ASTM B564 UNS N04400 Weld Neck Flange
ASTM B564 UNS N04400 welding neck flanges are wrought nickel-copper alloy (Monel 400) flanges designed for welding pipes. They offer excellent strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making them particularly suitable for use in seawater and chemical environments. These flanges are essential for high-pressure, high-temperature, and hazardous applications in the marine, chemical, and offshore industries. Their specific sizes and pressure ratings are defined by standards such as ANSI B16.5.
What is ASTM B564 UNS N04400 material?
ASTM B564 UNS N04400 flanges, also known as Monel alloy 400, are a nickel-based alloy with a certain amount of copper added. ASTM B564 UNS N04400 flanges typically exhibit high tensile strength over a wide temperature range, up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 477 degrees Celsius).
