We are fabricating flanged connections for one of our customers
 flange dia 350  id220 and thickness is28 mm  is   joined to 220od
8thk pipe     After welding it is observed that out of 6 jobs in 4
jobs the flange has warped in two jobs it is beyond repairs to such a
extent that the face & od to be machined is beyond tolerances (od run
out is 10 mm face is out by 7 mm )
Anticipating this problem we have press  fit the components and made
the arrangements for rapid cooling but still this has happened
Now we need to manufacture 10 more flanged connection of the same
