Flanges and connections for piping
Friulana Flange, established more than
25 years ago, is a manufacturer and
trader of flanges, connections for piping,
component accessories and mechanical
details according to customer drawings.
The company is also equipped for
the production of tube plates,
quick opening closures, reinforcing
components nozzles and several
components used in heat exchangers
and pressure vessels.
The company is involved in a variety of
fields, including petrochemical, thermo-
hydraulic, mechanical, naval, building,
power generation, pharmaceutical and
feed. The main materials used are
carbon steel, high yield carbon steel,
alloy steel, stainless steel, duplex/
super duplex steel, titanium alloy and
copper alloy.
An R&D division was set up to
spearhead and manage research
activities, and a special works division
was established for the design and
development of special processing and
large diameter flanges. Both branches
have CNC machines equipped with the
latest technologies to carry out turning,
drilling and milling of the flanges. The
Special Division production plant can
manufacture flanges with a diameter
up to 2,300mm and with a maximum
weight of 8,000kg.
The company maintains a well-stocked
warehouse, which has an area of
9,000m
2
and stores more than 4,000
tons of raw material.
Each item sold or kept in stock is
identified by a marking made on the
piece. As well as proving the origin of
the item, the marking enables the entire
history of the individual flange to be
traced, from the base material to the
finished piece.
To avoid finished items rusting during
transport and storage, flanges undergo
a special protection, during which they
are washed, soaked and dried in an
oven. The product is water-soluble and
has no impact on the environment.
Flanges are supplied to the customer
packed on pallets or in wooden boxes,
preferred for export. The entire pallet is
covered with thermo retractable covers
and reinforced with straps to increase
stability.
Each process is monitored and
recorded: every finished flange goes
through checks at receipt of the raw
material, during machining and before
packing.
All products are supplied with a
EN10204 3.1 inspection certificate to
confirm their origin.
In the company’s internal laboratory,
chemical analysis on the products
is carried out using a spectrometer.
The tests are PMI (positive material
identification), and check analysis (to
scan each element of the heat used for a
flange). The laboratory is also equipped
to adjust the control instruments.
All mechanical tests to qualify and check
the raw materials are implemented
through external laboratories.
Non-destructive tests are also performed
with the cooperation of external staff.
If requested by the customer, further
controls can be carried out by third
party inspectors such as RINA, Lloyd’s
Register, Bureau Veritas, ABS, DNV,
SGS, TUV, and national and international
bodies.
