Description

Product Detail

Monel slip on flange is a pipe flange with a bore slightly larger than the pipe outside diameter, allowing the pipe to slip into the flange before fillet welding at the hub and back. It provides economical installation, good alignment and dependable sealing performance in low to medium pressure systems, while selected sizes and designs are also used in more demanding corrosive environments. Monel alloys are especially valued for excellent resistance to seawater, salt solutions, alkalis and many reducing chemicals.

SASA FLANGE supplies Monel slip on flanges in standard and customized sizes with controlled raw materials and strict inspection. Available services include chemical analysis, mechanical testing, dimensional inspection, PMI testing, sealing face verification and full heat number traceability. EN 10204 3.1 certificate is available for project and export requirements.

Product Inspection

1. Chemical Composition Inspection

Chemical analysis is carried out to verify the nickel, copper and other alloying elements meet the required Monel grade specification. Spectrometer or laboratory testing is used on incoming raw materials and, where required, finished products. This inspection helps ensure corrosion resistance, alloy conformity and reliable performance in demanding marine and chemical environments.

2. Mechanical Properties Testing

Mechanical testing is performed according to the applicable material standard and project requirement. Tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness are reviewed to confirm the flange material meets expected service conditions. For Monel grades, test results are especially important for offshore, pressure piping and other applications requiring both corrosion resistance and adequate mechanical integrity.

3. Dimensional Inspection

Dimensional inspection checks outside diameter, bore, thickness, bolt circle, bolt hole diameter, hub dimensions and facing details against ASME, EN, DIN, JIS, GB or approved drawings. Sealing face finish and drilling accuracy are also verified. This ensures proper fit-up with mating flanges, correct pipe insertion and secure assembly during field installation.

4. PMI Testing and Hydrostatic Testing

Positive Material Identification is used to confirm the supplied flange is the specified Monel alloy and to prevent mixed materials in project supply. Hydrostatic testing can be arranged when required as part of assembly or customer inspection plans. SASA FLANGE provides EN 10204 3.1 certificate, supporting MTC documentation, PMI records and full traceability for export projects.
