Fabricated Flanges

Benchmark has supplied and fabricated a wide variety of piping products in support of the Oil & Gas Industry, LNG Plant Construction, Marine Services and Pulp / Paper Plants.

The variations of assemblies we have deployed are enormous, however typically a piping assemble consists of the following basic components:

  • Piping
  • Flanges
  • Valves
  • Fittings
  • Stud Bolts
  • Gaskets
  • Isolation Kits
  • and Pipe Spools AKA Flanged Spools

Slip on Flange is essentially a ring that is placed over the pipe end, with the flange face extending from the end of the pipe by enough distance to apply a weld bead on the inside diameter.

The OD of slip on flange is also welded on the back side of the flange. Slip on flanges have a lower material cost than weld neck flange and are more easily aligned.

Slip on flange may also be used a lap joint flanges if Type B or Type C stub ends are used.

The calculated strength from a Slip On flange under internal pressure is of the order of two-thirds that of Welding Neck flanges, and their life under fatigue is about one-third that of the latter.

The connection with the pipe is done with 2 fillet welds, as well at the outside as also at the inside of the flange.

The X measure on the image, are approximately:
Wall thickness of pipe + 3 mm.

This space is necessary, to do not damage the flange face, during the welding process.

A disadvantage of the flange is, that principle always firstly a pipe must be welded and then just a fitting. A combination of flange and elbow or flange and tee is not possible, because named fittings have not a straight end, that complete slid in the Slip On flange.
