Piping Flanges

Flange solutions for pressure, connection, and project-critical piping systems

A dense array of drilled flanges laid out for checking

ENGIC supplies piping flanges for oil and gas, energy, process, offshore, utilities, infrastructure, water, marine, petrochemical, and industrial applications.

Our flange range supports standard piping connections as well as high-pressure, large-diameter, high-yield, sour service, low-temperature, corrosion-resistant, compact, anchor, and custom project requirements.

Products are selected according to pressure class, size, face type, material grade, dimensional standard, coating requirement, corrosion environment, inspection scope, certification requirement, and project specification.

ENGIC supports clients with flange selection, material alignment, specification review, manufacturer coordination, inspection documentation, certification control, and delivery follow-up.

FIG 01

Attachment types in half-section

Half-section of a weld neck flange℄ PIPEFACE

WN

Weld neck

Tapered hub carries bending back into the pipe and the bore matches pipe ID, so there is no discontinuity at the joint. Cyclic, severe and high-pressure duty, Class 600 upward.

Half-section of a slip-on flange℄ PIPEFACE

SO

Slip-on

Bore is larger than pipe OD; the pipe slides in and is held by a fillet weld inside and out. General service, limited to Class 600.

Half-section of a socket weld flange℄ PIPEFACE

SW

Socket weld

Pipe lands on a machined counterbore shoulder, deliberately set back so the weld is not loaded by thermal expansion. Small bore, 4 in and under, high pressure.

Half-section of a lap joint flange℄ PIPEFACE

LJ

Lap joint

Backing flange is loose and turns freely on a stub end, so bolt holes need no clocking and the flange never contacts the medium. Chosen where a joint is broken often.

Half-section of a threaded flange℄ PIPEFACE

THRD

Threaded

NPT to ASME B1.20.1, no welding at all. Low-pressure utility duty, and areas where hot work is not permitted.

Half-section of a blind flange℄ PIPEFACE

BL

Blind

No bore. Closes off a line, a flanged fitting or a valve, and is the flange used to pressure-test a system before tie-in.

How each flange meets the pipe, and what that choice means for fatigue life, inspection access and installed cost.Geometry per ASME B16.5

Flange facings

Section through a flat face flange jointBORE℄ PIPE

FF

Flat face

Full-face gasket. Classes 150 and 300, and the joint used to meet 125 lb and 250 lb cast iron without cracking it.

Section through a raised face flange jointBORE℄ PIPE

RF

Raised face

The default facing. 1.6 mm rise through Class 300, 6.4 mm above it; serrated concentric finish 125–250 AARH.

Section through a ring-type joint flange jointBORE℄ PIPE

RTJ

Ring-type joint

Metal ring deforms into machined grooves; faces stand off. Specified from Class 600 upward. Groove side wall ≤ 1.6 µm Ra.

Section through a tongue and groove flange jointBORE℄ PIPE

T&G

Tongue and groove

Gasket fully confined radially, so it cannot blow out. High-pressure and critical duty.

Section through a male and female flange jointBORE℄ PIPE

M&F

Male and female

Female recess retains the gasket on its outside diameter. Common on exchanger and vessel covers.

ASME B31.3 does not permit facings of different type to be bolted together. Confirming the facing on both sides of a joint is part of what Engic checks before a purchase order is released.
