ASME B16.5 Stainless Steel Slip On Flange Manufacturer

Flange connection is to fix two pipes, pipe fittings or equipment on a flange first, and then Flange pads are added between the flange plates and fastened together with bolts to complete the connection

Stainless steel lap joint flange is a flange connection component, which consists of a flange, a flanged short section or a butt welding ring. Among them, the flange is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance, heat resistance and other properties.

Stainless steel lap joint flange is always used with lap joint stub end (a kind of butt welded fitting).A182 F304 forged flanges have great anti-corrosive function,flanges in this material have longer using years than other materials.

Standards and application Referred for WN flange and application

Socket weld (SW) flange is a type of forged flanges,these flanges can socket and wedled with pipes,you could find the flanges specifications in the content below.Stainless steel flanges are popular because the stainless steel has great corrosion resistance so that these flanges can used in some corrosive environments.

A flange can be defined as a method that helps in connecting pipes, valves, etc., to form a full piping system. There are six flange classes ranging from #150 to #2500. Governed by B 16.5 standards, the ASME B16. 5 Class 300 Flange provides a pressure capacity of 300Lb.

Flange provides a long tapered hub for welding to pipes , it is used in high pressure systems and suitable for both cold and hot temperatures.

Stainless steel flange, also called SS flange, it means the material of flange is stainless steel. Common material standards and Grades are ASTM A182 Grade F304/L and F316/L, with pressure ratings from Class 150, 300, 600 etc and to 2500.

Slip-On flanges are commonly lower in price than weld-neck flange.However, customers should bear in mind that this initial cost saving may be diminished by the additional cost of the two fillet welds required for proper installation.

Class 1500 SO flange Flanges have many pressures:CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.Flanges have five face types:RF RTJ FF MF TG. Slip on flanges can slip on the pipes and welding with the pipes.

What is a Weld Neck Flange and its 2 different shapes

Material Grade: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.

Class 300 LAPJ flanges are used with lap joint stub end.The pressures for ASME B16.5 forged flanges including 150LB,300LB,600LB,900LB,1500LB12500LB.

It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of flange, as the flange inner diameter is little bigger than the pipe’s outer diameter, pipe and flange could be connected by lap welding at the top and bottom of the flange. The slip-on flange is a simple and excellent alternative to a weld neck as it does not have a weld bevel, and therefore allows the pipe to be adjusted in length relative to its position of the flange.

Carbon Steel: ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH
Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11 / 12 / 5 / 9 / 91 / 92
Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/304L/304H, 316/316L, 321, 310S, 317,347,904L， 1.4404, 1.4437.
Duplex Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F51, F53, F44

Carbon steel flange, that is, the body material is carbon steel plate or end flange connection. The flanges containing carbon steel are called carbon steel flanges. Common materials are carbon steel ASTM A105 / A105N, ASTM A350 LF2/LF3, ASTM A694 F42 / 46 / 56 / 60 / 65, P235GH, P265GH, P280GH, P355GH. Besides carbon steel flanges, we also supply alloy steel flanges and stainless steel flanges .

The difference between ASME/ANSI and API

The equal cross is one kind of the pipe cross,  the equal cross means all the 4 ends of the cross are in same diameter.
The reducing cross also is called unequal pipe cross , it is the pipe cross which the four branch ends are not in the same diameters.

It is generally used in non-corrosive, non-critical, moderate pressure services. Slip on flanges of Class 150 and Class 300 are most commonly seen in utility engineering. Similar to welding neck flange, the slip on flange conforming to ASME B16.5 may generally be furnished with three facing types: raised face (RF), flat face/ full face (FF), or ring type joint (RTJ).

What is a Weld Neck(WN) Flange and what about its specification and advantages.

150LB threaded flanges are one types of flanges.Other types of flanges are WN,SO,SW,LAPJ,BL.Stainless steel 316L flanges are popular in many corrosive environments because of the excllent corrosion resistance.Flanges have many pressures:CL150, CL300, CL600, CL900, CL1500, CL2500.

ASME B16. 5 pipe flanges: Weld Neck Flange ( WN),Slip-on Flange (SO), Threaded Flange (THD),Socket Weld Flange (SW),Blind Flange (BL),Lap Joint Flange (LAPJ),Plate flange (PL)

Slip on flange, also called SO flange. It’s a kind of flange slides over the pipe with internal design is slightly larger than the pipe. Since the inner diameter of the flange is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe, the SO flange can be directly connected to equipment or pipe by fillet weld at the top and bottom of the flange. It is used to insert the pipe into the inner hole of the flange.

Threaded flange is a non-welded flange that is made by processing the inner hole of the flange into pipe threads and matching with the threaded pipe to achieve connection. The connection method is to match the inner hole of the flange with the thread on the pipe, and then rotate and connect them together.

The specification of ASTM A182 Forged Pipe Fittings includes forged fittings, stainless steel, rolled alloy, forged alloy, pipe flanges as well as high-temperature service. Later then forgings and hot working, it would be cooled down to a certain temperature before heat treatment.

There are Weld Neck Flange ( WN),Slip-on Flange (SO), Threaded Flange (THD),Socket Weld Flange (SW),Blind Flange (BL),Lap Joint Flange (LAPJ),Plate flange (PL). We also supply alloy steel flanges and stainless steel flanges .

600LB SW flanges can socket with the flanges and then welded with the pipes.Large diameter flanges can be series A and series B.ASME B 16.47 A & B are standard for large diameter flanges.
