16Mm Plate Flanges Carbon Steel Pn16

16Mm Plate Flanges Carbon Steel Pn16

Core Features

  • 16mm Plate Thickness Architecture: Precision-machined from robust 16mm thick carbon steel blanks, providing excellent structural rigidity and preventing plate deflection under heavy bolt loads.
  • PN16 Pressure Standard Compliance: Fully rated to handle continuous fluid and gas working pressures up to 16 Bar (approximately 232 PSI) under ambient temperature parameters, meeting standard international utility requirements.
  • Hubless, Ultra-Compact Profile: Features a completely flat, collarless configuration that slides directly over the end of the pipe. This architecture minimizes component weight, slashes raw material volume, and fits easily into tight mechanical footprints.
  • High-Strength Carbon Steel Construction: Forged or hot-stamped from certified structural carbon steel stock (such as St37.2, S235JR, or ASTM A105) to ensure exceptional tensile strength and superior field weldability.
  • Double Fillet Weld Joint Security: Designed for permanent pipeline attachment using both internal and external fillet welds, creating a robust, leak-proof mechanical joint that evenly distributes structural strain.

At Kriloha Gaskets & Hardware, we recognize that modern utility networks require balancing absolute mechanical security with structural value. Our 16mm Carbon Steel PN16 Plate Flanges represent our engineered answer for “High-Density-Joint-Stability” and “Deflection-Resistant-Flatness.” As a leading premier manufacturer and supplier of high-performance flow control elements and pipeline interfaces, Kriloha utilizes automated multi-axis production workflows to ensure that our hubless plate flanges provide superior mechanical longevity.

The engineering of our 16mm plate program is founded on Structural-Uniformity and Sharp-Geometric-Precision. Forged from certified raw carbon steel stock rather than lower-grade cast alternatives, our flanges completely eliminate internal voids, gas pockets, and structural stress concentrations. The heavy-duty 16mm thickness provides the necessary mechanical modulus to comfortably withstand intense bolt-torque demands across the metric bolt circle without bowing, warping, or undergoing structural relaxation over time. At Kriloha, we precision-machine the flat sealing surface—standardized to international standards—and finish them with controlled phonographic serrations that mechanically grip the gasket matrix to resist blowout under sudden system pressure cycles.

Manufacturing and provisioning these critical utility connection pieces involves strict Dimensional Tolerance Checks, Volumetric Material Inspections, and Face Roughness ($R_a$) Calibration. We collaborate directly with your project engineering, procurement, and facility maintenance teams to supply precise internal bores tailored to standard metric pipe outer diameters and specific wall-thickness schedules. By choosing Kriloha Gaskets & Hardware, you are investing in a “Future-Proof” industrial partnership that prioritizes your system’s lifetime reliability through superior carbon metallurgy and micro-tolerance engineering.

Primary Use Cases

  • Municipal Water & Wastewater Distribution: Standard space-saving connection joints for large-scale water treatment headers, municipal pump manifolds, and wastewater filtration networks.
  • Commercial HVAC & Chilled Water Loops: Cost-efficient, highly reliable connections for large-scale industrial heating loops, cooling towers, and commercial building water risers.
  • Factory Compressed Air & Blower Networks: High-density flat interfaces for primary factory loops carrying compressed air, vacuum lines, and inert gas distribution networks.
  • Non-Corrosive Hydrocarbon Transfer: Economical connection joints for hydraulic oil systems, industrial fuel lines, diesel handling networks, and heavy lubrication loops.
  • Prefabricated Modular Process Skids: Compact structural connection rings used to integrate prefabricated manifold piping directly to flat-faced valves, strainers, and storage vessels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What does the “PN16” designation signify for a 16mm thick plate flange?

PN16 stands for Pressure Nominal 16 Bar. At standard ambient reference temperatures, a PN16 flange is rated to operate safely at pressures up to 16 bar (~232 PSI). The “16mm” refers specifically to the structural thickness of the plate disk itself, which is engineered to provide the rigidity needed to maintain a leak-free seal at this pressure tier.

Why specify a hubless “Plate Flange” instead of a traditional hubed Slip-On flange?

Because a plate flange completely lacks a raised collar or hub, it uses significantly less raw material during manufacturing. This makes it a highly compact, lightweight, and cost-effective alternative for standard process networks and utility lines where the extra structural reinforcement of a heavy hub is not functionally required.

What specific welding configuration is required to install this plate flange?

A plate welding flange requires a standard double fillet weld setup for proper installation: one robust fillet weld around the rear side where the plate meets the outer diameter of the pipe wall, and a secondary fillet weld along the inside bore face where the pipe end sits flush with the flat face.

How is this carbon steel plate flange protected against environmental rust during storage?

Because carbon steel is vulnerable to atmospheric oxidation, our high-quality PN16 plate flanges come standard with a protective surface treatment. This typically includes a light yellow or black anti-rust lacquer, a rust-preventative oil finish, or electro-galvanization depending on your long-term storage and field installation environment requirements.

Are Material Test Reports (MTRs) provided with these plate flanges?

At Kriloha Ltd., quality assurance is completely non-negotiable. Every shipment from our facility can be accompanied by comprehensive Material Test Reports (MTRs) confirming exact chemical compositions (Carbon, Manganese, Silicon content), hardness values, yield/tensile strength data, and explicit compliance with international dimensional standards (such as EN 1092-1 Type 01 or DIN templates) to guarantee complete industrial traceability.
