CuNi flange Mfg

CuNi flange Mfg

CuNi flange Mfg

(OP)
I'm working on a lubrication system for a US military project and have had a little trouble sourcing 70/30 CuNi flanges, fittings etc. through a mfg that has experience with military projects. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

RE: CuNi flange Mfg

Try one of these suppliers:

www.leebrass.com
www.alaskancopper.com
www.premiercopper.com

You could get forged or cast material depending on how you either spec it or who supplies it. If the material is to be a cast flange, make certain to ask for a weldability test per ASTM B369.

Thanks, now if I can just convince them to send me models so I don't have to recreate everything...

RE: CuNi flange Mfg

Are you involved in the design end? If you are unfamiliar and the project is military, one of the pitfalls you have to be aware of is that the flanges are generally not to B16.5, they are to mil-specs and drawings.

RE: CuNi flange Mfg

Would it be possible to machine these out of plate materials?  Commonly done with steel per AWWA C207.

RE: CuNi flange Mfg

I think you'd need the spec that was called out for the flange. My guess is that machined from plate wouldn't be OK. I'm not familiar with the AWWA C207 spec but think the use of plate for flanges is limited to blind flanges and reducing flanges w/o hubs in B16.5.

I've seen allowances for the use of slip-on flanges made from plate cu-ni but the use of those flanges is limited.
