Flanges

Product Details:

A Plate Flange is a type of flat, circular metal disc with holes drilled around its perimeter, designed to connect pipes, valves, pumps, or other equipment to form a piping system. It is welded directly to the end of a pipe, providing a strong and secure joint. Plate flanges are among the most common flange types due to their simple design, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation.

• Design: Flat, circular disc with bolt holes on the rim.

• Connection Type: Welded to the pipe end.

• Surface Finish: Smooth, raised face (RF), or flat face (FF).

• Pressure Rating: Typically used for low to medium pressure applications.

• Manufacturing Standards: ASME B16.5, DIN, BS, IS, etc.

• Mild Steel (MS)

• Carbon Steel (CS)

• Stainless Steel (SS304 / SS316)

• Alloy Steel

• Galvanized Steel

Material selection depends on the application, fluid type, pressure, and temperature requirements.

• Nominal Diameter (DN): 15 mm to 2000 mm (½” to 80”)

• Thickness: 6 mm to 60 mm (customizable)

• Pressure Classes: PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40 or Class 150, 300, etc.

• Water supply and plumbing systems

• Oil & gas pipelines

• Chemical and petrochemical plants

• Firefighting pipelines

• HVAC and power plants

• General industrial piping

• Simple and economical design

• Easy installation and maintenance

• Can be easily removed and replaced

• Suitable for various pipe sizes and pressure ratings

A MS (Mild Steel) Companion Flange is a type of flange specifically designed to provide a secure and detachable connection between plain-ended pipes or fittings. It is typically welded or threaded onto a pipe and bolted to another flange, valve, or fitting, enabling easy assembly and disassembly of piping systems.Companion flanges are extensively used across industries such as water supply, oil & gas, chemical processing, and industrial piping systems, where reliable, strong, and leak-proof connections are essential. Their design offers flexibility in maintenance, inspection, and replacement without the need for extensive pipe cutting or rework.

• Material: Mild Steel (MS) – Known for good strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance (with appropriate coatings).

• Design: Standard dimensions per industry norms (ANSI, DIN, IS, etc.).

• Connection Type: Bolt-on connection for easy installation and maintenance.

• Versatility: Compatible with various pipe sizes and pressure ratings.

• Durability: Withstands industrial pressures and temperature ranges depending on application.

1. Water Supply Systems:
   Used for connecting pipelines in municipal and industrial water distribution systems, allowing easy inspection and repair of pipelines.

2. Oil & Gas Industry:
   Enables secure connections between pipes, valves, and equipment in upstream, midstream, and downstream oil & gas installations.

3. Chemical Industry:
   Suitable for piping systems carrying chemicals where periodic inspection or replacement of parts is required to maintain system safety and efficiency.

4. Industrial Piping Systems:
   Widely used in factories, power plants, and other industrial setups where process pipelines need to be connected or periodically disconnected for maintenance.

5. HVAC Systems:
   Used in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning pipelines where flexibility for installation and maintenance is critical.

• Easy installation and removal without cutting pipes.

• Cost-effective solution for creating detachable joints.

• Reliable and leak-proof when properly installed.

• Facilitates periodic inspection, cleaning, and system expansion.

• Suitable for moderate temperature and pressure applications.
