Slip-on Flange is actually a hoop that's placed over the pipe end, with the flange face extending from the top of the pipe by enough distance to use a weld bead on the inside diameter. The OD of the slip-on flange is additionally welded on the rear side of the flange. Slip-on flanges have a lower material cost than weld neck flange and are more easily aligned. A slip-on flange can also be used joint flanges if B or Type C stub ends are used.

.

Akai Metal India Manufacture stainless steel flanges according to ASME, EN, ISO, and DIN standards. Stainless steel Slip-on flanges have an inner diameter that is a bit bigger than the outer diameter of the pipe flange. Stainless steel Slip-on flanges have a ring located over the end of the pipe and the face of the flanges extends from the pipe end. If Type C stub ends or Type B stub ends are used, these can also be used as lap joint flanges. Flanges slip-on type is an easier way to align, compared to weld neck flanges. On the back of this kind of flanges, is joined the OD of these flanges.

What are slip-on Flanges used for?
Slip-On flange features a ...
... hole with matching outside diameter of pipe from which pipe can pass. The flange is placed on pipe and fillet welded from both inside and out of doors. Slip-On Flange is suitable for low and temperature applications. this sort of flange is out there in large sizes also to attach big-bore piping with tank nozzles. Normally, these flanges are of forged construction and are given the hub. Sometimes, these flanges are fabricated from plates and aren't given the hub.

Material Used For manufacturing Slip On Flange:
Flanges are factory-made from,

Carbon steel
Low alloy steel
Stainless steel
Combination of Exotic materials (Stub) and alternative packing materials
