Lap Joint Flanges

What Are Lap Joint Flanges?

Lap joint flanges consist of a loose flange and a stub end, where the flange rotates around the stub end. This design allows for easy alignment and adjustment during installation. Since the flange does not come into direct contact with the fluid, it can be made of a less expensive material than the stub end, reducing overall costs.

Key Features and Advantages

Cost Efficiency

  • The backing flange can be made of lower-grade material, reducing costs.
  • Ideal for systems using expensive piping materials like stainless steel.

Flexibility

  • Rotating flange simplifies alignment during installation.
  • Suitable for frequent dismantling and reassembly.

Reduced Maintenance

  • Easy to disassemble for cleaning, inspection, or repairs.
  • Durable design ensures long-lasting performance.

Types of Lap Joint Flanges

Raised Face (RF) Lap Joint Flanges

  • Raised gasket surface ensures improved sealing.
  • Commonly used in chemical and petrochemical industries.

Flat Face (FF) Lap Joint Flanges

  • Flat gasket surface for full-face contact.
  • Ideal for low-pressure applications.

Stub End Variants

  • Available in long or short patterns to suit specific applications.
  • Stub ends made from the same material as the pipe.

Applications Across Industries

Chemical Processing

  • Suitable for systems handling corrosive chemicals.
  • Ensures reliable connections in critical pipelines.

Oil and Gas

  • Used in pipelines and refineries requiring periodic maintenance.
  • Resistant to corrosion in challenging environments.

Water Treatment

  • Common in desalination plants and municipal water systems.
  • Reliable for both high-pressure and low-pressure applications.

Power Generation

  • Used in steam and cooling water systems.
  • Ensures secure connections in thermal and nuclear plants.

Food and Pharmaceutical Industries

  • Stainless steel variants meet stringent hygiene standards.
  • Ideal for high-purity applications.
