Both Monel 400 and K500 flanges are nickel-copper alloys with excellent corrosion resistance, but Monel K500 has higher strength and hardness due to age hardening. Monel 400 is a solid solution strengthened alloy, while Monel K500 is a precipitation strengthened alloy. K500 also has higher resistance to sour gas environments and maintains its strength in corrosive conditions.
What is the ASTM standard for Monel 400 flanges?
ASTM B564 Monel 400 slip-on flanges allow seamless pipes to be slipped on, simplifying positioning. Flanges are available in two types: welded flanges and threaded flanges. Monel 400 alloy threaded flanges are suitable for pipes with threads.
