Flanges: High-Quality Pipe Connection Solutions
Flanges are essential components in piping systems, designed to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment securely. They provide easy access for cleaning, inspection, and modifications, making them a preferred choice across various industries, including oil & gas, petrochemicals, power plants, and water treatment facilities.
At AstroForge Fitting Industries, we offer a comprehensive range of flanges in different sizes, materials, and standards to meet diverse industrial needs. Our flanges are manufactured following international standards, ensuring durability, reliability, and performance in high-pressure and high-temperature environments.
Types of Flanges We Offer
Slip-On Flange
Slip-on flanges are easy to install and cost-effective, making them suitable for low-pressure applications. These flanges are designed to slide over the pipe and are welded both inside and outside to enhance strength.
Weld Neck Flange
Known for their superior strength, weld neck flanges are ideal for high-pressure applications. They have a long tapered hub that provides reinforcement and ensures smooth fluid flow, reducing turbulence and erosion.
Blind Flange
Blind flanges are used to close the end of a piping system or vessel opening. They offer excellent sealing and can handle high-pressure applications, preventing leakage and ensuring system safety.
Socket Weld Flange
Socket weld flanges are designed for small-diameter, high-pressure piping systems. They provide a strong connection as the pipe is inserted into the socket and then welded for added durability.
Orifice Flange
These flanges are specifically designed for measuring fluid flow rates in piping systems. Orifice flanges feature special holes for installing pressure-measuring instruments.
Threaded Flange
Threaded flanges are ideal for applications where welding is not feasible. They are screwed onto pipes with external threads, making them easy to install and remove in low-pressure environments.
Plate Flange
Plate flanges are flat, circular discs welded onto pipes for easy disconnection. They are commonly used in low-pressure applications and available in multiple sizes and standards.
Lap Joint Flange
Lap joint flanges are designed to be used with stub ends, allowing easy dismantling of the piping system. They are suitable for applications where frequent disassembly is required.
Reducing Flange
Reducing flanges allow the connection of pipes with different diameters. They are used in situations where space constraints or flow adjustments are necessary.
Square Flange
Square flanges are used in hydraulic systems and are designed to provide a secure, leak-proof connection. They are widely used in industrial and mechanical applications.
Tongue and Groove Flange
These flanges have matching grooves and tongues that provide a tight seal, making them ideal for applications requiring high-pressure containment and leak prevention.
Flange Standards and Sizes
Our flanges are available in various international standards, including:
- ANSI B16.5 (American National Standards Institute)
- DIN (German Industrial Standards: DIN2527, DIN2566, DIN2573, etc.)
- BS (British Standards: BS4504, BS1560, BS10)
Flange sizes range from ½” (15 NB) to 48” (1200 NB), ensuring compatibility with different piping systems.

FAQs - Flanges
A Slip On Flange is designed to slide over the pipe and then be welded in place. It's easy to align and install, suitable for moderate pressure applications.
A Weld Neck Flange is welded to the pipe with a gradual transition, providing high strength and pressure resistance. It's commonly used in high-pressure and temperature applications.
A Blind Flange is used to close off the end of a piping system. It provides a seal to block the flow of fluids or gases and is useful for maintenance.
A Socket Weld Flange is designed to fit over the pipe with a socket and is welded around the joint. It is typically used for small diameter, high-pressure piping systems.
An Orifice Flange is used to measure the flow rate of fluids through a pipe. It has built-in provisions for inserting a flow measurement device.
A Threaded Flange has internal threads that allow it to be screwed onto the pipe. It is used where welding is not feasible, often in smaller sizes and lower pressure applications.
A Plate Flange is a flat flange with no raised face. It is commonly used for joining pipes in systems where the pipe end is flush with the flange face.
A Lap Joint Flange consists of two parts: the flange and a backing ring. It allows easy disassembly and alignment, making it suitable for applications where frequent inspection is needed.
A Reducing Flange is used to connect pipes of different diameters. It has an eccentric or concentric design to transition smoothly between different pipe sizes.
A Square Flange is a flange with a square-shaped face, used in specific applications where a square connection is required instead of the traditional round flange.
