8. BS flange standard

Slip On Flanges (Code 112) – BS 4504

Leave us a message​

Description 

Slip On Flanges are a type of flange that is designed to slide over the end of a pipe and weld into place. They have a hole that is larger than the outside diameter of the pipe, allowing the pipe to fit inside. To secure the flange, it is welded on both the outside and inside of the pipe.

Applications

  • Piping systems : Widely used in piping systems in the petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, energy, and other industries.
  • Pipe and Equipment Connections : Commonly used to connect pipe sections to equipment such as valves, pumps, and other types of process equipment.
  • Pressure systems : Suitable for high and low pressure systems.

Standards

BS 4504 is a British standard that specifies the technical and dimensional requirements for steel and steel alloy flanges. Here are some key points of this standard:

  • Dimensions and tolerances : BS 4504 provides detailed dimensional tables for various types of flanges, including bore sizes, outside diameters, and bolt holes.
  • Materials : The standard specifies suitable materials for flanges, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and other alloys.
  • Working pressure : Flanges according to BS 4504 standard are designed to withstand different working pressures, which are clearly specified in the standard.
  • Welding : Regulations on welding flanges to pipes, ensuring durability and safety during use.
  • Inspection and testing : The standard requires inspection and testing methods to ensure the quality and durability of flanges, including pressure testing, non-destructive testing, and dimensional inspection.
