| What is the difference between a Lap Joint and a Slip-On flange? |
A Lap Joint flange is used with a stub end and is not welded to the pipe, whereas a Slip-On flange is welded directly to the pipe (fillet weld). |
| Do you supply the stub ends along with the SS 316 Lap Joint Flanges? |
Yes, as a complete SS 316 Lap Joint Flanges Supplier in Mumbai, we can supply both the backing flange and the matching stub ends. |
| What is the main advantage of using SS 316 for this flange? |
SS 316 contains molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in chloride-rich environments compared to SS 304. |
| Can the flange rotate after installation? |
The flange can rotate around the stub end before the bolts are tightened, which solves misalignment issues during the fit-up process. |
| What pressure ratings are suitable for Lap Joint Flanges? |
They are typically used in lower pressure classes, such as 150# and 300#, but we can manufacture them for higher ratings if specified. |
| Are you an SS 316 Lap Joint Flanges Manufacturer in India accepting custom orders? |
Yes, we manufacture standard ANSI dimensions and can also fabricate custom sizes based on specific client drawings. |
| Do you provide material certificates with the flanges? |
Absolutely. All orders are accompanied by Mill Test Certificates (MTC) per EN 10204 3.1 to guarantee material authenticity. |
| Is this flange suitable for corrosive fluid lines? |
Yes, provided the stub end (which touches the fluid) is made of a compatible corrosion-resistant material like SS 316. |
