Socket Weld
Socket Weld Flange
> Socket weld flanges feature a socket- like recess on the inner bore for welding with pipes.
> They are ideal for small-bore piping systems and high-pressure applications.
> Socket weld flanges provide leak-proof connections and are easy to install and weld.
Blind
Blind Flanges
> Blind flanges are solid disks used to block off a pipeline or to create a dead end.
> They are commonly used for pressure testing, inspection, and maintenance of piping systems.
> Blind flanges are available in various materials and sizes to suit different applications.
Weld-Neck
Weld-Neck Flanges
> Weld-neck flanges feature a long-tapered neck that transitions smoothly to the pipe.
> They provide excellent structural integrity and are suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
> Weld-neck flanges are welded to both the pipe and the hub of the flange, ensuring a strong and reliable connection.
Slip-On
Slip-On Flanges
> Slip-on flanges have a slightly larger bore diameter than the outer diameter of the pipe.
> They are slipped over the pipe and then welded in place, providing easy alignment and installation.
> Slip-on flanges are commonly used in low-pressure applications and systems with frequent assembly and disassembly.
Threaded
Threaded Flanges
> Threaded flanges feature internal threads that allow them to be screwed onto the pipe end.
> They are suitable for low-pressure applications and are commonly used in small-diameter piping systems.
> Threaded flanges provide a secure and reliable connection without the need for welding.
Lap Joint
Lap Joint Flanges
> Lap joint flanges consist of two parts: a stub end and a backing flange.
> They The stub end is welded to the pipe, while the backing flange slides over the pipe and is free to rotate.
> Lap joint flanges are used in systems requiring frequent dismantling or where alignment of bolt holes is critical.
Orifice
Orifice Flanges
> Orifice flanges are designed for flow measurement applications using orifice plates.
> They feature a small-bore hole or orifice that is positioned concentrically with the pipe bore.
> Orifice flanges allow for accurate measurement of fluid flow rates and are commonly used in process industries.
Expander
Expander Flanges
> Expander flanges are used to increase the bore size of a pipeline or to connect pipes of different sizes.
> They feature a tapered inner bore that gradually expands to accommodate larger pipe diameters.
> Expander flanges provide a smooth transition between pipe sections and minimize turbulence in the flow.
