Duplex and Super Duplex UNS S32205 Lap Joint Flanges
The Duplex and Super Duplex UNS S32205 Lap Joint Flange (LJ Flange) is a unique type of flange
designed to be used in conjunction with a stub end, which is butt-welded to the pipe. The flange
itself is loose, allowing it to spin freely around the stub end. This feature makes the Lap Joint
Flange exceptionally valuable for applications where quick assembly and alignment of bolt holes
are crucial, significantly reducing installation time. Zeron Fasteners manufactures these flanges
using the high-strength UNS S32205 (Duplex 2205) material. Its primary application is in systems
requiring frequent dismantling for inspection, cleaning, or modification, particularly in chemical
and food processing industries. Importantly, only the cheaper stub end component is exposed to the
corrosive fluid, while the reusable Duplex flange provides the necessary mechanical strength and
superior corrosion resistance against external factors.
