Flanges Supplier — Gujarat, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Assam & Arunachal Pradesh

Looking for a reliable Flanges supplier for your pipeline and process piping projects? We manufacture and supply a complete range of ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47 pipe flanges — including weld neck, slip-on, blind, socket weld, threaded, lap joint, and reducing flanges — to EPC contractors, refineries, petrochemical plants, and industrial procurement teams across Gujarat, including Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Kachchh, Amreli, Aravalli, Gandhinagar, Navsari, Godhra, and Palanpur, as well as Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Assam, and Arunachal Pradesh.

Our flanges are manufactured in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex steel, cupro-nickel, Monel, Inconel, and Hastelloy, meeting ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47 Series A and B, MSS SP-44, API 605, DIN, and AWWA standards, with all pressure classes from Class 150 to Class 2500 available across sizes from 1/2 inch to 60 inch.

What Is a Pipe Flange?

A Pipe Flange is a disc-shaped mechanical component used to connect two sections of pipeline, or to connect a pipe to a valve, pump, equipment nozzle, or other inline component, creating a bolted, gasketed joint that can be easily assembled, inspected, and disassembled without cutting the pipe. The two mating flanges are bolted together face-to-face with a gasket between the seating faces, and the bolt load compresses the gasket to create a leak-tight pressure seal.

Flanges are the standard method for connecting pipeline sections wherever the joint needs to be periodically broken for maintenance, inspection, or equipment removal, and wherever welding an inline component directly to the pipe would make future maintenance impractical.

The combination of flange type, face type, material grade, and pressure class is carefully selected to match the specific pipe size, pressure rating, temperature, and process media of each piping system. Getting this selection right is critical for safe and leak-free operation throughout the plant’s service life.

Flanges are essential in:

  • Cross-country oil and gas transmission pipeline tie-in connections
  • Refinery and petrochemical process piping
  • Power plant steam, feedwater, and condensate systems
  • Municipal and industrial water treatment plant pipelines
  • Chemical plant and pharmaceutical process piping
  • Structural connections in pressure vessel nozzles

Types of Flanges We Supply

We manufacture and supply the complete range of standard flange types to ASME B16.5, ASME B16.47, DIN, and AWWA standards.

Weld Neck Flange (WNRF) — The most widely specified flange type for high-pressure and high-temperature service. Features a long tapered neck that is butt-welded to the pipe end, providing excellent stress distribution through the taper from the flange body into the pipe wall. The bore is matched to the pipe’s internal diameter to eliminate turbulence at the joint. Radiographically testable at the weld. Used in refineries, power plants, and critical process piping where long service life and weld integrity are paramount.

Slip-On Flange (SORF)The pipe slips inside the flange bore and is fillet-welded both inside and outside the flange hub. Lower cost than weld neck flanges and easier to align during installation, making slip-on flanges widely used for lower-pressure general service applications. Not recommended for high-pressure, high-temperature, or cyclic service.

Blind Flange — A solid disc with no centre bore, used to close the open end of a pipeline, vessel nozzle, or valved branch. Must withstand the full pipeline pressure as a pressure-bearing component.

Socket Weld FlangeThe pipe is inserted into a socket in the flange body and fillet-welded externally. Used for small-bore high-pressure pipelines, typically up to 3 inch (DN80) in Class 3000 and Class 6000 service.

Threaded Flange (Screwed Flange)Has a threaded bore to connect directly to a threaded pipe end without welding, suitable for lower-pressure utility and instrument connections up to Class 600.

Lap Joint Flange — Used with a stub end fitting, allowing the flange to rotate freely around the pipe for easy bolt hole alignment. The stub end makes the seal against the mating flange face, while the lap joint flange provides only the bolt clamping load. Used where frequent disassembly is required or where the flange can be a lower-cost material than the stub end.

Reducing Flange — Connects pipelines of two different sizes without a separate reducer fitting, with different bore and outside face dimensions.

Long Weld Neck Flange — An extended weld neck design used on equipment nozzles, pressure vessels, and heat exchangers where additional reinforcement of the nozzle connection is required.

Flange Face Types

The face type determines how the gasket is seated and how the flange mates with its opposite number.

Raised Face (RF) — The most common face type for Class 150 to Class 2500 flanges. The seating area is raised above the bolting face by 1.6mm (Class 150 and 300) or 6.4mm (Class 400 and above), concentrating bolt load on the gasket area. Compatible with spiral wound gaskets, RTJ gaskets (in adapted designs), and flat ring gaskets.

Flat Face (FF) — The entire face is flush with the bolting surface, used when connecting to cast iron or non-metallic equipment where the raised face could crack the mating flange. Compatible with full-face gaskets.

Ring Type Joint (RTJ) — A machined groove is cut into the flange face to receive a solid metal ring gasket (RTJ gasket), providing a metal-to-metal seal for the highest-pressure applications in Class 600 to Class 2500 and API 6BX flanges. The groove dimensions correspond to the R, RX, or BX ring number.

Flange Material Options

Carbon Steel — ASTM A105 (Forged), A350 LF2 (Low Temperature), ASTM A516 Gr. 70 (Plate) — The most widely used flange material for general oil, gas, water, and process piping service.

Stainless Steel — ASTM A182 F304, F304L, F316, F316L, F321, F347 — For corrosion-resistant flanged joints in chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing applications.

Alloy Steel — ASTM A182 F11, F22, F5, F9, F91 — For elevated temperature service in power plant steam systems and high-temperature refinery process piping.

Duplex and Super Duplex — ASTM A182 F51, F53, F55, F60, F61 — For offshore, subsea, and aggressive chemical service where high strength and corrosion resistance are required.

Cupro-Nickel — ASTM B151 / B564For marine, desalination, and seawater piping systems.

Monel, Inconel, Hastelloy, and Alloy 20 — For extreme corrosion resistance in the most aggressive process environments.

Weld Neck vs Slip-On Flange — Which Should You Choose?

Choose Weld Neck Flange for high-pressure (Class 600 and above), high-temperature, and critical service piping where the butt weld joint, superior stress distribution through the tapered hub, and radiographic testability of the weld are required. Weld neck flanges are the standard for oil and gas, power plant, and refinery piping.

Choose Slip-On Flange for lower-pressure general service (Class 150 and 300) where installation simplicity and lower cost are priorities, and where the double fillet weld is acceptable for the service conditions. Slip-on flanges are widely used for water, utility, and general process service piping where high-integrity weld testing is not required.

Frequently Asked Questions — Flanges


What is the difference between a weld neck and slip-on flange?

A weld neck flange has a long tapered neck that is butt-welded to the pipe end, providing superior stress distribution and a radiographically testable joint, suited for high-pressure and high-temperature service. A slip-on flange slips over the pipe and is fillet-welded on both sides, offering lower cost and easier installation for lower-pressure general service applications.

What does ASME B16.5 mean for flanges?
ASME B16.5 is the American Society of Mechanical Engineers standard that specifies the dimensions, materials, pressure-temperature ratings, tolerances, and testing requirements for pipe flanges and flanged fittings in sizes NPS 1/2 to NPS 24, across pressure classes from Class 150 to Class 2500.

What is a raised face (RF) flange?
A raised face (RF) flange has a seating area that is raised above the bolting face by 1.6mm (Class 150/300) or 6.4mm (Class 400 and above), concentrating the bolt load on the gasket area between the two mating flanges to create the pressure seal.

Do you supply flanges in Gujarat?
