Sell 6BX and 6B Flanges

Description

6BX and 6B Flanges (welding neck flanges, blind flanges, target flanges and test flanges) are fully conformed to API 6A and made of modern alloy steel via advanced manufacturing techniques. They are robust and high cost performance.

6B flanges are of the ring joint type and are not designed for face-to-face make-up. The connection make-up bolting force reacts on the metallic ring gasket

6BX flanges are of the ring joint type and designed with a raised face. Depending on the tolerances, the connection make-up bolting force may react on the raised face of the flange when the gasket has been properly seated. This support prevents damage to the flange or gasket from excessive bolt torque.

6B weld neck flanges conforming to Table *6, Table *7 and Table *8 of API 6A (*9th Edition) are available.

6BX weld neck flanges conforming to Table *2 or Table *3 of API 6A (*9th Edition) are available.

6B blind flanges conforming to Table *6, Table *7 and Table *8 of API 6A (*9th Edition) are available.

6BX blind flanges conforming to Table *6 of API 6A (*9th Edition) are available

Target Flange: a special configuration of blind flange used downstream, facing upstream, to cushion and reduce the erosive affect of high velocity abrasive fluid. This flange has a counter bore filled with lead as illustrated below.

Target Flanges conforming to Table *4 and Table *5 of API 6A are available.

6B test flanges conforming to Table *6, Table *7 and Table *8 of API 6A (*9th Edition) are available.

6BX test flanges conforming to Table *4 and Table *5 of API 6A are available.
