Threaded Flanges are used for special applications. They can be assembled without welding and can be used in extremely high pressure services--at or near atmospheric pressure--where alloy steel is essential for strength. Threaded flanges are not suited for conditions involving temperature or bending stresses, or under cyclic conditions where leakage through the threads may occur.
Lap Joint Flanges are used with lap joint stubs. Lap joint flanges are commonly used in carbon or low alloy steel piping systems that need to be frequently dismantled for inspection and cleaning. They should not be used at any points where severe bending stresses occur.
