The types of pipe flange
Sunny Steel manufactures custom flanges and stocks 6 basic types of pipe flanges. Although, these are the 6 most common types of pipe flanges, Sunny Steel is a custom flange manufacturer as well and is able to create just about any type of flange necessary for your requirements.
Socket-weld pipe flanges are typically used on smaller sizes of high pressure pipes. These pipe flanges are attached by inserting the pipe into the socket end and applying fillet weld around the top. This allows for a smooth bore and better flow of the fluid or gas inside of the pipe. Slip on Pipe flanges with a hub have published specifications that range from 1/2″ to 24″. Sunny Steel provides Socket Weld pipe flanges in all material grades, specifications and sizes.

Raised Face Joint Blanks
- ASME B16.48 says: The gasket seating surface finish and dimensions for raised face line blanks shall be in accordance with ASME B16.5. A raised face may be specified at the option of the purchaser.
- A Raised Face would add machining time and complexity so the price would be higher. Call this the Bugatti or Rolls Royce of the line blind world.
- Personally, I have seen that version once or twice somewhere. The version without Raised Face is the default and is used everywhere.
Flange Types
A flange is a method of connecting pipes, valves, pumps and other equipment to form a piping system. It also provides easy access for cleaning, inspection or modification.
Pipe flanges are manufactured in all the different materials like stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium, brass, bronze, plastic etc. but the most used material is forged carbon steel and have machined surfaces. In addition, flanges, like fittings and pipes, for specific purposes sometimes internally equipped with layers of materials of a completely different quality as the flanges themselves, which are "lined flanges". The material of a flange, is basically set during the choice of the pipe, in most cases, a flange is of the same material as the pipe. All flanges, discussed on this website fall under the ASME en ASTM standards, unless otherwise indicated. ASME B16.5 describes dimensions, dimensional tolerances etc. and ASTM the different material qualities.
Size: 1/2" NB To 24" NB.
Class: 150#, 300#, 600#, 900#, 1500# & 2500#.
In addition, we also can produce the DIN flange, and the forgings according to the customers drawings, for example, rings and shafts.

Blind Flanges>>The blind flange is used to close ends of piping systems. It is a kind of round plate with no center hold but with all the proper bolt holes. |
Figure-8 Blanks >>A figure-8 blank (also called a Spectacle Blind Flange) is a pressure-retaining plate with one solid end and one open end connected with a web or tie bar. |
Lap Joint Flanges >>The lap joint flange is practically identical to a slip-on flange except it has a radius at the intersection of the bore and flange face. |
Orifice Flanges >>Orifice flanges are used instead of the standard pipe flanges when orifice plate or flow nozzle is used. |
Reducing Flanges >>Reducing flanges are used in pipe-to-pipe connections. Reducing flanges are a little easier to bolt up than non-reducing flanges. |
RTJ Flanges >>Ring Type Joint Flange is a method of ensuring leak proof flange connection at high pressures. |
Socket Welding Flanges >>The socket welding flange is similar to a slip-on flange except it has a bore and a counterbore dimension. |
Slip-On Flanges >>The Slip-on flange has a low hub because the pipe slips into the flange prior to welding. |
Threaded Flanges >>Threaded (Screwed) flange is similar to the Slip-On flange, but the bore is threaded. |
Welding Neck Flanges >>The Welding neck flanges is normally referred to as the high hub flange. |
Size: 1/2" NB To 24" NB.
Class: 150#, 300#, 600#, 900#, 1500# & 2500#.
In addition, we also can produce the DIN flange, and the forgings according to the customers drawings, for example, rings and shafts.

ASTM A350 Standard Specification
ASTM A350 is the Standard Specification for Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel Forgings, Requiring Notch Toughness Testing for Piping Components
This specification covers several grades of carbon and low alloy steel forged or ring-rolled flanges, forged fittings and Valves for low-temperature service. The steel specimens shall be melt processed using open-hearth, basic oxygen, electric furnace or vacuum-induction melting. A sufficient discard shall be made to secure freedom from injurious piping and undue segregation. The materials shall be forged and shall undergo heat treatment such as normalizing, tempering, quenching and precipitation heat treatment. Heat analysis and product analysis shall be performed wherein the steel materials shall conform to the required chemical compositions of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, copper, columbium, vanadium, and nitrogen. The materials shall also undergo tension tests and shall conform to the required values of tensile strength, yield strength and elongation. Impact tests shall also be performed and the steel materials shall conform to the required values of minimum impact energy, temperature, and minimum equivalent absorbed energy. Hardness and hydrostatic tests shall also be performed.
Scope
1.1 This specification covers several grades of carbon and low-alloy steel forged or ring-rolled flanges, forged fittings and Valves intended primarily for low-temperature service and requiring notch toughness testing. They are made to specified dimensions, or to dimensional standards, such as the ASME and API Specifications referenced in Section . Although this specification covers some piping components machined from rolled bar and seamless tubular materials (see ), it does not cover raw material produced in these product forms.
1.2 No limitation on size is intended beyond the ability of the manufacturer to obtain the specified requirements. However, Class 3 of Grade LF787 is only available in the quenched-and-precipitation heat treated condition.
1.3 Supplementary requirements are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired. These shall apply only when specified by the purchaser in the order.
1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. Note 1Refer to Test Methods and Definitions A 370 for notes on significance of notched-bar impact testing.
