An SS 904L swivel ring flange is a flange with a rotating ring that allows bolt holes to be aligned after welding, made from SS 904L to ASTM A182 F904L. 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 904L Swivel Ring Flange: Why 904L 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 904L, 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 904L is picked for dilute sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid and chloride-bearing cooling water. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Sulphuric acid plants — Coolers, piping and tanks for dilute sulphuric acid. |
| Bolting | as the project specifies |
| Welding to carbon steel | ER309L (or E309L electrode) is the usual filler when joining it to carbon steel |
| Matching filler | ER385 (AWS A5.9) |
