Mechanical treatments:
• Machining of gasket faces of RF flanges to "flat face" with a "finish" of Ra = 3,2–12,5 micrometer (=125 – 500 microinch AARH)
to ASME/ANSI B 16.5a and B 46.1–1985.
• Machining of gasket faces of flanges to a "finish" of Ra = 4,0 - 6,3 micrometer (= 160 - 250 microinch AARH) as per ANSI/ASME
B 46.1 – 1985.
• Machining of gasket faces of flanges to "smooth finish" of Ra = 3,2 - 6,3 micrometer (= 125 – 250 microinch AARH) according to Shell
specification 76/001. Machining with a toolradius of 0,8 mm / 0,35 - 0,45 mm.
• Mechanical treatment of only partially machined ASME / ANSI flanges, such as:
Internal machining the entire height according to ASME/ANSI B16.5-1988 and B16.5a- 1992 up to a specified schedule.
Root face machined in accordance with ASME/ANSI B16.5-1988 fig. 8. Gasket face to be treated to the desired finish according to
ASME/ANSI B 16.5-1988 table 5.
• Internal machining flanges on the entire height in accordance with ASME/ANSI B 16.5 – 1988 and machining the bevelling/ root face
according to ASME/ANSI B 16.5 – 1988 fig. 8
• Machining DIN welding neck flanges with extra strong S-size viz.:
Internal drilling of the entire height up to a specified wall thickness; machining the gasket face to a finish of Ra = 3,2 - 6,3 micrometer
(= 125-250 microinch AARH); and machining root face according to DIN 2559 part 1 05-1973 form 22.
Apart from the above-mentioned treatments we can carry out various other mechanical treatments.
