Threaded Flange: A Safe, Weld-Free Connection Solution


Release Time:

Jun 12,2025

Ideal for Low-Pressure, Hazardous Environments Where Welding Is Not an Option

Structural Features:

A flange with a threaded bore, allowing connection to the pipe without welding.

Ideal for low-pressure and non-cyclic applications where welding is not feasible.

Threads are typically NPT (National Pipe Thread) or BSP for compatibility.

Common flange faces: RF / FF

 

Welding Method:

No welding required.

The flange screws directly onto the external thread of the pipe.

Can also be seal welded around the joint for added leak protection if necessary.

 

Applications:

Low-pressure piping systems, flammable or explosive environments where welding is hazardous.

 

Used in:

-Oil & Gas

-Chemical Processing

-Water Supply Systems

-Firefighting Networks

-Steam and Air Lines

 

Common Size Standards:

ASME B16.5: 1/2” – 24”

(Note: Threaded flanges are not typically used above 4” in size due to structural concerns.)

 

Pressure Ratings:

150#, 300#, 600#

(Seldom used above 600# as threading weakens the flange neck.)

 

Flange Face Types:

RF (Raised Face)

FF (Flat Face)

 

Materials:

Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Galvanized Steel, Alloy Steel, Bronze

 

Recommendation:

Threaded flanges are an excellent choice when welding is impractical or dangerous.

Best suited for small-diameter, low-pressure systems.

A cost-effective and maintenance-friendly option in hazardous or flammable areas.
