Slip-On Flange (Plate)

Plate flange slipped over the pipe and fillet-welded both sides — the economical standard flange.

BoreMachined to clear the ordered pipe outside diameter

Overview

The slip-on flange slides over the pipe end and is fillet-welded on both faces. It is cheaper than a weld neck, easier to align, and perfectly adequate for most low and medium pressure utility and process connections in stainless and alloy service.

Why specify it

Lower cost and shorter lead time than a weld neck at the same pressure class.

The flange can be rotated before welding, which simplifies bolt-hole alignment on site.

Thicker hub than a plate flange gives a stiffer ring and a better distribution of bolt load.

Where not to use it

Not for severe cyclic service, high vibration or where the weld will see repeated bending — the double fillet has lower fatigue resistance than a butt weld.

Above Class 600 or in hydrogen service, use a weld neck.

Materials

  • Austenitic stainless (304/304L, 316/316L, 321)
  • Duplex (2205)
  • Nickel alloys (625, C-276, 400)
  • Carbon steel (A105) for utility service

Applications

Water, air and utility linesLow-pressure chemical serviceTanks and vesselsHVAC and fire-protection piping
Every shipment can be supplied with an EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate, dimensional report and PMI report. Third-party inspection at SGS, BV or TUV can be arranged on request.
