a Slip On flange pressure is of the order of two-thirds that of Welding Neck flanges
The connection with the pipe is done with 2 fillet welds, as well at the outside as also at the inside of the flange.
The X measure on the image, are approximately:
Wall thickness of pipe + 3 mm.
This space is necessary, to do not damage the flange face, during the welding process.
A disadvantage of the flange is, that principle always firstly a pipe must be welded and then just a fitting. A combination of flange and elbow or flange and tee is not possible, because named fittings have not a straight end, that complete slid in the Slip On flange.
We have adopted advanced production equipment and technologies to manufacture our carbon steel pipe fitting and forged pipe fitting which can not only improve product quality, but also save raw materials. Our products have high strength, good toughness and resistance to corrosion.
