BS4504 F316L PN16 BSP Stainless Steel British Standard Flange For Industrial

BS4504 F316L PN16 BSP Stainless Steel British Standard Flange For Industrial

Description

BS 4504 F316L refers to flanges manufactured to British Standard BS 4504 and made from 316L grade stainless steel. These flanges are often used in applications where corrosion resistance is important, such as chemical processing, food processing and marine environments.

316L is a variation of 316 grade stainless steel, the "L" indicating that it has a lower carbon content than standard 316 stainless steel. The lower carbon content helps reduce the risk of intergranular corrosion.

BS 4504 F316L Flange is a specific type of flange that complies with British Standard BS 4504 and is made from F316L grade stainless steel material. This grade of stainless steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in environments where chemical exposure or weathering may be an issue.

Key Features of F316L Stainless Steel:

Corrosion Resistance: It has excellent corrosion resistance compared to other grades of stainless steel, especially in chloride environments.

High Temperature Resistance: It can withstand high temperatures and is suitable for applications involving heat exchangers, boilers and other thermal systems

Durability: Due to its composition, it is very durable and resistant to wear, which makes it a long-term choice for many industrial applications.
