| What is the primary advantage of using an MS Lap Joint Flange? |
The main advantage is the ability to swivel around the pipe, which simplifies bolt alignment and eliminates fit-up difficulties during installation. |
| Are you an MS Lap Joint Flanges Supplier in Mumbai? |
Yes, we are a leading supplier in Mumbai with ready stock to fulfill orders across Maharashtra and India efficiently. |
| Do I need a stub end to use with this flange? |
Yes, a Lap Joint flange must be used with a stub end (collar), which is welded to the pipe while the flange remains loose behind it. |
| Do MS Lap Joint flanges rust? |
Yes, mild steel will rust if untreated. We supply them with a coating of red oxide paint or oil to provide protection during storage and transport. |
| What sizes do you manufacture? |
We manufacture standard sizes ranging from 1/2" NB to 24" NB, and we can also fabricate larger custom sizes upon request. |
| Can these flanges be used for high-pressure systems? |
They are typically used for low-to-medium pressure applications (Class 150 or 300) because they have lower fatigue strength than weld neck flanges. |
| Do you provide Mill Test Certificates? |
Yes, we provide Mill Test Certificates (MTC) with our supplies to verify the quality and grade of the mild steel used. |
| Is welding required for the flange itself? |
No, the flange itself is not welded. Only the stub end is welded to the pipe, which prevents the flange from contacting the fluid directly. |
