Here is a table comparing SS (Stainless Steel) and MS (Mild Steel) flanges:
| Feature | SS Flanges | MS Flanges |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Stainless Steel (Corrosion-resistant) | Mild Steel (Less resistant) |
| Corrosion Resistance | High resistance to rust and corrosion | Low resistance; prone to rust |
| Temperature Tolerance | Can handle high temperatures better | Lower temperature tolerance |
| Durability | Highly durable and long-lasting | Less durable compared to SS |
| Cost | Generally more expensive | More affordable |
| Applications | Used in corrosive environments | Suitable for less demanding conditions |
| Maintenance | Low maintenance required | Higher maintenance due to corrosion |
| Weight | Generally lighter | Heavier compared to SS |
| Strength | High tensile strength | Good strength but lower than SS |
| Finish | Smooth and polished | Rougher finish |
| Welding Compatibility | Good weldability | Good weldability |
