High-Temperature Chemical Applications
These 347H slip-on flanges are primarily utilized in oil refineries and petrochemical plants for high-temperature fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units and hydro-desulfurization equipment. They are a critical component in the production of organic chemicals, particularly where heavy-duty heaters and heat exchangers are involved. In the power generation sector, they are used for steam boiler tubes and high-pressure steam pipes. Because of their excellent oxidation resistance and resistance to polythionic acid stress corrosion cracking, they are also favored in aircraft exhaust stacks and collector rings. Whether used in radiant heaters or high-temperature gaskets joints, 347H flanges provide a secure connection in environments where standard 304 or 316 stainless steels would suffer from intergranular attack at the weld zones.
Material Performance Advantages
- Superior Creep Strength: The high carbon content (H-grade) ensures higher allowable stress at elevated temperatures.
- Elimination of Sensitization: Niobium stabilization prevents chromium carbide precipitation, maintaining corrosion resistance after welding.
- Excellent Ductility: Maintains toughness in high-heat service, reducing the risk of brittle fracture over years of operation.
- Dual Fillet Welds: The slip-on design facilitates strong internal and external welds, ensuring a leak-proof terminal.
