A pipe flange is an important part of any pipeline system and needs to be high-quality in order to meet the demanding environment these forged components live in. Customizable Excellent pipe flanges are customizable. Because all flanges act as a connection between two pipes, and the varieties of pipes and functions for each of them is nearly endless, they need …
Seamless custom pressure vessel connections have many advantages over purchasing the connection components separately. Here are some of these benefits: Lower Cost Producing one solid part costs less than managing the requisition, purchase and fulfillment of three separate parts. The process is simpler and as a result, the production cost is lower, which is then passed on to you, the …
A pressure vessel is a container, typically a tank, used to contain liquids or gases at pressures extremely different from that outside of the pressure vessel. There are three major components of a pressure vessel: Shell Casing Every pressure vessel components manufacturer knows that the shell casing can be of almost any shape, but they are typically round shapes such …
Blind flanges are used primarily in the oil and gas industries in the construction of pipelines. They have a very simple function: to completely block off a pipeline. How are Blind Flanges Constructed? Blind flanges are solid walls of metal that are created and machined using the same methods as other flanges. This includes the creation of mounting holes around …

The site has been completely redesigned to reflect the advances of online web design, as well as the viewing requirements for mobile devices. The site has an all new look and feel with colorful graphics, improved navigation, and the ability to get a quote from a Forged Components representative at …
Last month in part 1 of the History of Stainless Steel, we covered the details of the invention of stainless steel. This month will cover how it was accepted into wide use within the worldwide market. In the end, Harry Brearley was the first person to market his “rustless steel” as the material for cutlery. Up until this point, knives …
Stainless steel was invented the way most innovations are, by necessity. Rust was always the enemy of steel. Anywhere steel interacted with moisture–and especially salt–created problems such as those encountered in subsea connections manufacturing. Reducing rust and corrosion in gun barrels being a primary motivator of the man usually credited with inventing stainless steel, Harry Brearley of Sheffield, England. In …
Why choose stainless steel for your next high-pressure flange or subsea connections manufacturing project? Aside from being strong, ductile, and resistant to corrosion and extreme temperatures, stainless steel is also trusted in a wide range of industries and applications: Building and Construction Stainless steel has a rich history in architecture and construction, particularly in roofing, facades, handrails, and countertops. The …
If you’re working on an ASME pressure vessel connections forging project or need components for ASME flanges, seamless rolled rings may be perfect for your project. Here are three things you need to know about seamless steel forged rings: How to Manufacture Forged Steel Rings A seamless rolled ring begins as a circular piece of metal that has been cut …
While we’ve previously discussed the types and uses of alloy steel, some steel alloys are more useful for ASME pressure vessel connections forging and design than others. Here are seven alloys that are typically used in custom pressure vessel components manufacturing: Chromium Chromium is one of the most common alloys found in steel. A key component of stainless steel, chromium …
