A flange is a rim that is utilized to connect, guide, or strengthen two components. They are fundamental components in marine fluid systems. Connections are made by bolting the flange with bolts and a specialized gasket to ensure secure pressure-tight seals.

Socket weld pipe connections are used in high temperature and high-pressure environments. Socket weld pipe connections feature a smooth internal bore sized to match the outer diameter of the pipe. The pipe end is inserted into the socket and then fillet welded around the joint, forming a strong, leak-tight seal. Socket weld connections are popular in smaller sized fittings and are permanent.

Commonly abbreviated as 90/10 CuNi, 90/10 Copper-Nickel is a high-performance alloy comprised primarily of 90% Copper and 10% Nickel. This widely-used alloy provides an effective balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost effectiveness. 90/10 Copper-Nickel is a standard material for a variety of fluid systems that handle seawater - making it essential for marine applications.
