Duplex and Super Duplex UNS S32205 Weld Neck Flanges
The Duplex and Super Duplex UNS S32205 Weld Neck Flange (WN Flange) is characterized by a long, tapered hub that transitions the thickness of the flange to the thickness of the pipe, which is then joined via a single butt-weld. This design is superior for applications involving high pressure, sub-zero temperatures, and high temperatures, as it minimizes stress concentration and provides exceptional reinforcement against pipe expansion and contraction. Zeron Fasteners manufactures these flanges from Duplex 2205 (UNS S32205), which provides approximately double the yield strength of standard austenitic stainless steels and outstanding resistance to chloride stress corrosion cracking and pitting. They are essential in severe service environments like nuclear power, chemical processing, and large-scale industrial pipelines, guaranteeing a reliable, high-integrity, leak-free performance joint.
