British/South African National Standard (BS 1123/S.A.N.S 1123) stainless steel flanges are manufactured via the forging process, engineered for reliable pipeline connections in South African, Commonwealth, and British-compatible industrial systems. Key specifications and details are as follows:
- Size Range: DN10 – DN600 (Nominal Diameter, compliant with both BS 1123 and S.A.N.S 1123 size standards)
- Pressure Class: Nominal Pressure (PN) 600 kPa – 4000 kPa (equivalent to PN0.6 – PN4.0; in accordance with BS 1123/S.A.N.S 1123 pressure rating requirements; 1 kPa = 0.001 MPa)
- Material Scope: Stainless steel (e.g., 304L, 316L, duplex grades), carbon steel, alloy steel (forged to meet BS 1123/S.A.N.S 1123 material requirements, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance, pressure-bearing capacity, and adaptability to African industrial operating conditions)
- Core Advantages: Forged microstructure delivers high mechanical strength, reliable sealing performance, and dual-standard compatibility (BS 1123/S.A.N.S 1123)—suitable for low to medium-high pressure pipeline systems and corrosive process media.
- Application Scope: Designed for pipelines transporting liquids, particulates, and gases. Widely used in chemical processing, oil refining, boiler systems, power generation, food processing, and other industrial fields requiring standardized pipeline connections, especially in South Africa, Commonwealth countries, and projects adopting legacy British/South African industrial equipment.
