Flanges

Pipe Flanges

Pipe Flanges are an integral part of piping used to join two consecutive pipes or rather block to end the pipeline. A pipe flange is either a ring type, collar or a circular blank disc either welded or screwed to the pipe. Flanges are used in pairs connected by bolted joint and provides strength to the pipeline. A flanged joint is second most used method of joining after welding and is versatile in terms of maintenance.

Ferrobend manufactures complete range of flanges from ½ up to 100 Inch nominal sizes for pipeline connections, primarily in Alloy Steel, Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Titanium & Nickel alloy grades. We produce forged flanges & plate flanges to ANSI, ASME, API, AWWA, SAE, BS, JIS, BIS, SABS, EN, DIN and GOST Standards.
