Product description
Lap-joint flanges are a specialized type of pipe flange designed to work in conjunction with a loose-fitting stub ring. This configuration allows the flange to slide freely over the stub ring, which is welded to the pipe. This design is particularly advantageous in applications where frequent disassembly is required for maintenance, inspection, or cleaning, as the pipe itself does not need to be rotated or disturbed.
Key Features & Benefits
- Easy Maintenance: The sliding mechanism allows for quick and easy removal of the flange without damaging the pipe or gasket.
- Reduced Wear: Since the flange slides over the stub ring, it reduces wear and tear on the gasket compared to weld-neck or slip-on flanges.
- Material Options: Available in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Duplex, and Alloy grades to suit various corrosive and high-pressure environments.
- Alignment Ease: Facilitates precise alignment of piping components during installation.
Applications
These flanges are widely used in the petrochemical, oil & gas, power generation, and chemical processing industries. They are ideal for high-temperature and high-pressure systems where frequent maintenance is anticipated, such as heat exchangers, reactors, and distillation columns.
