Types Of Metal Flanges

Flanges are used to join tubing, valves, and other industrial machinery together. They make washing, maintenance, and inspections much easier. Flanges in the heavy industry must be carefully selected since they can become a weak point in the system. In India, Sanjay Metal India is recognized as one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of Stainless Steel Flanges. We are an ISO 9001:2008 certified company that has been in business since 2008.

Threaded pipe flanges

Threaded pipe flanges are the specific types of flanges that can be connected to the pipe without welding Threaded flanges are threaded in the bore which matches an external thread on the pipe. The flanges are not suggested for applications for bending stresses, high pressure or high temperatures are being used.

2)Weld Neck Flanges

These flanges are prominent by their protruding necks. The weld neck flanges have the same level and width as the pipe. The flange is considered for many service conditions such as sub-zero or high temperatures and high pressure.

3) Lap Joint Flanges

The lap joint flanges are the sort of slip-on flanges are utilized with the stub end fittings. . These flanges are ideal for piping systems that require regular check-ups and maintenance such as low alloy steel pipes or carbon steel pipes.

4)Orifice Flanges

The purpose of these steel flanges is to provide entry to a line for metering liquids or gases. The orifice flanges are installed jointly with orifice plates or flow nozzles.

5)Slip-on Flanges

The variety of flanges available for purchase. The slip-on flanges have a moderately larger diameter than the pipe, which makes it easy to slip them over the pipe. These stainless steel flanges are filet welded to a position and are ideal for low-pressure applications.

6) Ring-Type Joint Flanges

These flanges are utilized for high pressure and temperature. The ring-type joint flanges can be easily compressed on blind, slip-on or weld neck flange. The flanges help keep away from leaks in pipelines at high pressure and high temperature.

7)Socket Weld Flanges

The flanges are created for use on small diameter and high-pressure piping. The socket weld flanges have internal welds which contribute to their longevity as well as endurance strengths. These flanges are being used in the chemical refinement industry.

8)Blind Pipe Flanges

The blind pipe flanges are without a bore and are used to seal vessel piping systems. These flanges are ideal for piping systems or vessels that require steady inspection. This flange can easily handle high stress caused due to internal pressure.
