Seamless Pipes

All our flanges are manufactured using best grade raw materials and high end technology in complete accordance with production standards of international quality.

Our collection of Seamless Pipes pipes combines outstanding corrosion resistance property of copper and nickel by means of additional benefit of better potency.

ERW (Electrical Resistance Welding) pipes are manufactured by cold forming of steel coil into a round cylindrical shape. In the initial times it was done with the low frequency A.C. current to heat the edges.

Elbow Fitting for Pipes

An elbow is installed between two lengths of pipe (or tubing) to allow a change of direction, usually a 90° or 45° angle; 22.5° elbows are also available. The ends may be machined for butt welding, threaded (usually female), or socketed. When the ends differ in size, it is known as a reducing (or reducer) elbow.

Pipe Flanges Manufacturer in India - Apex Engineering

Flanges are pipe fittings that are used to connect pipes or fittings together to perform different functions. They have a raised part so that they could be attached well to the other component either by welding or by bolting. Mild Steel Flanges are common in usage as they provide a medium range of strength and corrosion resistance in a balance.

A ms flange is a protruded ridge, lip or rim, either external or internal, that serves to increase strength (as the flange of an iron beam such as an I-beam or a T-beam); for easy attachment/transfer of contact force with another object (as the flange on the end of a pipe, steam cylinder, etc., or on the lens mount of a camera); or for stabilizing and guiding the movements of a machine or its parts (as the inside flange of a rail car or tram wheel, which keep the wheels from running off the rails). The term "flange" is also used for a kind of tool used to form flanges.

A flange can also be a plate or ring to form a rim at the end of a pipe when fastened to the pipe (for example, a closet flange). A blind flange is a plate for covering or closing the end of a pipe. A flange joint is a connection of pipes, where the connecting pieces have flanges by which the parts are bolted together.

Although the word flange generally refers to the actual raised rim or lip of a fitting, many flanged plumbing fittings are themselves known as 'flanges':

Common flanges used in plumbing are the Surrey flange or Danzey flange, York flange, Sussex flange and Essex flange. Surrey and York flanges fit to the top of the hot water tank allowing all the water to be taken without disturbance to the tank. They are often used to ensure an even flow of water to showers. An Essex flange requires a hole to be drilled in the side of the tank.

There is also a Warix flange which is the same as a York flange but the shower output is on the top of the flange and the vent on the side. The York and Warix flange have female adapters so that they fit onto a male tank, whereas the Surrey flange connects to a female tank.

The pipe flanges or ms flange are the second most used joining method after welding. They are used when joints need dismantling. It provides flexibility for maintenance. Flange connects the pipe with various equipment and valves. Breakup flanges are added in the pipeline system if regular maintenance is required during plant operation.

In this article, the following types of flanges are covered.

Threaded Flanges

Socket-Weld Flanges

Slip-On Flanges

Lap Joint Flanges

Weld Neck Flanges

Blind Flanges

Reducing Flange

Expander Flange

Flangeolet / Weldoflange /     Nippoflange

 A flanged joint is composed of three components; flanges, gaskets, and bolting; which are assembled by pipefitter. Special controls are required in the selection and application of all these elements to attain a joint, which has acceptable leak tightness.

 However, it is not advisable to use a flange connection in underground piping when it supposed to be buried. The flange is also the most common source of leak and fire in a process plant. There are a variety of flanges available to suit the requirements. A flange can be classified in several alternate ways based on the following:

1.     Types of Connection

2.     Flange facing Types

3.     Pressure-Temperature Ratings

4.     Material Types

 Threaded Flanges

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

Threaded Flange mostly used in     utility services such as air and water

It is not suitable for high     presser and temperature applications

It also available in limited     Size of NPS 4” and below

Threaded Flanges can be FF or     RF

It is a Low-cost flange. 

Socket-Weld Flanges

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

Socket-Welded Flanges can be FF     or RF

The cost of flange and     fabrication is moderate.

 Slip-On Flanges

Slip-On flange has a hole with matching outside diameter of pipe from which pipe can pass. The flange is placed on pipe and fillet welded from both inside and outside. Slip-On Flange is suitable for low pressure and temperature application.

This type of flange available     in large size also

It can be FF or RF

The cost of flange and     fabrication is moderate.

Lap Joint Flanges

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

The backing flange can be of a     different material than stub material and normally of the carbon steel to     save the cost.

This flange provides better     joining due to butt-weld as compared to a socket and threaded type flanges

Not suitable for small size,     Costly components, and fabrication as compared to threaded, slip-on, and     socket flange.

Lap flange provides connection     flexibility as you can freely rotate the flange on the pipe. It is used     where frequent dismantling is required, and space is constrained.  

Weld Neck Flanges

Weld neck flange is the most widely used type 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 application. Weld neck flanges are Bulky & costly with respect to other types of the flange.

High skill is required for     fabrication and also required more space to accommodate in the piping     system due to the long hub.

Weld Neck Flange is available     in all sizes & it can be FF, RF or RTJ type

You can see the Weld Neck     flange welded with pipe

Blind Flanges

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

Reducing Flange

Reducing flange is used in place of a standard flange to allow for a change in pipe size. This flange eliminates the need for a standard reducer in piping.  The flange consists of one specified diameter with a smaller diameter bore size.

Except for the bore and hub dimensions, a reducing flange has dimensions of the standard pipe flanges size and is considered an economical means to make a pipe size transition.

These flanges are available in weld neck, slip-on, and threaded end types. Reducing flanges are an economical way to make transitions between pipes of different sizes, however, due to high-pressure loss, they are rarely used in piping. ASME B16.5 covers the dimensions of reducing flanges.

Expander Flange

It is similar to a weld neck flange but increases the size of the pipe to the first or second larger size. It is an alternative to using reducer and weld neck flange. Useful for connecting to valves, compressors, and pumps.

These flanges are specially designed. Dimensions of the weld neck are in line with the connecting pipe, other dimensions are in accord with standard ASME B16.5 flanges.

Flangeolet / Weldoflange / Nippoflange

Flangeolet is a combination of olet (mainly weldolet or nipple) and flange. As you can see in the image that hub length is longer like long neck weld flange. It is a 90 Degree branch connection use for high-pressure piping.

It reduces the two weld joints than the traditional Olet + Pipe + Flange connection and one weld joint in case of Olet + Flange connection. You can see the image of the flangeolet branch.

Types of Flange Based on the Face

Depending on the flange facing Types, it can be further classified as

1.     Flat Face (FF)

2.     Raised Face (RF)

3.     Ring Joint (RTJ)

4.     Tongue and groove (T&G)

5.     And Male and Female type

Flat Face

As the name suggests, the flat face flange has a flat face. Flat face flanges are used when the counter-flanges are flat face. This condition occurs mainly in connection to Cast Iron equipment, valves, and specialties. Full face gasket is used when a flat face flange is used.

Raised Face

Raised face flange has a small portion around the bore is raised from the face. The gasket seat on this raised face. The height of the raised face depends on the flange pressure-temperature rating that is known as a class of the flange. For 150# & 300# height of the raised face is 1/6” and above 300# it is 1/4”. The inside bore circle type of gasket is used with a raised face flange.

RTJ Face

Ring joint type face flange has a specially designed grove in which metal gasket seat. This type of flange is used in high pressure and temperature services.

Flange Materials

Flanges are manufactured from following materials

Carbon     steel

Low     alloy steel

Stainless     steel

Mild     steel

Combination     of Exotic materials (Stub) and other backing materials

The list of materials used in manufacturing are covered in ASME B16.5 & B16.47.

ASME     B16.5 -Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings NPS ½” to 24”

ASME     B16.47 -Large Diameter Steel Flanges NPS 26” to 60”
