We manufacture flanges in a variety of sizes and material standards. We have a large stock of carbon steel, alloy steel and stainless steel flanges. We can also manufacture your specific flange requirements within a short lead time. Changhao is a leading steel flanges exporter and manufacturer in China and we produce most of our carbon steel flanges and stainless steel flanges for export from China to the world.
Steel flanges are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit different applications. Flanges are usually in the shape of a disc and are used to connect two pipes together or to connect pipes to pressure vessels, valves, pumps, integral flange assemblies or other components. Flanges have bolt holes around the rim. The bolts are used to connect two flanges, which are usually attached to the pipe end with a gasket in between.
Flanges come in a variety of shapes, such as threaded (the pipe is screwed onto the flange), weld neck (the pipe is welded to the collar of the flange), socket weld (fillet weld connection), lap joint (connection at the short end used)), sliding, etc. The flange can also be used to cover or close the plate at the end of the pipe. This is called a blind flange. Therefore, flanges are considered to be internal components used to support mechanical parts.
The ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47 codes cover American standard pipe flanges and the EN 1092-1 code covers European steel flanges.
Flanges can be manufactured and designed for specific pressure ratings; 150 lb, 300 lb, 400 lb, 600 lb, 900 lb, 1500 lb and 2500 lb.
