Flanges

Pipe flanges are available as discrete parts for use in joining pipes. The pipe flange is attached permanently or semi-permanently to the end of a pipe. It then facilitates easy assembly and disassembly of the pipe to another pipe flange. 

Pipe flanges are classified according to how they are attached to the pipe.

Types of pipe flange include:

  • Weld neck flanges
  • Socket-welded flanges
  • Slip-on flanges
  • Lapped flanges
  • Blind flanges
