Pipe Flanges, Flanges Fittings

Slip-on pipe flanges

Slip-on pipe flanges actually slip over the pipe. These pipe flanges are typically machined with an
inside diameter of the pipe flange slightly larger than the outside diameter of the pipe. This allows
the flange to slideover the pipe but to still have a somewhat snug fit. Slip-on pipe flanges are secured
to the pipe with a fillet weld at the top and the bottom of the slip-on pipe flanges. These pipe flanges
are also further catagorized as a ring or a hub.

Weld neck pipe flanges

Weld neck pipe flanges attach to the pipe by welding the pipe to the neck of the pipe flange. The
allows for the transfer of stress from the weld neck pipe flanges to the pipe itself. This also reduces
high stress concentration at the base of the hub of the weld neck pipe flanges. Weld neck pipe
flanges are often used for high pressure applications. The inside diameter of a weld neck pipe flange
is machined to match the inside diameter of the pipe.

Blind pipe flanges

Blind pipe flanges are pipe flanges used to seal the end of a piping system or pressure vessel
openings to prevent flow. Blind pipe flanges are commonly used for pressure testing the flow of
liquid or gas through a pipe or vessel. Blind pipe flanges also allow easy access to the pipe in the
event that work must be done inside the line. Blind pipe flanges are often used for high pressure
applications. Slip on Pipe flanges with a hub have published specifications that range from 1/2" thru
96".

Threaded pipe flanges

Threaded pipe flanges are similar to slip-on pipe flanges except the bore of threaded pipe flange has
tapered threads. Threaded pipe flanges are used with pipes that have external threads. The benefit
of these pipe flanges is that it can be attached without welding. Threaded pipe flanges are often used
for small diameter, high pressure requirements. Slip on Pipe flanges with a hub have published
specifications that range from 1/2" thru 24".

Socket-weld pipe flanges

Socket-weld pipe flanges are typically used on smaller sizes of high pressure pipes. These pipe
flanges are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top.
This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. Slip on Pipe
flanges with a hub have published specifications that range from 1/2" thru 24".
