The main question is: why is the flange in the right diagram “stainless steel or carbon steel”? Was it a mistake in the formatting? Have I misunderstood again? Does the right diagram represent: Case 1: Stainless steel flange + stainless steel inner tube + stainless steel gasket + carbon steel pipe cap + carbon steel sleeve; Case 2: Carbon steel flange + stainless steel inner tube + stainless steel gasket + carbon steel pipe cap + carbon steel sleeve? My understanding of the left diagram is as follows – is that correct? Case 1: Stainless steel flange + stainless steel inner tube + stainless steel pipe cap + carbon steel sleeve. Case 2: Carbon steel flange + carbon steel inner tube + carbon steel pipe cap + carbon steel sleeve
In my personal understanding, the use of shims is intended to address electrostatic corrosion between the stainless steel inner tube and the carbon steel tube cap.
