Description
Our 150LBS Stainless Steel 316 Flanges with Female NPT Threads are designed for high-performance applications requiring durability and resistance to corrosion.
Crafted from premium 316 stainless steel, these flanges offer excellent resistance to harsh environments, including chemicals and high temperatures.
The female NPT thread ensures secure and leak-free connections, making them ideal for piping systems in industries such as chemical, marine, and food processing.
With a pressure rating of 150LBS, they are engineered to withstand demanding conditions while providing a long-lasting, reliable seal.
The pressure rating of 150LBS (150 Class) flanges typically refers to a maximum pressure that the flange can safely withstand at a given temperature.
For 150LBS flanges, the pressure rating varies depending on the material and temperature, but for general reference, it is approximately:
At 100°F (37.8°C): 285 PSI / 19.7 BAR
At 200°F (93.3°C): 250 PSI / 17.2 BAR
At 400°F (204°C): 175 PSI / 12.1 BAR
At 600°F (315°C): 100 PSI / 6.9 BAR
These values can fluctuate slightly based on specific standards or materials, but the 150LBS class is designed to handle moderate pressure applications.
The adventage of using NPT thread:
NPT threads feature a tapered design, meaning they tighten as they are screwed together, creating a tight, leak-free seal as the threads engage.
This makes them ideal for creating pressure-tight joints.
NPT threads rely on the metal-to-metal contact and the tapered design to form a seal, often making them easier to install in high-pressure applications.
