, present numerous challenges including maintenance difficulties, precise alignment requirements, and cost control pressures. Addressing these issues, Walmi has introduced an innovative stainless steel stub end solution that promises enhanced efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness for pipeline connections across industries.
Welding has long dominated pipeline connection methods, offering strength but accompanied by significant drawbacks. The process demands specialized labor and equipment, increasing operational costs and complexity. Moreover, welded systems become permanent installations, complicating maintenance procedures that often require cutting and rewelding, generating waste and downtime.
Traditional flange connections, while allowing for disassembly, present their own challenges. Precise bolt hole alignment is mandatory, and misalignment can create system-compromising stresses. The requirement for numerous bolts and gaskets further adds to material expenses and installation complexity.
Walmi's stainless steel stub ends, when paired with lap joint flanges, represent a paradigm shift in pipeline connectivity. The design permits flange rotation while maintaining a secure butt-welded connection to the pipe, significantly simplifying installation and maintenance procedures.
Key advantages of this system include:
Walmi's product line meets rigorous international standards including ASTM A403/ASME SA403 and MSS SP-43. Available materials encompass austenitic grades (304/304L, 316/316L, 321, 347, 310S), duplex (S31803/S32205), and super duplex (UNS S32750) stainless steels, ensuring performance across diverse operating conditions.
Manufacturing precision adheres to ASME/ANSI B16.9 and MSS SP-43 dimensional standards, with beveled ends facilitating proper welding. Standard offerings extend to 80-inch diameters, with custom sizing available. All products carry EN 10204/3.1 certification, validating quality compliance.
Recognizing diverse operational requirements, Walmi provides tailored solutions including material selection, dimensional customization, end preparation variations, and specialized designs for unique pressure, temperature, or chemical resistance needs.
