Plate Lap Joint Flanges

Plate Lap Joint Flanges are a variation of the standard lap joint flange. Instead of using a stub end that is welded to the pipe, Plate Lap Joint Flanges use a flat plate or machined plate that is welded to the pipe, and the flange is then bolted to this plate. The design allows for easy assembly and disassembly, making them suitable for applications where regular maintenance, cleaning, or system modifications are needed.

Advantages of Plate Lap Joint Flanges:

• Easy Alignment: Like standard lap joint flanges, plate lap joint flanges can be rotated to align the bolt holes properly. This makes installation and maintenance easier, especially in systems where accurate alignment is critical.
• Cost-Effective: They are generally more economical than other flange types like weld neck or slip-on flanges, especially in systems that need frequent access.
• Reusable Components: The plate welded to the pipe can be reused with a new flange if the old flange becomes damaged or needs to be replaced.
• Ideal for Cleaning and Maintenance: Because the flange is not welded to the pipe, it is easier to remove the flange for cleaning, inspection, or replacement without affecting the pipe.
• Flexible System Design: These flanges provide greater flexibility for systems that require disassembly or reconfiguration, such as in chemical plants, pharmaceutical industries, or food processing plants.
