Contact SupplierA Lap Joint Flange is a type of flange that is used to connect pipes with other equipment and fittings. It consists of a flat ring with an inner circle that slips over the pipe end.
Product Features:
API International lap joint flanges are made from A105 forged carbon steel and A182, 304/316 forged stainless steel. Designed for easy alignment and disassembly, meet ANSI/ASME B16.5 standards, and are available customized.
Standard: ANSI/ASME B16.5, EN 1092, GOST33259, BS, DIN, SABS.
Surface Treatment: anti-rust oil, black painting, and yellow painting.
What is a lap joint flange used for?
Lap Joint Flanges have many uses in various sectors due to their distinctive design and practical qualities.
These lap joint flanges work perfectly for low to moderate-pressure applications. They are commonly used where access is limited or regular maintenance is needed.
Lap Joint Flanges excel in chemical facilities where pipelines must be routinely maintained, checked, and repaired.
They enable quick disconnection of parts, providing effective maintenance access without the need for extensive welding. This benefit reduces downtime, improves safety, and supports maintaining the integrity of chemical processes.
Lap Joint Flanges are essential in maintaining the sterility and cleanliness of processing pipes. These flanges facilitate disassembly, providing access to vital parts for thorough cleaning and sterilization.
Water treatment facilities require regular maintenance and repair to ensure the efficient treatment and distribution of water. Lap Joint Flanges offer an ideal solution, as they allow for quick access to critical components without disrupting the entire system. This feature significantly reduces downtime and helps maintain the continuous operation of water treatment processes.
Material Standards and Dimensions
Lap joint flange dimensions are defined by ANSI/ASME B16.5 for sizes NPS ½″ to 24″ and pressure classes from 150 to 2500. For larger pipe sizes, NPS 26″ to 60″, dimensions follow ASME B16.47 standards. They are commonly manufactured from materials such as A105 forged carbon steel, A182, 304/316 forged stainless steel, and alloy steel to suit a wide range of service conditions.
