Product introduction
Slip-On (SO) Flanges are a type of pipe flange designed for easy installation and moderate-pressure applications. They are widely used in various industries due to their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Here are the key features and details about SO flanges:
1. Design:
- SO flanges have a slightly larger bore than the pipe, allowing the pipe to "slip on" before being welded.
- They are welded both on the inside (to the pipe) and outside (to the flange hub) to create a secure connection.
- The flange face can be raised (RF), flat (FF), or ring-type joint (RTJ), depending on the application.
2. Applications:
- Commonly used in low-to-moderate pressure systems.
- Suitable for applications where frequent disassembly is not required.
- Widely used in water treatment, chemical processing, and HVAC systems.
3. Advantages:
- Easy to align and install compared to other flange types.
- Cost-effective and readily available.
- Provides good flow characteristics due to the smooth bore.
4. Limitations:
- Not suitable for high-pressure or high-temperature applications.
- Requires welding, which can be time-consuming compared to threaded flanges.
5. Standards:
- SO flanges are manufactured according to standards such as ASME B16.5, ANSI, DIN, and EN.
6. Installation:
- The pipe is inserted into the flange and welded both inside and outside to ensure a strong connection.
- Gaskets are used between the flange faces to ensure a leak-proof seal.
