Flange Weight Chart – Udhhyog’s Handy Reference
Flange weight is an essential factor in planning and managing industrial projects, especially for piping systems and structural installations. Accurate weight calculations help ensure proper support, alignment, and compatibility with connected components. At Udhhyog, we provide a detailed flange weight chart to simplify your decision-making and ensure seamless integration in your projects.
Why Flange Weight Matters
Structural Integrity: The weight of the flange influences the load-bearing capacity of the connected system.
Cost Calculation: Helps estimate transportation and installation costs.
Ease of Installation: Heavier flanges may require specialized equipment for lifting and assembly.
Compatibility: Ensures the flange weight aligns with pipeline or system specifications.
Flange Types and Their Average Weights
Below is an overview of the average weights for common flange types:
Mild Steel (MS) Flanges
MS flanges are lightweight and suitable for general-purpose applications.
6-inch MS Flange: 3.5 kg
12-inch MS Flange: 10.5 kg
18-inch MS Flange: 18.7 kg Explore MS Flanges
Galvanized Iron (GI) Flanges
GI flanges have a zinc coating that adds slightly to their weight.
6-inch GI Flange: 3.8 kg
12-inch GI Flange: 11.2 kg
18-inch GI Flange: 19.4 kg View GI Flanges
Stainless Steel (SS) 304 Flanges
SS 304 flanges are slightly heavier due to their high-grade material.
6-inch SS 304 Flange: 4.2 kg
12-inch SS 304 Flange: 12.0 kg
18-inch SS 304 Flange: 20.5 kg Browse SS 304 Flanges
Stainless Steel (SS) 316 Flanges
Known for superior corrosion resistance, SS 316 flanges have a similar weight profile to SS 304.
6-inch SS 316 Flange: 4.3 kg
12-inch SS 316 Flange: 12.5 kg
18-inch SS 316 Flange: 21.0 kg Check Out SS 316 Flanges
Factors Influencing Flange Weight
Material Composition: Heavier materials like stainless steel weigh more than mild steel.
Size and Thickness: Larger diameters and thicker flanges naturally weigh more.
Coating and Surface Treatment: Galvanization or other coatings can add marginal weight.
