In Industrial piping systems, Flanges play a critical role in connecting pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. They provide easy access for cleaning, inspection, and modification. At Forxar Industries Pvt Ltd., We offer a complete range of high-performance flanges that meet the toughest international industry standards like ANSI-API-BS-DIN-JIS etc.
Let’s explore the types of flanges and why industries across the globe trust Forxar.
Types of Flanges Offered by Forxar:
1. Socket Weld Flange
Designed for small-diameter, high-pressure piping. The pipe is inserted into the socket dia provided in the flanges and welded on the outside. Ideal for hydraulic and steam lines.
2. Blind Flange
A solid disk used to close off pipelines, valves, or pressure vessel openings. It’s essential for pressure testing and future expansion if any.
3. Weld Neck Flange
Known for its long tapered hub, it’s welded to the pipe for superior strength. Used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
4. Slip-On Flange
Easier to install than weld necks flanges these flanges are slipped over the pipe and then fillet welded, hence suitable for low-pressure systems.
5. Threaded Flange
Also called screwed flanges, these are used without welding. Best for low-pressure, non-critical systems where welding is not possible.
6. Lap Joint Flange
Used with stub ends, these flange rotate freely on Pipe O.D. Hence these flange are perfect for systems that require frequent dismantling and maintenance during shut down period.
7. Orifice Flange
Designed with taps for measuring flow rates. Often used with flow meters in process control and instrumentation pipelines.
8. Expander Flange
Used to increase the size of the pipe at the connection point. Hence saves space and eliminates the need for separate reducers and welds.
9. Reducer Flange
These Flanges are exactly opposite of Expander Flanges; it reduces pipe size. Hence used for connecting different pipe sizes without using additional fittings.
