Premium China factory and suppliers of ASME B16.5 and B16.47 Slip On Flanges. High-quality Class 150 to 2500 in ASTM A105 carbon steel, A182 F304/F316 stainless, and A350 LF2 alloy steel for global industrial piping systems.
The Slip-On Flange (SO), engineered in strict accordance with ANSI/ASME B16.5 standards, is a premium structural metal component designed for seamless integration into industrial piping systems. Specifically developed for versatility and ease of installation, these flanges slide over the pipe and are secured with precise fillet welds on both inner and outer surfaces, ensuring a robust, leak-proof seal for critical fluid transport applications.
Manufactured from high-grade carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel, our SO flanges deliver an optimal balance of cost-efficiency and mechanical performance. By adhering to rigorous ASME B16.5 and B16.47 specifications, we provide precision-engineered solutions ideal for low to medium pressure systems across the global oil, gas, and chemical sectors, ensuring long-term durability in the most demanding environments.

Utilizing ASTM A182 F304/F316 stainless steel ensures maximum stability in pH 2-12 environments and seawater treatment systems.
The slip-on design allows for faster alignment and simpler outer fillet welding compared to complex weld-neck types.
Alloy Steel (A350 LF2) provides excellent impact energy (≥27J at -46℃) for LNG and liquid nitrogen pipelines.
Advanced CNC processing ensures extreme sealing face flatness and precise bolt circle diameters for leak-proof joints.
100% Magnetic Particle and Ultrasonic testing eliminates internal defects and potential welding cracks.
Reduced material usage and simplified processing make SO flanges the economic choice for Class 600 and below.
Spectral analysis to verify Cr/Ni content and material grade before production starts.
Open die forging for NPS ≤12" to ensure no folding defects in the flange neck.
Normalization at 890-920℃ for carbon steel to eliminate internal welding stress.
Real-time monitoring of sealing face flatness and bolt hole positional tolerance.
Integrated MT and UT inspection platforms for high-pressure safety certification.
Hydrostatic testing at 1.5x design pressure with 30-minute leak-free holding.
| Comparison Index | Slip-On Flange (SO) | Weld Neck Flange (WN) |
|---|---|---|
| Welding Difficulty | Low (Outer Fillet Weld) | High (Full Penetration Groove) |
| Applicable Pressure | ≤ Class 600 (PN11MPa) | Up to Class 2500 |
| Material & Process Cost | Low (Efficient Production) | High (Complex Neck Structure) |
| Sealing Performance | Medium (Gasket Dependent) | High (Fused Pipe Connection) |
| Typical Application | Water/Air Systems | High-Pressure Oil & Gas |
Slip-On flanges slide over the pipe and use fillet welds, offering lower costs and easier installation, whereas Weld Neck flanges are butt-welded for higher pressure and temperature resistance.
Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 F304/F316) is highly recommended due to its Cr-Ni alloy composition, which resists acid and alkali corrosion across a pH range of 2 to 12.
We employ 100% Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) for neck welds and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for Class 1500 flanges, combined with hydrostatic pressure tests at 1.5x design pressure.
Yes, provided they are manufactured from Alloy Steel (ASTM A350 LF2), which offers the necessary low-temperature toughness with impact energy ≥27J at -46℃.
Common types include Flat Face (FF) and Raised Face (RF). For Class 600 and above, Male-Female (MFM) or Tongue-Groove (TG) faces are used to enhance sealing stability.
We use spectral analysis on raw materials to ensure precise alloy percentages, such as verifying that Chromium content is ≥18% for Grade 304 stainless steel.

Common Materials Used in 90° Elbow Production and Their Advantages
In modern pipeline systems, the 90° elbow plays a critical role in changing flow direction while maintaining pressure integrity and operational efficiency. Whether used in oil and gas pipelines, chemical plants, water treatment facilities, or HVAC systems, selecting the right material for a 90-degree elbow directly affects durability, corrosion resistance, temperature tolerance, and overall service life.

Global investment in energy infrastructure, petrochemical facilities, power generation projects, and industrial transportation networks continues to expand. As industries seek greater operational efficiency and long-term reliability, engineers are paying increasing attention to the integrity of pipeline connection systems. While pumps, compressors, and valves often receive significant attention during project planning, the performance of a pipeline frequently depends on the quality of its connection components.
