What are Flanges? Different Types of Flanges & Flanges Manufacturer

A pipe flange interfaces piping and parts in a piping framework by utilization of bolted connections and gaskets. Most ordinarily used flanges are slip on flange, socket weld flange, weld neck flange, threaded flange, blind flange and lap joint flange (RTJ Flange).

This kind of connection in a pipe flange takes into account simplicity of dismantling and partition for repair and consistent support and maintenance. Most normal particular for carbon steel and stainless steel flange is ANSI B16.5/ASME B16.5.

Metal flanges are ordinarily utilized for commercial, institutional and industrial application. Steel pipe flanges are accessible in variety of styles and pressure weight classes. Metal flanges are arranged from 150 to 2500 # rating. In addition to indicating pressure weight class, certain flanges, for example, weld neck flange and socket weld flange likewise require determining the pipe schedule. This guarantees the pipe bore will match the bore of the weld neck or socket weld flange.

Sandco Metal Industries is a leading flanges manufacturer and supplier in India. We supply forged and in addition plate flanges everywhere throughout the world. We manage flanges produced using different evaluations or grades of materials; in any case, the most usually utilized materials are stainless steel, composite steel, carbon steel, and nickel alloys. We stock flanges in standard sizes as extensive as 48 in. We can likewise make custom flanges according to client's determinations.

There are various flanges standards to be discovered around the world. To permit simple usefulness and between variability, these are intended to have standardised measurements. Basic world guidelines standards incorporate ASA/ANSI/ASME (USA), PN/DIN (European), BS10 (British/Australian), and JIS/KS (Japanese/Korean).

Generally these are tradable as most local standards have been adjusted to ISO models, however some neighborhood norms still vary (e.g. an ANSI/ASME spine won't mate against an ISO flange). Further, a number of the flanges in every standard are partitioned into "weight classes", enabling flanges to be equipped for taking diverse weight pressure evaluations. Again these are not by and large exchangeable (e.g. an ANSI/ASME 150 won't mate with an ANSI/ASME 300).

Below are the types of Flanges

The most used flange types in petro and chemical industry are:

1. Weld Neck / WNRF Flanges
2. Slip On Flanges / SORF Flanges
3. Socket Weld / SWRF Flanges
4. Lapped Joint Flange
5. Threaded Flanges
6. Blind Flange / BLRF Flange

Most used flange types in petro and chemical industry. All types except the lap joint flange are provided with a raised flange face.

Special flanges

Except the most used standard flanges, there are still a number of special flanges such as:

1. Orifice flanges
2. Weld Neck / WNRF Flanges
3. Weldoflange/Nipoflange
4. Expander flange
5. Reducing flange
