Taurus Piping Solution manufactures the following backing ring flange types:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plain Backing Ring (Solid Backing Ring)<\/strong> \u2014 a solid ring used where simple support and sealing support is required. Commonly used with stub-ends and lap-joint assemblies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Split Backing Ring (Two-piece \/ Split Ring)<\/strong> \u2014 fabricated in two halves for ease of installation around existing pipelines without dismantling. Ideal for retrofit or maintenance jobs where pipe insertion is impractical.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Loose Backing Flange (Lap Joint Backing Ring)<\/strong> \u2014 a loose, freely rotating flange used with lap-joint stub-ends to permit bolt alignment while the stub-end carries the pressure load.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gasketed Backing Ring<\/strong> \u2014 a backing ring supplied with an integrated or companion gasket seating arrangement for high-integrity sealing where flange face conditions vary.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Welded \/ Machine-Welded Backing Ring<\/strong> \u2014 backing rings that are fully welded or machine-welded to bespoke shapes or support bosses for special piping assemblies or fittings.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Galvanized Backing Ring<\/strong> \u2014 backing rings supplied with hot-dip or electro-galvanized finishes for enhanced corrosion resistance in external or corrosive environments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Split Ring with Locking Feature<\/strong> \u2014 split rings supplied with bolted or pins\/locking options to prevent axial movement after installation (used in rotating service or where vibration is present).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"specs\">Key Specifications<\/h2>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Standards<\/td>\n<td>ASME B16.5 \/ ASME B16.47 dimensions where applicable; custom designs per client drawing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Size Range<\/td>\n<td>Typically from \u00bd&#8221; NB to 48&#8243; NB (or per client requirement)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pressure Classes<\/td>\n<td>Common classes: ANSI 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500 (custom pressure ratings on request)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Face Types<\/td>\n<td>Flat Face (FF) or Raised Face (RF) interfaces to match mating stub-ends or equipment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Production<\/td>\n<td>Forged, machined or cut-from-plate depending on size &amp; design<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Surface Finish<\/td>\n<td>Oil-black, zinc-plated, hot-dip galvanised, epoxy\/FBE, electro-polished (as applicable)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"materials\">Materials &amp; Grades<\/h2>\n<p>We supply backing ring flanges in a wide range of materials appropriate to pressure, temperature and corrosive service:<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"8\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<th>Typical Grades<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Carbon Steel<\/td>\n<td>ASTM A105, ASTM A350 LF1\/LF2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Alloy Steel<\/td>\n<td>ASTM A182 F11, F22, F91 (selected grades)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stainless Steel<\/td>\n<td>SS304 \/ 304L, SS316 \/ 316L, 316Ti, 904L<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Duplex \/ Super Duplex<\/td>\n<td>UNS S31803 (2205), UNS S32750 \/ S32760<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nickel Alloys<\/td>\n<td>Monel, Inconel, Incoloy (specific grades on request)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"manufacture\">Manufacturing Process<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Raw material inspection and chemical verification<\/li>\n<li>Cutting \/ forging \/ forming to required blank<\/li>\n<li>Heat treatment (if required for grade)<\/li>\n<li>CNC machining for bore, face and bolt-hole accuracy<\/li>\n<li>Surface finishing and coating per specification<\/li>\n<li>Marking with heat number, material grade and traceability information<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"inspection\">Inspection &amp; Testing<\/h2>\n<p>All backing ring flanges are subject to documented quality checks and non-destructive tests as requested:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visual and dimensional inspection to ensure fit with mating stub-ends<\/li>\n<li>Spectro \/ PMI for material verification<\/li>\n<li>Ultrasonic testing (UT) and radiography (RT) for critical components<\/li>\n<li>Magnetic particle inspection (MPI) for ferrous materials<\/li>\n<li>Hardness and tensile testing on samples where required<\/li>\n<li>Third-party inspection &amp; EN 10204\/3.1 material certificates available on request<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"packing\">Packing &amp; Forwarding<\/h2>\n<p>Backing ring flanges are packed to prevent mechanical damage and corrosion during shipment.
