Slip-on raised face flange is the full name for SORFs. Slip-on raised face flanges are used to connect two separate pipes using welding. SORF Flanges kind of flange comes in a range of sizes and specifications and is utilized by the application. With the aid of fillet welding at the hub and end of the pipe inside the flange, this type of flange joins with the pipe. The raised face, plain, RT J, and orifice configurations of the SORF flange are also available. With various pipe specifications, it is simple to fit and weld. This is a crucial form of pipe fitting, along with elbows, gaskets, pipes, reducers, and others like weldolets, sockets, threadless, and others.

What Kinds Of Flanges Are There?

Weld neck flanges, slip-on flanges, blind flanges, socket weld flanges, threaded flanges, and lap joint flanges are the most frequently used flanges (RTJ Flange). This kind of attachment in a pipe flange enables simple separation and disassembly for repair and routine maintenance.

Uses for SORF flange

Flat welding flanges come in the form of slip-on flanges. Only the surface layer is welded using flat welding; not the interior layer. In general, both medium and low-pressure pipelines may make use of flat welding flanges, such as an ASME B16. 5 Class 600 Slip On Flange.

Why Is SORF Flange Employed?

The usage of slip-on flanges in manufactured applications is simple. Filler welding is used to join these flanges to the pipe inside the flanges' hub and at the pipe's termination. These come in a huge range of sizes and applications.

How many different kinds of Flange exist?

There Are Five Different Types Of Flange

  • Neck welding
  • Put on,
  • Plug Weld,
  • Joint Lap,
  • Blind and threaded flange.

What Are The Three Primary Types Of Flange Faces?

Flange faces often come in one of three configurations: plain/flat, raised, or ring-type joint (RTJ). Other flange face designs, primarily tongue-and-groove (T&G), lap joint, and male-and-female (M&F) designs are also available, but they are less common.
