Products: Why Use Forgings
Benefits of a forged product
- Lower overall cost
- Increased production capacity
- Reduced inventory cost
- Reduced QA cost
- Reduced record keeping –one part – one source – one MTR
- Improved vessel appearance –no weld/grinding at flange/pipe interface –repad often eliminated
- Superb grain flow for product strength and wear control
- Engineered to withstand stresses from bolting and internal pressure
- Quality by design
- Consistent ID
- Integrally self-reinforced, Flange and the barrel are integral
- Custom sizes and ready-to-weld configurations per customer requirement
- Instrumentation accessibility
- Shipped product is ready for installation
- Engineered and manufactured to Code
- Reduced installation procedures
- Reduced bill of material for purchasing and traceability
Compared to a Fabricated Connection which has:
- Discontinuity in the grain flow
- Additional components required
- Additional procurement and procedures
- Additional welding
- Additional testing and verification
- Additional documentation requirements
