Detailed Introduction

 

Slip-On Flange for Easy Installation and Reliable Pipe Connections

A slip-on flange, also known as an SO flange, is a widely used pipe flange designed to slide over the outside diameter of a pipe before being welded in position. Compared with weld neck flanges, slip-on flanges offer easier installation, lower fabrication costs, and excellent performance for low to medium-pressure piping systems.

DTC manufactures and supplies carbon steel slip-on flanges, stainless steel slip-on flanges, and alloy steel slip-on flanges according to international standards including ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1, and JIS B2220.

With strong supply chain integration and OEM customization capability, DTC provides reliable flange solutions for distributors, contractors, and industrial projects worldwide.


Key Features of Slip-On Flange

Easy Installation

The flange slides over the pipe and is welded both internally and externally, making alignment easier during installation.

Cost-Effective Solution

Compared with weld neck flanges, slip-on flanges require less machining and welding preparation, reducing overall fabrication costs.

Wide Application Range

Suitable for general industrial piping systems where extreme pressure, temperature, or cyclic loading is not required.

Custom Manufacturing Capability

Available in different materials, dimensions, pressure classes, and facing types according to customer requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a slip-on flange?

A slip-on flange is a type of flange that slides over the pipe and is welded internally and externally to create a connection.

What is the difference between slip-on flange and weld neck flange?

Slip-on flanges are easier and cheaper to install, while weld neck flanges provide better strength and fatigue resistance for high-pressure applications.

Can slip-on flanges be used for fire protection systems?

Yes. Carbon steel slip-on flanges are widely used in fire sprinkler and hydrant pipeline systems.

What standards do DTC slip-on flanges follow?

DTC supplies slip-on flanges according to ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1, JIS B2220, and customer-specific requirements.
