Duplex Flanges Overview
Duplex flanges are made from duplex stainless steel material that combines the best properties of austenitic & ferritic steels. This unique microstructure of duplex flanges has features like excellent corrosion resistance, high strength & good weldability. These flanges are magnetic, work hardenable & are used in high-pressure, high-temperature industrial applications such as chemical plants, offshore oil rigs & marine systems.
There are several types of duplex flanges available, including:
- Slip-On Flanges – Allow pipes to slide in for easy alignment and welding.
- Blind Flanges – Used to close off pipe ends securely.
- Spectacle Blind Flanges – Used for maintenance and flow control.
- Welding Neck Flanges – Suitable for high-stress applications.
Duplex steel flanges typically conform to standards like ASTM A182 , ANSI B16.5 with pressure ratings & sizes ranging from NPS ½ to NPS 24. The material offers a minimum yield strength of 450 MPA & tensile strength of 620 MPa. Duplex steel flanges should be used at temperatures below 570°F to avoid embrittlement. Due to their lightweight design, precise dimensions & reliable performance, they are used in valve fittings, shafts, couplings & pressure vessels.

Duplex Steel Flange Thickness Calculation as per ASME B31.3 and UG-34
The wall thickness of these flanges plays a critical role in ensuring structural integrity & safe operation. As per ASME B31.3 Section 304.5.2, the flange thickness can be calculated using guidelines from ASME Section VIII, Division 1, UG-34.
Formula for Minimum Thickness ™:
The minimum required thickness for flat, unstayed circular flanges (blind flanges or covers) is calculated using:
tm = [Formula based on UG-34], where:
- d = Flange diameter (short span, per UG-34 figure)
- C = Factor based on attachment type and weld strength (e.g., C = 0.3 for welded designs)
- hG = Gasket moment arm – radial distance from bolt centerline to gasket reaction line
- E = Joint efficiency (per ASME Table UW-12)
- P = Internal design pressure
- S = Maximum allowable tensile stress (per UG-23 stress tables)
- W = Total bolt load applicable to circular flanges
The final thickness should include manufacturing tolerances and must not be less than the calculated minimum ™ to ensure compliance and safety under pressure.
Duplex Stainless Steel Flange Pressure Rating
Duplex stainless steel flanges offer high-pressure ratings suitable for demanding applications. They typically conform to ASME standards, handling pressures up to Class 2500 based on size, temperature, and design.

Thermal Conductivity of Duplex Steel Flanges
Duplex Stainless Steel (DSS) flanges have moderate thermal conductivity, typically around 15 W/m·K. This property balances heat transfer efficiency and resistance to thermal stress in high-temperature industrial systems.
Heat Treatment of Duplex Flanges
TDuplex stainless steels flanges undergo solution annealing between 1020–1100°C followed by rapid cooling. Proper heat treatment enhances corrosion resistance, restores mechanical properties, and prevents intermetallic phase formation.
