Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered inlet nozzle or port component integrated into product collection tanks in chemical manufacturing facilities. This component serves as the controlled entry point for raw materials, intermediates, or finished products into the tank, featuring standardized connection interfaces, flow control mechanisms, and sealing systems to ensure leak-free operation, maintain pressure integrity, and prevent contamination during transfer processes.
Working Principle
Operates by providing a sealed, controlled passage for fluid entry into the collection tank. The nozzle/port typically incorporates connection flanges, gaskets, or threaded fittings that mate with piping systems, while internal designs may include flow straighteners, diffusers, or anti-vortex features to minimize turbulence and ensure smooth product introduction without splashing or aeration.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 316L/304L), Hastelloy C-276, PTFE-lined carbon steel, or glass-lined steel depending on chemical compatibility requirements. Materials must resist corrosion from acids, bases, solvents, and high-purity chemicals at operating temperatures up to 200°C and pressures up to 10 bar.
Technical Parameters
  • Leak Rate < 1×10⁻⁶ mbar·L/s helium
  • Nominal Size DN25 to DN200 (1" to 8")
  • Surface Finish Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for sanitary applications
  • Connection Type Flanged (ANSI/ASME B16.5), Threaded (NPT/BSP), or Clamp
  • Pressure Rating PN10 to PN40 (150# to 300#)
  • Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C
Standards
ISO 2852, ASME BPE, DIN 11864

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between flanged and threaded inlet nozzles?

Flanged nozzles provide higher pressure ratings and easier maintenance for permanent installations, while threaded nozzles offer compactness and lower cost for smaller systems. Flanged connections typically use ANSI/ASME standards, while threaded connections follow NPT or BSP standards.

How do I select the right material for chemical compatibility?

Material selection depends on the chemical being handled, concentration, temperature, and purity requirements. Stainless steel 316L is standard for most applications, while Hastelloy or PTFE-lined options are needed for highly corrosive chemicals like hydrochloric acid or chlorine solutions.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
