Types of Flanges

Blind Flange

Blind Flange

Blind flanges are solid discs used to block off a pipeline or nozzle. They allow easy access for maintenance and inspection by removing the flange when required.

Deck Flange

Deck Flange

Deck flanges are mounted on structural surfaces and are commonly used in shipbuilding and heavy equipment for securing pipes or equipment.

Lap Joint Flange

Lap Joint Flange

Lap joint flanges are used with stub ends and allow quick alignment adjustments. They are ideal for systems that require frequent disassembly.

Long Weld Neck Flange

Long Weld Neck Flange

These flanges feature a long neck that is welded into the system, providing reinforcement. They are often used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Orifice Flange

Orifice Flange

Orifice flanges are designed with taps for measuring flow rates of liquids or gases using orifice plates. They are widely used in process plants.

Ring Joint Flange

Ring Joint Flange

Ring joint flanges use a metal ring gasket compressed into a groove for a leak-proof seal. They are suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature services.

Slip On Flange

Slip On Flange

Slip on flanges are slipped over the pipe and then welded in place. They are easy to install and cost-effective, making them popular in low-pressure systems.

Socket Weld Flange

Socket Weld Flange

Socket weld flanges have a recessed area where the pipe fits before being welded. They provide a strong connection, especially for small-diameter pipes.

Spectacle Flange

Spectacle Flange

Spectacle flanges consist of two discs connected by a bar — one solid and one with a hole. They are rotated to either stop or allow flow in pipelines.

Weld Neck Flange

Weld Neck Flange

Weld neck flanges feature a tapered hub welded to the pipe, providing excellent stress distribution. They are used in critical, high-pressure environments.
