Industrial Flanges: Types, Grades & Selection Guide
Flanges are critical pipe connection components that allow for easy assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of piping systems. They are used wherever pipes, valves, pumps, and equipment need to be securely connected.
Types of Flanges
Weld Neck flanges offer the highest integrity for critical service. Slip-On flanges are economical and easy to align. Blind flanges seal pipe ends. Socket Weld flanges suit small bore high-pressure lines. Lap Joint flanges allow rotation for bolt alignment. Spectacle blinds isolate sections for maintenance. Ring Joint flanges are used in high-pressure oil & gas service.
Pressure Ratings
Flanges are rated from Class 150# (low pressure) to Class 2500# (extreme pressure). The class determines the wall thickness, bolt circle, and number of bolts required for the connection.
Material Grades
Carbon Steel (ASTM A105), Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F304/F304L/F316/F316L/F321/F347), Alloy Steel (ASTM A182 F5/F9/F11/F22/F91), Duplex Steel (UNS S31803/S32750), and Nickel Alloys.
