What is Plate Flange

A Plate Flange is a flat circular flange with a central hole and bolt holes around the body. It is designed to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other pipeline equipment through welding and bolting.

Compared with weld neck flanges, plate flanges have a simpler structure and lower manufacturing cost. The pipe is usually inserted through the bore of the flange and welded in place, creating a stable and practical connection for general piping systems.

Plate flanges are especially suitable for low-pressure and medium-pressure systems where easy installation, economical cost, and reliable sealing performance are required.

Plate Flange Materials & Grades

Plate flanges are available in a wide range of materials. The material should be selected according to pipeline medium, working pressure, temperature, corrosion environment, and project standard.

Carbon steel plate flanges are widely used in water supply, drainage, HVAC, construction, and general industrial systems. Stainless steel plate flanges are suitable for chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and corrosive environments. Alloy steel and duplex materials can be used for higher temperature, higher pressure, or special working conditions.

Advantages of Plate Flange

Cost-Effective Connection

Plate flanges have a simple structure and lower production cost, making them suitable for large-volume pipeline projects.

Easy Installation

The pipe can be inserted through the flange bore and welded in position. This installation method is simple and efficient.

Flexible Standard Options

Plate flanges can be supplied according to EN, DIN, BS, JIS, ANSI, GOST, and customer drawings.

Wide Material Selection

Carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, duplex steel, nickel alloy, and other special materials are available.

Good Sealing Performance

With accurate machining and suitable sealing face treatment, plate flanges provide stable sealing for low-pressure and medium-pressure pipeline systems.

Reduced Maintenance Cost

The simple structure makes inspection, replacement, and maintenance easier during long-term pipeline operation.

Applications

Water Supply and Drainage

Plate flanges are widely used in municipal water pipelines, drainage systems, pump stations, and water treatment projects.

HVAC Systems

They are commonly used in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and cooling water pipeline systems.

Fire Protection Systems

Plate flanges provide economical and reliable connections for fire water pipelines and sprinkler systems.

Chemical Processing

Stainless steel and alloy plate flanges are suitable for chemical pipelines carrying corrosive or special media.

Construction Projects

Plate flanges are used in building pipeline systems, infrastructure projects, and general mechanical installations.

General Industrial Pipelines

They are suitable for equipment connection, pipe joining, and pipeline maintenance in factories and industrial plants.
