About this product
Product information from the supplier.
The Slip-On Flange (SO), engineered in strict accordance with ANSI/ASME B16.5 standards, is a premium structural metal component designed for seamless integration into industrial piping systems. Specifically developed for versatility and ease of installation, these flanges slide over the pipe and are secured with precise fillet welds on both inner and outer surfaces, ensuring a robust, leak-proof seal for critical fluid transport applications.
Manufactured from high-grade carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, our SO flanges deliver an optimal balance of cost-efficiency and mechanical performance. By adhering to rigorous ASME B16.5 and B16.47 specifications, we provide precision-engineered solutions ideal for low to medium pressure systems across the global oil, gas, and chemical sectors, ensuring long-term durability in the most demanding environments.

Key Advantages
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Utilizing ASTM A182 F304/F316 stainless steel ensures maximum stability in pH 2-12 environments and seawater treatment systems.
Rapid Installation
The slip-on design allows for faster alignment and simpler outer fillet welding compared to complex weld-neck types.
Low-Temp Toughness
Alloy Steel (A350 LF2) provides excellent impact energy (≥27J at -46℃) for LNG and liquid nitrogen pipelines.
CNC Precision Machining
Advanced CNC processing ensures extreme sealing face flatness and precise bolt circle diameters for leak-proof joints.
Rigorous NDT Quality
100% Magnetic Particle and Ultrasonic testing eliminates internal defects and potential welding cracks.
Cost-Effective Solution
Reduced material usage and simplified processing make SO flanges the economic choice for Class 600 and below.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary difference between Slip-On and Weld Neck flanges?
Slip-On flanges slide over the pipe and use fillet welds, offering lower costs and easier installation, whereas Weld Neck flanges are butt-welded for higher pressure and temperature resistance.
Q: Which material is best for seawater treatment systems?
Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F304/F316) is highly recommended due to its Cr-Ni alloy composition, which resists acid and alkali corrosion across a pH range of 2 to 12.
Q: How do you ensure the quality of high-pressure flanges?
We employ 100% Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) for neck welds and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for Class 1500 flanges, combined with hydrostatic pressure tests at 1.5x design pressure.
Q: Can Slip-On flanges be used in cryogenic applications like LNG?
Yes, provided they are manufactured from Alloy Steel (ASTM A350 LF2), which offers the necessary low-temperature toughness with impact energy ≥27J at -46℃.
Q: What are the common sealing face types for ASME B16.5 flanges?
Common types include Flat Face (FF) and Raised Face (RF). For Class 600 and above, Male-Female (MFM) or Tongue-Groove (TG) faces are used to enhance sealing stability.
Q: How is the material composition verified for stainless steel flanges?
We use spectral analysis on raw materials to ensure precise alloy percentages, such as verifying that Chromium content is ≥18% for Grade 304 stainless steel.
