Quality inspection for swivel flange
Application and Purpose
The Swivel Flange is designed for use in offshore oil and gas exploration and production, where high pressure and corrosive environments are standard. The use of SDSS UNS S32750 ensures exceptional resistance to pitting, stress corrosion cracking, and general corrosion, making it ideal for extreme environments.
Testing Procedures
To ensure the product meets the client’s requirements and industry standards, it will undergo rigorous testing, including:
1.Hydrostatic Testing:
The flange will be subjected to water pressure up to the maximum working pressure to verify its structural integrity and ensure there are no leaks or material weaknesses.
2.Dimensional Inspection:
The critical dimensions, including bore size, wall thickness, and flange face, will be measured to confirm adherence to API 6A and client specifications.
3.Material Certification:
The material composition will be validated against UNS S32750 requirements to ensure compliance with NACE MR0175.
This swivel flange is a high-performance component meticulously designed and manufactured to meet stringent international standards. Its robust material and precise engineering make it suitable for high-pressure and corrosive applications. With the upcoming hydrostatic testing, we are confident that this product will meet the client’s expectations and provide reliable service in the field.
Accompanied by the product’s outstanding quality and rigorous testing procedures, it reflects our commitment to delivering excellence and supporting our clients in their challenging operational needs.
