An SS 310 / 310S anchor flange is a forged ring welded into a pipeline to fix it to a structure, made from SS 310 / 310S to ASTM A182 F310. Anchor flanges restrain pipelines against thrust and movement — at pump stations, river crossings and pig traps. They are made to project drawings.

When to Choose an Anchor Flange
Anchor flanges restrain pipelines against thrust and movement — at pump stations, river crossings and pig traps. They are made to project drawings.
- Made to drawing
- Usually weld neck on both sides
- Often large and heavy forgings

SS 310 / 310S Anchor Flange: Why 310S for anchor flanges
Anchor flanges restrain pipelines against thrust and movement — at pump stations, river crossings and pig traps. They are made to project drawings. In SS 310 / 310S, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Stainless flanges are chosen where carbon steel would rust or contaminate the process. SS 310 / 310S is picked for furnaces, burners and heat treatment at high temperature. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Furnace parts — Muffles, retorts, radiant tubes and conveyor belts. |
| Bolting | A193 B8 or project-specified bolting |
| Welding to carbon steel | ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ER310 (AWS A5.9) |

Other SS 310 / 310S flanges
SS 310 / 310S Anchor Flange — questions buyers ask
What information is needed to quote an anchor flange?
The project drawing with pipe size, wall, design loads and material, plus the inspection plan.
Can SS 310 / 310S anchor flanges be welded to carbon steel?
Yes — ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel.
Which standard covers SS 310 / 310S anchor flanges?
The material is ASTM A182 F310; dimensions follow Project drawing. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a SS 310 / 310S anchor flange?
The alloy price, the size and pressure class, quantity, and the testing and documents required. Send your list and we quote the same working day.
What documents do you supply?
EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates available on request / as specified in the PO; dimensional reports as required. PMI can be arranged depending on product and requirements, as specified in the PO.
