Loose flanges EN 1092-1 Type 02 forged in 304 stainless steel: the new Intertubi product

Intertubi is expanding its range with the new EN 1092-1 Type 02 loose flanges forged in 304 stainless steel, a solution designed for industrial applications that require reliability, strength and dimensional compliance with European standards.

Loose flanges are an essential component in piping systems, as they allow pipes, fittings, valves and equipment to be connected, facilitating assembly, maintenance and replacement operations.
 

Compliance with EN 1092-1 Type 02

EN 1092-1 Type 02 loose flanges are manufactured in accordance with one of the most widely used reference standards in the industrial piping sector. Compliance with EN 1092-1 ensures dimensional compatibility and component standardisation within plant systems.
Type 02 identifies a loose flange designed to be used in combination with compatible components, such as collars or stub ends, allowing a practical and versatile connection. This configuration is particularly appreciated when hole alignment needs to be facilitated during installation.

304 stainless steel: strength and long service life

The new Intertubi flanges are manufactured in 304 stainless steel, a material widely used in industrial plants thanks to its good corrosion resistance, mechanical stability and ease of cleaning.
304 stainless steel is suitable for numerous application sectors, including general plant engineering, the food industry, light chemical applications, water treatment and process lines where a reliable and wear-resistant material is required.

Forged flanges for high performance

Manufacturing by forging helps obtain a solid, compact component suitable for demanding operating conditions. Forged stainless steel flanges offer good mechanical properties and greater structural homogeneity compared with other manufacturing processes.
This makes forged loose flanges an ideal choice for installations where safety, sealing performance and operational continuity are essential factors.

Advantages of Type 02 loose flanges

Type 02 loose flanges in 304 stainless steel offer several technical and practical advantages. The flange can rotate freely before tightening, simplifying the correct positioning of the bolts and reducing assembly times.
This feature is particularly useful in complex plants, where precision, installation speed and ease of maintenance can make a real difference. In addition, the use of stainless steel ensures high durability even in demanding industrial environments.
EN 1092-1 Type 02 loose flanges forged in 304 stainless steel are suitable for numerous fields of use. They can be used in industrial plants, fluid distribution lines, water treatment systems, food processing plants, chemical plants and process networks.
Thanks to their versatility, they represent a practical solution for those looking for standardised, resistant components that can be easily integrated into existing systems.
