An SS 304 swivel ring flange is a flange with a rotating ring that allows bolt holes to be aligned after welding, made from SS 304 to ASTM A182 F304. Swivel ring flanges speed up subsea and offshore tie-ins and riser connections, where rotating the whole pipe to line up bolt holes is not possible.

SS 304 Swivel Ring Flange: Why 304 for swivel ring flanges
Swivel ring flanges speed up subsea and offshore tie-ins and riser connections, where rotating the whole pipe to line up bolt holes is not possible. In SS 304, 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 304 is picked for general corrosion resistance, food, water and architectural work. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Food & dairy — Tanks, piping and equipment that must be cleaned daily. |
| B16.5 material group | 2.1 |
| Bolting | ASTM A193 B8 studs with A194 8 nuts |
| Welding to carbon steel | ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ER308 / ER308L (AWS A5.9) |

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiSS 304 Swivel Ring Flange — questions buyers ask
Where are swivel ring flanges used?
Mainly in subsea and offshore pipelines, risers and spools where alignment in place is difficult.
What pressure rating does a SS 304 swivel ring flange have?
It depends on class and temperature. SS 304 forgings are in ASME B16.5 material group 2.1; read your class column in that group's table at the design temperature.
Can SS 304 swivel ring 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 304 swivel ring flanges?
The material is ASTM A182 F304; dimensions follow ISO 27509 / project specs. Always state both on your purchase order, with the edition if your project specifies one.
What decides the price of a SS 304 swivel ring 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 mill certificates as standard, 3.2 with third-party inspection on request, plus dimensional and PMI reports.
