FAQ: Professional FAQ for 3/4 inch black malleable iron floor flange

Technical Questions & Answers

1. What is malleable iron, and how does it differ from ductile iron?

Malleable iron is a cast iron alloy that has been heat treated (annealed) to convert carbon into rounded clusters, making the material less brittle and enabling better machinability and higher impact resistance compared to standard cast iron or ductile iron. It's ideal for threaded fittings due to its toughness and cost efficiency.

2. What industry standards do 3/4 inch black malleable iron floor flange products comply with?

They are typically manufactured to ISO 49, EN 10242, ANSI B16.3, and ASTM A197 standards—ensuring interchangeability, compatibility, and consistent performance globally.

3. What are the main benefits of the black oil/painted finish?

The black finish (oil/paint) offers excellent corrosion resistance for indoor and low-UV environments, protecting the surface from oxidation, and extending the product's lifespan—proven by salt spray test durations exceeding 100 hours (per ASTM B117 testing).

4. Are these flanges suitable for both NPT and BSPT threads?

Yes. 3/4 inch black malleable iron floor flange can be supplied with NPT (American) or BSPT (British/European) thread profiles as per specific project requirements, verified with go/no-go thread gauges for quality assurance.

5. Can the flanges be installed outdoors or in corrosive environments?

With the standard black oil or paint finish, they're suitable for typical indoor environments. For outdoor/marine use, request special zinc/nickel surface finishes for higher corrosion protection (400+ hours salt spray performance possible).

6. What is your process for ensuring product traceability and quality?

Every production batch is marked with traceable codes; dimensional and material tests (XRF spectrometry, hydrostatic, thread inspection) are run in accordance with ISO 9001 and batch records are archived for a minimum of 10 years.

7. How much torque is recommended for flange installation?

Recommended tightening torque is 70-90 Nm for typical applications. Always follow applicable ANSI/ASME/EN piping installation codes to prevent thread deformation or system leaks.
