cess media require the use of special materials, while the flange,
for cost considerations, can be manufactured from stainless steel.
Usually 316/316L stainless steel is used as flange material. The
weld seam used is a double fillet weld between all components.
Note: The main advantage of this design is the cost-saving over a
complete construction from special materials. However, due to the
design, an air gap exists between the stainless steel flange and
the flange disc, which could be detrimental in critical processes.
