“Connecting the Future with Precision and Quality”
In the world of piping and plumbing, flanges play an essential role in ensuring the integrity and reliability of the systems. Whether in industrial plants, oil rigs, or commercial buildings, flanges are the vital components that allow for secure connections between pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment. At Elite Piping, we pride ourselves on producing high-quality flanges that meet the diverse needs of our global clientele.
What are Flanges?
A flange is a mechanical component used to connect pipes, valves, and other piping system components. They are typically round with holes for bolts, which are used to secure the flange to another flange or the pipe itself. Flanges provide a way to join piping systems without welding, allowing for easier maintenance, disassembly, and future upgrades.
Types of Flanges We Offer
At Elite Piping, we manufacture a wide variety of flanges to accommodate different industrial requirements. Each type serves a specific purpose and is designed to handle varying levels of pressure, temperature, and chemical resistance. Below are some of the most common types we produce:
- Weld Neck Flanges Weld neck flanges are designed for high-pressure applications and offer excellent durability and resistance to stresses. They are commonly used in pipelines that carry high-pressure fluids, where strength and reliability are critical.
- Long Weld Neck Flanges A variation of the standard weld neck flange, the long weld neck flange features a longer neck to provide additional strength and support in critical applications. These flanges are ideal for environments that experience extreme pressures and temperatures.
- Blind Flanges Blind flanges are used to seal the end of a pipe or vessel. They are flat with no holes and are typically used in systems where future access or changes may be needed. Blind flanges provide a secure and tight seal for the piping system.
- Socket Weld Flanges Socket weld flanges are used in smaller, high-pressure piping systems. They are welded to the pipe and then bolted to another flange, providing a smooth and robust connection. Socket welds are ideal for systems with small pipe diameters and require resistance to high pressure.
- Threaded Flanges Threaded flanges are used when welding is not possible or preferred. The flange is threaded internally to fit a pipe with an external thread, allowing for an easy connection without the need for welding. These flanges are ideal for smaller diameter pipes and low-pressure applications.
