Flanges play a pivotal role in industrial piping systems by connecting pipes, valves, and equipment. They come in various designs, each tailored to specific applications and operational needs. At Udhhyog, we manufacture a diverse range of flanges to meet the demands of multiple industries.
Common Types of Flanges
1. Weld Neck Flange
- Design: Features a long tapered hub welded to the pipe.
- Uses: High-pressure systems and critical applications.
- Advantages: Superior stress distribution and leak prevention.
2. Slip-On Flange
- Design: Slides over the pipe and is welded on both sides.
- Uses: Low-pressure and general-purpose systems.
- Advantages: Easy installation and cost-effective.
3. Socket Weld Flange
- Design: Recessed area for the pipe to sit before welding.
- Uses: High-pressure, small-diameter applications.
- Advantages: Smooth bore flow and strength.
4. Threaded Flange
- Design: Screws onto the pipe without welding.
- Uses: Low-pressure and non-critical systems.
- Advantages: Ideal for temporary or small-scale setups.
5. Blind Flange
- Design: Solid disk without a bore, used to close pipe ends.
- Uses: Testing pressure and sealing pipe ends.
- Advantages: Ensures safety and prevents leaks.

Specialized Flanges
1. Lap Joint Flange
- Works with a stub end fitting for easy assembly and disassembly.
- Common in systems requiring frequent cleaning or inspection.
2. Orifice Flange
- Includes provisions for pressure taps, used in flow measurement systems.
3. Spectacle Blind Flange
- Combines a blind flange and a spacer, allowing easy switching between closed and open systems.
Applications by Flange Type
Oil and Gas:
- Weld neck and socket weld flanges are ideal for high-pressure pipelines.

How to Choose the Right Flange
Pressure Rating:
- Ensure the flange matches the system’s pressure class (e.g., Class 150, 300).
Material Compatibility:
- Choose materials like carbon steel for cost-effectiveness or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Operational Requirements:
- Consider the flange design that best suits your system’s needs, such as ease of maintenance or high-temperature handling.
