Slip-On Flanges
Slip-on flanges are slipped over the pipe and welded both inside and outside, offering sufficient strength and leak prevention. They are a cost-effective alternative to weld neck flanges, requiring less precision in pipe cutting.
These flanges are preferred for their ease of installation and lower cost, making them ideal for low to moderate pressure applications in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and construction.
Slip-on flanges are designed for straightforward installation, sliding over the pipe and secured with internal and external welds to ensure a robust, leak-proof connection. Their cost-effectiveness and reduced need for precise pipe length cutting make them a popular choice over weld neck flanges in less demanding applications. While not suited for high-stress environments, slip-on flanges provide reliable performance in systems with moderate pressure and temperature requirements.
Slip-on flanges are manufactured to meet industry standards, ensuring compatibility and performance in various piping systems.
