Haihao Group expands business with Qatar as a key partner in the belt and road initiative

As a significant partner in the Belt and Road Initiative, Qatar has become an important market for Haihao Group. In recent years, we have expanded our business operations extensively in the region. Our piping system products are widely utilized in various pipeline projects throughout Qatar, demonstrating our commitment to supporting infrastructure development in the country.

In mid-July, we received an urgent order from one of our esteemed Qatari clients. The project requires an additional batch of flanges to be delivered by early August. The specific order includes over 100 pieces of 6″ ASME B16.5 slip-on (SO) flange, ASTM A105, with a Raised Face (RF) finish. The client has specified that the flanges must be packaged in wooden crates to ensure safe and secure transportation.

ANSI B16.5 A105 RF forged slip on flanges

The ASME B16.5 slip-on (SO) flange is a crucial component in many piping systems. This type of flange is designed to slide over the end of the pipe and then welded both inside and outside to provide sufficient strength and prevent leakage. The following are key features of the 6″ ASME B16.5 SO flange ASTM A105 RF:

Material: ASTM A105 is a specification for carbon steel forgings for piping applications. It is known for its strength and durability, making it suitable for a variety of high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

Design Standard: ASME B16.5 specifies the dimensions, tolerances, materials, and pressure-temperature ratings for pipe flanges and flanged fittings. This standard ensures compatibility and interoperability in pipeline systems.

Raised Face (RF): The RF design increases the surface area for sealing, which improves the sealing ability of the flange when bolted to another RF flange or a flat-faced flange. This feature is critical in high-pressure applications where leak prevention is essential.

Size: The 6″ dimension indicates the nominal pipe size for which the flange is suitable, ensuring a perfect fit and ease of installation within the specified piping system.

Additionally, the surface of the flanges must be coated with a matte paint for extra protection and aesthetic appeal.

Haihao Group is committed to meeting the stringent demands of our clients by ensuring timely delivery and maintaining the highest quality standards. Our team is working diligently to fulfill this order, adhering to the client’s requirements and specifications. This order exemplifies our dedication to excellence and our ability to respond swiftly to the needs of our customers.

We are proud to support Qatar’s infrastructure projects and look forward to continuing our successful partnership with Qatari businesses. For more information about our products and how we can meet your project needs, please visit our website or contact our sales team.
