Our industrial flanges are engineered to provide a secure, leak-proof connection point for piping systems, pressure vessels, and heavy machinery. Manufactured through high-quality forging or precision plate cutting, these components are designed to facilitate easy assembly, maintenance, and inspection of critical fluid and gas infrastructure.


1. Common Flange Types

We offer a complete range of configurations to suit various structural and pressure requirements:

Weld Neck (WN):Ideal for high-pressure and extreme temperature applications.

Slip-On (SO):Easy to install; preferred for low-pressure systems.

Blind (BL):Used to seal the end of a piping system or vessel opening.

Socket Weld (SW):Best for small-diameter, high-pressure piping.

Threaded (TH):For systems where welding is not permitted (NPT/BSPT).

Lap Joint (LJ):Used in systems requiring frequent dismantling for cleaning.

Spectacle Blind / Figure-8:For permanent or temporary isolation of pipelines.


2. Technical Specifications & Pressure Ratings

Size Range:1/2" to 120" (DN15 – DN3000).

Pressure Classes (ASME):Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500.

Pressure Ratings (PN/DIN):PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN64, PN100.

Flange Facings:Flat Face (FF), Raised Face (RF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ), Tongue & Groove (T&G).


3. Material Grades & Standards

We provide flanges in a wide spectrum of materials to match your pipeline's chemical and mechanical needs:

Carbon Steel:ASTM A105, A105N, ST37.2, C22.8.

Stainless Steel:ASTM A182 F304/304L, F316/316L, F321, F310S, F347.

Alloy Steel:ASTM A182 F1, F5, F9, F11, F22, F91.

Low Temperature:ASTM A350 LF2, LF3.

Duplex Steel:ASTM A182 F51, F53, F55, S31803, S32205.

High Yield:ASTM A694 F42, F52, F60, F65, F70.


4. International Manufacturing Standards

All flanges are produced and strictly tested in accordance with global industry requirements:

ASME/ANSI B16.5 / B16.47(Series A & B)

DIN / EN 1092-1(European Flange Standard)

JIS B2220(Japanese Industrial Standard)

MSS-SP-44 / API 6A(High-Pressure Pipeline Flanges)


5. Quality Assurance & Surface Protection

Manufacturing Process:100% Forged (Closed Die or Open Die) to ensure superior grain structure.

Testing:Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), and Hardness Testing.

Surface Treatment:Anti-rust Oil, Yellow/Black Painting, Hot-dip Galvanized, or Cold Galvanized.

Certification:Fully compliant withMTC (EN 10204 3.1); third-party inspection (SGS, TUV, BV) available upon request.

Packaging:Securely packed in seaworthy plywood cases or on treated wooden pallets with protective caps for the flange faces.

Frequently Asked Questions


1. When do buyers usually choose flanged connections instead of welded-only joints?

They usually do so when maintenance access, assembly convenience, or equipment connection makes removability valuable. The decision is often operational as much as technical. Typical long-tail contexts include ASME B16.5 flange supply, weld neck flange for high-pressure piping, and carbon steel flanges for oil and gas projects.

2. Why can flange prices vary a lot even for the same nominal size and class?

Differences often come from facing type, material route, testing scope, machining quality, and whether the quote reflects project-grade documentation or routine stock supply. Buyers are often comparing more than a shape and pressure class. This often becomes obvious in ANSI flange supply for process piping where facing type, class, and document scope change the quote more than buyers expect.

3. What is the most useful customer question before selecting a flange type?

A practical question is whether the connection is for field assembly, equipment tie-in, or a section that may need future access. That usually helps narrow the most sensible flange style. That question is especially useful in equipment tie-ins, field assembly joints, and pressure piping connections for process plants.

4. What do buyers most often overlook when buying flanges?

They often overlook facing compatibility, bolt pattern coordination, and how the flange will match the connected gasket and pipe system. Those details can delay installation more than the flange type itself. Installation delays are common in weld neck and slip-on flange orders where facing compatibility and gasket matching were not confirmed early.
