Stainless Steel Flanges
The bolted connection in a stainless line, supplied to the standard and drilling your specification calls for.
Overview
What This Pump Does
Stainless steel flanges connect pipework, valves and equipment where a bolted joint is needed rather than a weld. They are supplied for industrial process and utility lines.
Flange standards define face type, thickness and bolt circle, so the standard and the drilling matter as much as the nominal size. Tell us both and we will supply parts that bolt straight up to the equipment.

Key Benefits
Getting A Bolted Joint Right
Standard And Drilling Matched
Bolt circle and hole pattern follow the standard named in the specification, not a generic pattern.
Stainless Construction
Corrosion resistance to match the pipework and the equipment.
Equipment Connections
Bolted joints where pumps, valves and instruments need to be removable.
Supplied With The Line
Ordered with elbows, tees and clamps so the whole run comes from one source.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Pump And Valve Connections
Bolted joints at equipment that must be removed for service.
Line Breaks
Points where a line has to be dismantled for maintenance access.
Equipment Interfaces
Connecting to vessels and skids that arrive with flanged nozzles.
Who It Is For
- Piping contractors
- Maintenance teams
- Skid fabricators
- Buyers working to a flange standard
Problems It Solves
Flanges do not line up
Matching standard and drilling before ordering avoids a flange that will not bolt to the equipment.
Mixed materials at a joint
Stainless flanges keep the joint consistent with the rest of a stainless line.
Equipment cannot be removed
Bolted joints at equipment make service possible without cutting pipe.

|---|---|
| Sanitary clamp joint | Clamp joints are for hygienic lines. Flanges are the industrial equivalent for larger bolted connections. |
Use Guide
Specifying Flanges
Confirm The Standard
Standard, pressure class and face type. These decide the drilling and the thickness.
Measure The Mating Flange
If you are connecting to existing equipment, measure the bolt circle and hole count.
Specify Gaskets And Bolting
Gasket material and bolt grade belong in the same order as the flanges.
Tighten In Sequence
Bolt in a crossing pattern to load the gasket evenly.
Answers
Stainless Steel Flanges FAQ
Which flange standards do you supply?
Tell us the standard and drilling named in your specification and we will confirm what can be supplied.
Which material?
Stainless steel, matched to the rest of the line.
Do you supply gaskets and bolts?
State what you need with the enquiry and we will quote them alongside the flanges.
Can you match an existing flange?
Yes. Send bolt circle, hole count, hole size and thickness, or the equipment drawing.
Is there a minimum quantity?
No, single items are quoted the same way as project lots.
