“Elite Flange: Precision, Strength, and Reliability in Every Connection.”
Understanding Flange Types
Flanges play a crucial role in connecting pipes, valves, and other equipment in various industries. Choosing the right flange ensures the durability, efficiency, and safety of your piping system. Here are five primary types of flanges and their applications:
1. Weld Neck Flange – High-Pressure Performance
A weld neck flange (WN flange) is designed for high-pressure and high-temperature environments. Its long tapered hub provides strength and resistance to dishing, making it ideal for applications such as:
- Oil and gas pipelines
- Power plants
- High-pressure vessels
2. Long Weld Neck Flange – Stability for Critical Connections
A long weld neck flange (LWN flange) is an extended version of the weld neck flange, often used in extreme temperature and pressure conditions. It is widely applied in:
- Boiler manufacturing
- Petrochemical industries
- Cryogenic applications
3. Blind Flange – Reliable Pipe Sealing
A blind flange (BL flange) is a solid plate used to close off the end of a piping system, allowing for easy maintenance and pressure testing. This type is commonly used in:
- Chemical processing plants
- Water treatment facilities
- Pressure testing systems
4. Socket Weld Flange – Compact and Secure
A socket weld flange (SW flange) is designed for small-diameter, high-pressure piping where a smooth internal bore is required. This flange type is best suited for:
- Hydraulic systems
- Industrial cooling systems
- Steam pipelines
5. Threaded Flange – Easy Installation Without Welding
A threaded flange (TH flange) is ideal for low-pressure systems and areas where welding is not feasible. It is often used in:
- Fire protection systems
- Plumbing networks
- Gas distribution lines
