    Flanges: Types of Pipe Flanges

    Uploaded by

    Vijay Parmar
    This document discusses different types of pipe flanges based on their end connection method. It describes threaded flanges, socket weld flanges, slip on flanges, lap joint flanges, weld neck flanges, and blind flanges. Weld neck flanges provide the highest integrity due to being butt welded to the pipe and are used for high pressure and temperature applications. Other flange types like threaded flanges are for lower pressure uses or provide easier dismantling.

    The key takeaways are that flanges are commonly used for pipe connections and maintenance, and they can be classified based on the type of end connection to the pipe.

    The different types of flanges classified based on end connection are threaded flanges, socket weld flanges, slip on flanges, lap joint flanges, weld neck flanges, and blind flanges.

    Threaded flanges have internal threads that screw onto the pipe. They are suitable for low pressure/temperature applications like air and water utilities.

    Flanges: Types of Pipe Flanges

    In this Presentation you will learn about the different


    type of flanges that are used in piping based on pipe
    connection. There are many ways to classify Flanges. In
    this video you will learn about the classification of
    Flanges based on end connection.

    What are Flanges ?

    Flanges are the second most used joining method for


    connection after welding in piping. Flanges connect the
    pipe with various equipments and valves. It provides
    flexibility for maintenance. Different types of end are
    used to connect flange with pipe depending upon the
    design requirements.

    Types of Flanges.
    Based on the type of connection, flanges are classified as
    Threaded Flanges
    Socket Weld Flanges
    Slip On Flanges
    Lap Joint Flanges
    Weld Neck Flanges
    Blind Flanges

    Threaded Flanges
    Threaded Flanges are also known as Screwed Flange and it
    has a thread inside the flange bore which fits on the pipe
    matching male thread on the pipe. This type of joint
    connection is speedy and simple but not suitable for high
    pressure and temperature applications. Threaded Flanges
    are mostly used in utility services such as air and water.

    Socket Weld Flanges
    Socket Weld Flanges has a female socket in which pipe is
    fitted. Fillet welding is done from outside on the pipe.
    Generally, it is used in small bore pipe and only suitable
    for low pressure and temperature application.

    Slip on Flanges
    Slip on Flanges has small holes with matching outside
    diameter of pipe from which pipe can pass. The Flange is
    placed on the pipe and fillet welding is done from both inside
    and outside. Slip on Flanges is suitable for low pressure and
    temperature application. This type of flange is available in
    large size also to connect large size bore pipe with storage
    tank nozzle.

    Lap Joint Flanges
    Lap Joint Flanges is having two components a stub end and a
    loose backing flange. Stub end is butt welded to the pipe and
    backing flange freely move over the pipe. The backing flange
    can be made of a different material than a stub end material
    and normally of the carbon steel to save the cost. Lap Joint
    Flanges is used where frequent dismantling is required and
    space is constrained.

    Weld Neck Flanges
    Weld Neck Flanges are mostly widely used flanges in process
    piping. It gives the highest level of joint integrity due to butt
    welded with a pipe. These types of flanges are used in high
    pressure and temperature applications. Weld Neck Flanges
    are bulky and costly compared to other flanges.

    Blind Flange
    The Blind Flange is a blank disc with bolt holes. These
    types of flanges are used with other type of flange to
    isolate the piping system or to terminate the piping as an
    end. Blind Flanges are also used as manhole cover in the
    vessel.
