TYPES OF STAINLESS STEEL FLANGES
2
INTRODUCTION
A Flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves,
pumps and other equipment to form a pipework
system. It also provides easy access for
cleaning, inspection or modification. Flanges are
usually welded or screwed into such systems and
then joined with bolts. Stainless Steel Flange
Stainless steel is one of the most popular
metals used today. This metal scores over
several other metals due to its physical
properties including good corrosion resistance,
durability, etc. Various types of industrial,
commercial, and residential items are created
using this metal.

Weld Neck Flanges
These flanges are distinguished by their
protruding necks. The weld neck flanges have the
same bevel and thickness of the pipe. This flange
is considered for severe service conditions such
as sub-zero or high temperatures and high
pressure.
4
Slip-On Flanges
These are the most affordable varieties of
flanges available for purchase. The slipon
flanges have a slightly larger diameter than the
pipe, which makes it easier to slip them over the
pipe. These stainless steel flanges are fillet
welded to a position and are ideal for
low-pressure applications.
5
Blind Flanges
The flanges are designed without a bore, and are
used to seal vessel openings or piping systems.
These flanges are ideal for piping systems or
vessels that require regular inspection. The
blind flanges can be supplied with or without
hubs.
6
Threaded Flanges
These types of flanges are used for special
applications and can be easily assembled without
welding. Stainless steel threaded flanges are
compatible with pipes with external threads. The
flanges are not recommended for applications
where bending stresses, high pressure or high
temperatures are involved.
7
Orifice Flanges
The function of these steel flanges is to provide
access to a line for metering liquids or gases.
The orifice flanges are installed with orifice
plates or flow nozzles.
