Flanges Beyond API 6A Specs

Complete range of industrial-grade flanges engineered for every pressure class, temperature range, and application requirement

All Flange Types (19)

Flange Image

Weld Neck Flange

Tapered hub design reduces stress concentration in the weld. Most common flange type for high-pressure applications and thermal cycling conditions. Superior strength compared to slip-on flanges.

Flange Image

Slip-On Flange

Pipe slides over flange hub then welded on both sides. Lower cost than weld neck flanges. Suitable for low-pressure and non-critical applications. Easier installation but slightly weaker design.

Threaded Flange

Internal threads engage with pipe threads. No welding required, simplifying installation. Limited to low and medium pressure applications. Common in small-diameter piping systems.

Socket Weld Flange

Pipe socket into flange hub and fillet welded. Compact design ideal for small-diameter, high-pressure piping. Single fillet weld at the pipe OD. Superior to threaded for higher pressures.

Lap Joint Flange

Pipe overlaps flange hub and is welded on one side only. Uses a backing ring inside the pipe. Cost-effective for frequent disconnection requirements. Lower strength than weld neck.
