Coating/Plating

Internal FBE coating, Xylan lining (for slurry service)

Manufacturing Method

Forged (A105/A182) + CNC machining [Integral one-piece construction]

Technical Advantages

Expander flanges are critical where different pipe diameters need to be joined with minimal disturbance to flow. By using an integral design, they eliminate the need for additional adapters, offering a smooth flow path with reduced turbulence.

The consistent pressure rating and high-temperature resistance ensure these flanges perform reliably across a range of conditions, from -29°C to +538°C. Moreover, the seamless construction minimizes the risk of failure or leakage, even in corrosive environments.

Industry Applications

Oil and Gas Pipelines

Expander flanges provide reliable, long-lasting connections for high-pressure oil and gas pipelines, handling variable flow rates and ensuring safe transitions.

Chemical Processing

These flanges seamlessly accommodate piping system changes, helping prevent leaks in chemical processing plants and ensuring smooth transitions for fluid and gas flow.

Power Generation Plants

In thermal and nuclear plants, expander flanges ensure reliable high-pressure connections between pipes of different sizes, optimizing heat exchange systems.

Refineries

Expander flanges are ideal for refinery systems, where fluid dynamics and pipe transitions require both strength and flexibility for long-term performance.

Water Treatment Facilities

Used for water distribution networks, they manage pressure transitions and help pflegen the structural integrity of the piping system.

Mining Operations

Expander flanges ensure smooth and safe transitions for slurry pipes, reducing the risk of corrosion and wear in mining and processing operations.

Cost-Effective Solution with High Durability

Reducing the cost of maintenance and downtime is crucial in manufacturing, where each delay can lead to significant losses. Our Expander Flanges (Weld Neck Type) feature a robust, one-piece construction that not only offers high-strength performance but also reduces the need for additional fittings and maintenance.

Whether you are managing pressure systems in industrial plants or ensuring safe water delivery, these flanges provide the reliability and durability required, ultimately lowering long-term operational costs.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

What pressure ratings can the Expander Flange handle?

The Expander Flange is available in pressure ratings from Class 150 to Class 2500 (PN10 to PN420), depending on the outlet flange size. This wide range ensures compatibility with various pipeline systems across industries. It offers the flexibility to meet both low and high-pressure demands.

Can the Expander Flange be used in corrosive environments?

Yes, our Expander Flanges are designed to withstand harsh environments. We offer a clad construction, combining a carbon steel body with stainless steel or Alloy 625 liners, which significantly improves corrosion resistance. This makes them suitable for chemical processing, oil, and gas applications.

How do I ensure the right flange size for my system?

The nominal size of the inlet ranges from ½” to 12″ (DN15 to DN300), while the outlet can be up to 24″ (DN600), with a maximum 4:1 expansion ratio. To determine the correct size, match the outlet flange size to the dimensions of your piping system. Our team can assist in selecting the right configuration based on your requirements.

What type of surface finish is available for these flanges?

Our Expander Flanges come with surface finishes of 125-250 μin RA for Raised Face (RF) and 63-125 μin RA for Ring-Type Joint (RTJ) on the outlet side. The bore is polished to 32 μin Ra, ensuring smooth operation and sealing performance. These finishes meet industry standards for both aesthetic and functional purposes.

Are the Expander Flanges customizable for specific applications?

Yes, our Expander Flanges can be customized to meet specific application needs, such as different material grades or coating options. We offer flexibility in material selection, including Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, and Alloy Steel. Additionally, we provide internal coatings like FBE for corrosion protection and Xylan for slurry service, ensuring the flange suits your unique operational requirements.
