How do you use a slip on flange?

The slip-on flange is positioned so the inserted end of the pipe or fitting is set back or short of the flange face by the thickness of the pipe wall plus 1/8 of an inch. This allows for a fillet weld inside the SO flange equal to the thickness of the pipe wall without doing any damage to the flange face.

What is the thickness of the raised face on a 600 raised face flange?

Regular facing for 400, 600, 900, 1500 and 2500 Lb. flange standards is a 1/4 inch raised face not included in minimum flange thickness dimensions.

Where is slip on flange used?

Applications of slip-on flanges They are mainly used for fluids at low pressure or with little risk of leakage. It is very common to find these flanges today in cooling water lines, firefighting water lines, low-pressure compressed air lines, and process lines for substances such as steam, oil, gas, condensates, etc.

Can you weld a slip on flange to a 90 degree elbow?

There is no Code restriction against welding a Slip-On (SO) Flange directly to an elbow, a Reducer, a Tee or any other fitting.

What pressure is a 600 flange rated for?

How do you install a slip on flange?

The slip-on flange consists of a bored hole with a diameter just slightly larger than the steel pipe. Slip the flange over the end of the pipe base. Thread the flange pins to tighten the flange’s grasp on the pipe. Try to pull the pipe out of the flange to make sure that the pins are efficiently tightened.

What is slip on flange in ASME B16.5?

The slip on flange (S/O flange) manufactured in accordance with ASME B16.5 is a loose-type flange which has no direct connection to the adjoining pipe wall or the nozzle neck, or the vessel. It has a low hub that allows the flange to slip onto the pipe prior to welding.

Which is shorter slip on flange or neck flange?

Illustration of welding a pipe to a slip-on flange conforming to ASME B16.5: two fillet welds shall be furnished. The slip on flange is shorter in length than a weld neck flange, and is used in areas where short tie-ins are necessary or space limitations necessitate its use.
