Types of common flanges according to ASME/ANSI B16.5

Types of common flanges according to ASME/ANSI B16.5

---

✅ 1. Weld Neck Flange

📐 It has a long neck that is tilted on the tube to reduce stress. Ideal for high pressures up to 5000 psi.

---

✅ 2. Slip-On Flange

🔧 Slid on the pipe and welded inside and out. Easy and cheaper to install, but less bearing than a welded neck.

---

✅ 3. Socket-Weld Flange

ً The tube is inserted into the cavity and then only meated outward. Suitable for small pipes and high pressure. Cavity may cause moisture to accumulate.

---

✅ 4. Threaded Flange

🔩 fixing to tie my coil without welding. Ideal for low pressure systems or welding is prohibited.

---

✅ 5. Lap-Joint Flange

♻️ Used with Stub End to facilitate repeated unpacking. Not only suitable for low pressure.

---

✅ 6. Blind Flange

⛔Hard drive without opening is used to close pipes or for testing and pressure purposes.

---

🛠️ Specialized extras:

Long Weld-Neck Flange: A long welded neck for high-pressure and thermal applications.

Reducer/Expander/Swivel/Orifice/Nipo Flange: for precise and specific industrial purposes.

Vacuum Flanges (KF/QF, ISO, CF): For low pressure, laboratory operators and blanks.

---

🏷️ Specifications and categories:

ASME B16.5: Covers up to NPS 24 and Class 150–2500.

ASME B16.47: Tubing over NPS 26.

DIN/PN/ISO 7005: applied in Europe, with limited ANSI compatibility.

✅ Important recommendations from Pipe Line DZ:

✔️ Choose the type of flask according to pressure, temperature, and installation method (welding or coil).
✔️Make sure the face of the cup is compatible (Raised, Flat, RTJ).
✔️ Check the material of the cup and the allowed pressure before installation.

🧩 خلاصة:

The six essential types (neck, slip, plug, spin, interlock, blind) form the backbone of any tubing system.
صة Other types provide custom solutions.
📐 Your adherence to ASME B16.5 and ISO 7005 ensures compliance and safety.
