Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 stainless steel slip on flanges are characterized by their high yield strength, which is twice that of the annealed yield strength of typical austenitic stainless steels, like 304 and 316 stainless steel slip on flanges. Because of this, Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 steel are some of the most common grades of duplex used for slip on flanges with Super Duplex 2507 slip on flanges being the more corrosion resistant grade of the two.

Super Duplex 2507 slip on flanges improved corrosion resistance lends itself well too applications prone to stress-corrosion cracking, crevice corrosion, pitting, erosion and general corrosion. Because of the properties of Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steel slip on flanges are often used in chemical processing, petrochemicals, power industry and seawater equipment.

Usage of both Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steel should be limited to temperatures below 570° F as extended elevated temperature exposure can embrittle this material.

Duplex Steel Slip on Flange Features & Benefits

Duplex 2205 and Super Duplex 2507 slip on flanges are similar to the socket weld flange but without the socket shoulder. When using a socket weld flange, the pipe rests against this internal shoulder. Since a slip on flange does not have shoulder, the pipe can slide completely through the flange hub and is free to spin. 

Advantages

• Typically lower in price than weld-neck flange, yet welding costs can be more.
• There is a reduced need to cut the pipe length accurately, making it easier to install.
• The slip on flange is free to spin on the pipe for easy bolt alignment.

Disadvantages

• They require two fillet welds: one fillet weld at the hub of the flange and a second weld at the inside diameter of the flange near the flange face.
• Though they can be used for high temperature and pressure applications, they typically are not as other flange types give a more secure joint.

Duplex & Super Duplex Threaded Flange Features & Benefits

Duplex and super duplex threaded flanges have a tapered female thread to join the male threads of a pipe in order to create a tight seal. This type of flange is most ideal when post weld heat treatment is not possible in hazardous, flammable or explosive applications where welding is too dangerous. Duplex and super duplex threaded flanges are also convenient in pilot processes whose configuration is often changed.

Threaded Flange Advangtages

• The main benefit is that that threaded seal eliminates the need for welding.
• As they do not require welding they save time and money to install.
• Allow for connections to be made in dangerous, explosive applications where welding is not possible.
• Useful connection in materials that are difficult to create a successful and strong weld.
• Ideal for connecting small diameter pipes.
• Systems could be easily reconfigured.

Threaded Flange Disadvantages

• They are not suitable where high temperatures, frequent cyclic conditions or bending stresses are likely in applications.

Duplex Steel Weld Neck Flange Features & Benefits

Duplex weld neck flanges are best for hazardous, high pressure applications. Weld neck flanges are easily identified by their long tapered neck. The inside of the flange is bored to match the inside diameter of the pipe in order to ensure there is no restriction in flow and also to prevent turbulence at the joint. The tapered neck provides thicker metal at the flange joint, while the neck narrows down gradually to meet the pipe where it is butt welded to the pipe. This design helps to transfer stress from the flange to the pipe, as well as diminish stress concentration at the base of the flange connection.

Duplex and Super duplex weld neck flanges are ideal for critical applications involving high pressure, sub-zero and elevated temperatures, as well as in conditions where fluctuations cause pipe expansion/contraction.

Key Feature: Ideal for high presure applications.

Weld Neck Flange Advantages

• Ability to withstand high pressure – since pipe is welded to the neck of the flange, stress is transferred to the pipe.
• The beveled end that, when connected to a pipe, creates a trough for a strong weld.
• Most versatile flange in the ASME stable of flanges.

Weld Neck Flange Disadvantages

• More advanced welding skill is needed for installation. The inside weld must be smooth to reduce friction and the outside weld must meet code criteria.

Uses

• Severe conditions that include high-pressure, high-cyclic and hazardous fluid applications.
• Fitting-to-fitting fabrication where the flange is welded directly to a fitting, such as an elbow, without the need for a short piece of pipe, as would be required with a slip-on flange.

Duplex Bolt Types: Hex Head Bolt, Shoulder Bolt 

Duplex Shoulder Bolt Features and Benefits

Duplex shoulder bolts, also called stripper bolts are a unique fastener with three main parts: head, shoulder, and thread. The head has the largest diameter and is where the torque is applied, typically with a socket driver. The shoulder is smooth and unthreaded, and has a set diameter and length. The shoulder’s role is to act as a shaft or dowel for rotating parts, axles for rolling parts, guides for sliding elements, and pivot points. The final part of a Duplex shoulder bolt is the threaded shaft. The threaded portion of a shoulder bolt has a major diameter slightly smaller than the shoulder diameter.
