Q1: What is the difference between 310S and 316L stainless steel for high-temperature filtration?
A: 310S stainless steel is specifically formulated for extreme high-temperature service with continuous operation up to 1150°C (2100°F) and peak temperatures up to 1200°C (2192°F). Its high chromium (25%) and nickel (20%) content provides superior oxidation resistance, carburization resistance, and thermal cycling stability . 316L stainless steel is optimized for corrosion resistance in chemical environments with excellent pitting resistance due to its molybdenum content, but its high-temperature capabilities are limited to approximately 700°C continuous service . For applications above 600°C with oxidizing or carburizing atmospheres, 310S is the superior choice..
Q2: What are the advantages of a flange connection over other connection types?
A: Flange connection offers several unique advantages:
- Superior sealing strength under high pressure—bolted connections prevent leakage better than threaded or O-ring seals
- High-temperature tolerance—no elastomeric seals to degrade
- Corrosion resistance—the all-metal interface withstands aggressive media
- Vibration resistance—bolted flanges remain secure under mechanical shock
- Hazardous media safety—ideal for pipelines handling flammable or toxic fluids
Flanged interfaces typically use standard flange sizes and mounting hole patterns, such as ANSI or DIN standards.
Q3: What flange standards are available?
A: We offer multiple flange configurations to match your pipeline specifications:
- ANSI/ASME: Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500
- DIN: PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN64
- JIS: 5K, 10K, 20K, 30K
- Custom: Designed to your specific bolt pattern, facing, and dimension requirements
Major connections include universal interface for filter elements (215, 220, 222, 226, etc.), flanged joint, and other special interfaces that can be customized.
Q4: What materials are available for the sintered powder?
A: Standard materials include 304 and 316L stainless steel. For aggressive environments, we offer special alloys including Titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel upon request. 316L contains molybdenum for enhanced pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, making it the preferred choice for chloride-rich environments.
