DIN 16 Flange

DIN 16 stainless steel flanges are designed for bolted tube and pipe connections where a DIN pattern flange specification is required. They provide a strong, reliable, and serviceable joint that allows pipe sections, valves, and equipment to be assembled securely while still enabling future disassembly for inspection, maintenance, or system modification. This makes DIN 16 flanges a practical choice for both fabrication and ongoing plant maintenance across a wide range of industries.

These flanges are supplied in a satin finish and are available in both Grade 304 and Grade 316 stainless steel, allowing material selection to be matched to the operating environment. Grade 304 stainless steel is commonly used for general service applications, offering good corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and cost efficiency in most indoor and light outdoor conditions. Grade 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which significantly improves resistance to chlorides and aggressive substances, making it the preferred option for marine, coastal, chemical, and wash-down environments where corrosion risk is higher.

The satin finish provides a clean, uniform appearance that is suitable for both industrial and architectural installations. DIN 16 flanges are manufactured to recognised DIN dimensional standards, ensuring compatibility with other DIN-rated flanges, gaskets, fasteners, and pipework. When installed correctly with appropriate sealing materials, they provide a secure, leak-resistant joint capable of handling typical pressures associated with DIN 16 systems.

Correct sizing is essential for reliable performance. The flange size should be selected to match the tube or pipe outside diameter listed, ensuring proper alignment, sealing integrity, and long-term durability. DIN 16 stainless steel flanges are widely used in process piping, water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage installations, chemical plants, and general stainless steel fabrication. For applications requiring corrosion resistance, serviceability, and compliance with DIN standards, DIN 16 stainless steel flanges provide a proven and industry-standard solution.
