FAQ

  • The main differences are in pressure rating and wall thickness:
  • Class 900 flanges are suitable for extremely high-pressure environments and have thicker walls.
  • Class 600 flanges are suitable for high-pressure environments and have thinner walls.
  • Maintenance recommendations:
  • Regularly check the tightness of the flange and bolts.
  • Inspect the sealing surface for damage or corrosion.
  • Replace gaskets and bolts periodically in corrosive environments.
