Carbon steel first appeared around the year 500 AD in Damascus steel swords as well as Japanese swords. They were prized for their sharp edges and sturdiness compared to other weapons of the era. The composition of these swords was very similar to modern carbon steel, yet superior in several mysterious ways. It is believed that the first instances of …
Where “standard” weld neck flanges are used extensively for pipes, long weld neck flanges (often abbreviated to LWN) are used in high pressure and high (or fluctuating) temperature situations primarily in the oil and gas industry. The long neck guides the pipe into the flange itself and provides reinforcement that a standard weld neck flange cannot. This reinforcement is very …
The short answer is not a lot. ANSI is an abbreviation for the American National Standards Institute, a non-profit organization composed of members from a wide cross-section of individuals associated with them in academia, government agencies, businesses and organizations that have an interest in establishing engineering standards to ensure that products, services and processes are consistent and predictable for all. …
Carbon steel is one of the oldest and most widely used types of steel in the world. The uses of this carbon steel are largely determined by the trace amounts of carbon infused within the steel during the “smelting” process. The amount of the trace carbon present breaks into the following three classifications: Low carbon steel Medium carbon steel High …
Carbon steel is the most commonly used steel in the world. When carbon is infused into steel, it transforms the properties of the steel, and how it should be used, based on the amount of carbon present in the steel. The lower the carbon content–low-grade carbon steel–is hard, but more malleable than higher grades of carbon steel. Higher carbon content …
Forged flanges combine two separate machinery parts together. They can be an extension to a structure in order to make the object stronger. Industrial flanges have numerous uses including connecting sheets, pumps, pipes and structures that specifically require an intermediate point of connection. Types Of Forged Flanges Stainless steel flanges come in many different types. Each type meets its own …
There are standards or requirements that must be adhered to during the studding outlet manufacturing process. Below are the general standards of the FCI studded outlets: The codes, materials, and bores First and foremost we have ensured that all our outlets are manufactured according to the ASME specifications including the: « Section II « Section VII « Div I « …
A container or a tank where various gasses are stored processes the pressure vessel. An internal pressurization system allows for a different pressure internally than externally. The Components There are three components in a pressure vessel that are considered to be basic – the shell casing, necessary attachments and a base. The other components are considered to mainly include the …
The forgings for carbon steel are a part of our lives whether we are aware of it or not. This particular material has many uses and comes in four grades. Each grade has a different purpose. The aerospace industry uses a process called seamless ring rolling forging. This involves punching a hole into a piece of metal with a good …
