What is a plate flange(plain flange)?

A plate flange also called plain flange,flat flange,plate slip on flange or ring flange,it is one kind of the slip on flange(without hub).Plate flange looks like a flat,circular disk with inner hole and bolt holes on it,that is welded onto the end of a steel pipe and allows it to be bolted to another pipe.The inner hole of plate flange is a little bigger than the pipe outer diameter.

EN 1092-1 Q235 FF plate flanges

Plate flanges are secured to the pipe with a fillet weld at the bottom and the top of flanges with the pipes.The welding method is fillet weld,so the plate flange is not suitable for a high pressure application.Typially used in fuel and water pipelines,the two plate flanges will be bolted together with a gasket between them.

Specifications of plate flange(plain flange):

ANSI/ASME standard:

ANSI/ASME B16.5 (In ANSI/ASME B16.5 standard,there is no plate slip on flange,only hub slip on flange in it,but in different projects the ANSI B16.5 plate flange is used a lot for decrease the cost of the projects.The ANSI/ASME B16.5 plain flange should have the same dimensions and pcds with the slip on flange,the only difference is without a hub on the flange.)
