CARBON STEEL CLADDING NOZZLE FLANGE WNRF SA266 GR.2 SS309L 308L WELD OVERLAY
A nozzle flange is a type of mechanical joint used to connect piping or equipment to a nozzle, typically on a pressure vessel, tank, or reactor. The flange provides a flat surface with bolt holes that allows for a secure and leak-proof connection. This design is crucial in applications involving liquids, gases, or other materials under pressure, ensuring safety and integrity in the system. The size and specifications of the nozzle flange will vary based on the requirements of the system, including pressure rating, material compatibility, and temperature considerations.
Description:
ASTM A266 Grade 2 is a specification for carbon steel forgings intended for use in high-temperature service. This grade is particularly noted for its good weldability and mechanical properties, making it suitable for applications in pressure vessels, piping, and other structural components. It typically contains carbon, manganese, and small amounts of silicon, and it is designed to withstand elevated temperatures while maintaining strength and ductilit.
