Nickel Alloy Flanges

KANAKRATNA STEELAGE supplies a wide range of quality industrial forged steel pressure flanges and fittings including slip-on flanges, socket weld flanges, blind flanges and other shapes for connection applications in the oil, gas, chemical, wind, pharmaceutical and other industries, manufactured in accordance with ASTM, ANSI, ASME, API and other engineering standards.

The types of flanges are described and shown below:

WELD NECK RING FLANGE (WNRF):

• Forged Weld Neck Ring Flangeweld neck flange drawing Weld neck flanges are circumferentially welded at the neck where the integrity of the butt welded area can be easily examined by radiography. The bores of both pipe and flange match, which reduces turbulence and erosion inside the pipeline. The weld neck is therefore durable in critical applications.

SLIP-ON RING FLANGE (SORF):

• Forged Slip-On Ring Flangeslip on flange Slip-on flanges are fitted over the pipe and then fillet welded. Slip-on flanges are easy to use in fabricated applications.

BLIND RING FLANGE (BLRF):

• Forged Blind Ring Flangeblind flange drawing Blind flanges are used to blank off pipelines, valves and pumps. They can also be used as an inspection cover. It is sometimes referred to as a blanking flange.

SOCKET WELD RING FLANGE (SWRF):

• Forged Socket Weld Ring Flangesocket weld flange drawing Socket weld ring flanges are counter-bored to accept the pipe before being fillet welded. The bore of the pipe and flange are both the same to provide good flow characteristics.

THREADED RING FLANGE:

• Forged Threaded Ring Flangethreaded flange drawing Threaded flange are referred to as either threaded or screwed. They are used to connect other threaded components in low pressure, non-critical applications. No welding is required.

LAP JOINT RING FLANGE (LJRF):

• Forged Lap Joint Ring Flangelap joint flange drawingLap joint flanges are always used with either a stub end or taft which is butt welded to the pipe with the flange loose behind it. This means the stub end or taft always makes the face. A lap joint is used in low pressure applications because it is easily assembled and aligned. To reduce costs, these flanges are supplied without a hub.
