A flange is an external or internal rib, or rim (lip), for strength, as the flange of an iron beam or Ibeam (or a T-beam); or for a guide, as the flange of a train wheel; or for attachment to another object, as the flange on the end of a pipe, steam cylinder, etc, or on the lens mount of a camera. Thus a flanged rail is a rail with a flange on one side to keep wheels, etc., from running off. The term "flange" is also used for a kind of tool used to form flanges
Weld Neck Flanges are drilled(machined) with the wall thickness of the flange having the same dimensions of the matching pipe, the lighter the pipe is, the larger the bore, conversely, the heavier the pipe, the small the bore, they are normally used for highpressure, cold or hot temperature.
We produces a complete line of API flanges to API-6A, including Weldnecks, Blinds, and Companion Flanges. They are produced from Product Specification Level 1 through Product Specification Level 3 in the appropriate materials required by the specification. Any other special material requirements are available upon request!
A large raw material forging inventory is maintained and available for your requirements. Specialty forgings are available from our approved forging vendors.
Full Material Test Reports and any Additional Testing Certificates are available on all products. Additional test certificates to include, UT, MPI/WFMPI, individual hardness tests, and hydro tests when required.
Please contact us on any of your API flange requirements. |
