Abstract

Connecting pipe systems and pressure vessels requires bolted flanged joints. One of the most frequent reasons why bolted flanged joints leak is corrosion of the flange surface. This research investigates the corrosion resistance of composite bolted flanges made of Momordica angustisepala fiber (MAF) and breadfruit seed-shell particles (BFSAp). The result shows 100% polarization resistance with a corrosion rate of 0.00 mil per year was obtained for the developed composite. This shows that the corrosion problem of a metallic bolted flange can be reduced using the developed composite.
