In the demanding realm of oil and gas, flanges are crucial for operational integrity and efficiency. At Align MFG, we specialize in manufacturing top-grade flanges, tailored for both large-scale and specialized needs.
Our expertise ensures every flange, whether in bulk or as a single piece, upholds the rigorous standards of the oil and gas industry.
Types and Applications of Flanges in Oil & Gas
- Diverse Range: From the robust Welded Neck Flange to the versatile Threaded Flange, the solid Blind Flange, and the specialized Gearbox and Housing Flanges, our product lineup addresses all your flange requirements. Produced through the forging process, these flanges benefit from enhanced durability and strength as the metal is shaped under high pressure and temperature to create a uniform, dense grain structure
- Versatile Applications: Our flanges are the backbone of pipelines, drilling rigs, and processing plants, ensuring safety and reliability under demanding conditions.
Produced through the forging process, these flanges benefit from enhanced durability and strength as the metal is shaped under high pressure and temperature to create a uniform, dense grain structure. 6 Common types include:
- Weld-neck flanges: Known for their tapered hub, ideal for high-pressure environments and resistant to repeat bending.
- Slip-on flanges: Slipped over the pipe and welded inside and out for increased strength and leakage prevention, offering a lower cost alternative.
- Lap-joint flanges: Used with a lap joint stub end, these flanges are not fastened but held in place by pressure against the pipe lap.
- Threaded flanges: Used in special circumstances, attached without welding, typically on pipes with deep wall thickness.
- Blind flanges: Solid discs used to close off the ends of piping, valves, and pressure vessel openings, suitable for high pressure and temperature.
- Socket-weld flanges: Connected with a single fillet weld on the outside, offering static strength similar to slip-on flanges.
