Release Time:
Sep 17,2025
High-quality Hoop Flange manufacturer in China. Forged carbon steel and stainless steel flanges, ANSI/DIN/ASME standards, fast delivery for oil, gas, and chemical pipelines.
In pipeline engineering and industrial fluid systems, the Hoop Flange plays a critical role in providing a reliable and leak-proof connection. This type of flange is widely recognized for its precision machining, strong sealing capacity, and compliance with multiple global standards, making it a preferred choice in high-demand projects.
Technical Standards and Dimensions
Hoop Flanges are manufactured in strict accordance with international norms, ensuring interchangeability and compatibility:
Standards: ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.47, DIN EN 1092-1, JIS B2220, GOST
Pressure Classes: Class 150, 300, 600, 900, 1500, 2500 (PN 2.5 to PN 420)
Size Range: 1/2” (DN15) to 48” (DN1200)
Facing Types: Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), Ring-Type Joint (RTJ)
Material Selection
Depending on the service environment, Hoop Flanges are available in multiple grades:
Carbon Steel: ASTM A105, A350 LF2 (for low-temperature service)
Stainless Steel: ASTM A182 F304/304L, F316/316L (corrosion resistance)
Alloy Steel: ASTM A182 F11, F22, F91 (high-temperature and pressure service)
Special Alloys: Duplex, Super Duplex, Nickel Alloys for offshore and chemical use
All materials are supplied with 3.1/3.2 Material Test Certificates (EN 10204) and optional third-party inspections (ABS, BV, DNV, LR, CCS) to ensure traceability and compliance.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Our Hoop Flanges are produced using advanced forging and CNC machining processes:
Forging: open die / closed die forging for structural integrity
Heat Treatment: normalizing, quenching, and tempering for improved mechanical properties
Testing: UT (Ultrasonic Testing), RT (Radiographic Testing), PMI (Positive Material Identification), hardness testing, and hydrostatic pressure testing
This guarantees flanges meet dimensional accuracy, flatness tolerance, and sealing surface roughness required for critical installations.
Industrial Applications
The Hoop Flange is designed for demanding service conditions, including:
Oil & Gas Pipelines: high-pressure, sour service environments (H2S resistance)
Petrochemical Industry: exposure to aggressive chemicals and high-temperature fluids
Shipbuilding and Offshore: seawater corrosion resistance, marine certifications
Power Generation: steam lines, boiler connections, and high-temperature turbines
