Slip On Flange Manufacturer

What are Slip On Flange?

Slip On Flange, often abbreviated as SORF (Slip-On Raised Face), represent a pinnacle of practical engineering in the piping world. These flanges are meticulously designed to slide directly onto the exterior of a pipe's end, requiring no complex alignment or pre-beveling. Once positioned, they are reinforced with fillet welds on both the interior and exterior surfaces, forming a robust, self-reinforcing joint that distributes stress evenly and minimizes turbulence in fluid flow.

Crafted at Shribhairav Forge using advanced closed-die forging techniques, our slip on flanges begin as premium billets heated to precise temperatures (around 1100-1200°C for carbon steels), then shaped under immense pressure to achieve dense, defect-free microstructures. This process enhances tensile strength—typically 50-80 ksi depending on the grade—while maintaining elongation above 20% for ductility. The result? Flanges that endure cyclic loading, thermal expansion, and corrosive exposures without cracking or deforming.

Unlike threaded or socket weld options, slip on flanges excel in applications where accessibility trumps high-pressure demands, offering a bore diameter slightly larger than the pipe OD (by 1/8" to 1/4") for effortless assembly. Their lightweight profile (e.g., a 4" Class 150 SORF weighs just 3-5 lbs) reduces handling hazards and shipping costs, making them a favorite for retrofits and expansions. At Shribhairav, we go further: Every slip on flange undergoes mandatory heat treatment—normalizing or quenching and tempering—to refine grain structure, followed by CNC machining for razor-sharp bolt hole precision (±0.005" tolerance).

In essence, slip on flanges from Shribhairav Forge aren't mere connectors; they're engineered lifelines for your systems, blending affordability with aerospace-grade reliability. As industries evolve toward net-zero goals by 2030, our eco-conscious forging—using recycled alloys and low-emission presses—ensures your slip on flanges align with sustainable practices.

Materials and Grades of Slip On Flanges

Material selection is the heart of any slip on flange's performance, and at Shribhairav Forge, we source only prime materials from LME-registered suppliers. Our portfolio spans ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, optimized for corrosion resistance (PREN values up to 40+), weldability, and environmental resilience.

Stainless Steel Slip On Flange :

Forged to ASTM A182/A240 specs, these offer austenitic excellence for hygienic and corrosive duties:

Grades: ASTM A182 F304/F304L/F304H (general corrosion), ASTM A182 F316/F316L/F316Ti (Marine/Chloride), ASTM A182 F310/F310S (High-Temp Oxidation), ASTM A182 F321/F321H (Stabilization Against Sensitization), ASTM A182 F317 (Enhanced Mo), ASTM A182 F347/F347H (Nb-Stabilized), ASTM A182 F904L (Pitting resistance).

Duplex Stainless Steel Slip On Flanges manufactured by Shribhairav Forge: Primarily manufactured in grades ASTM A182 F51 / F60 (UNS S31803 / S32205), ASTM A182 F68 (UNS S32304), and ASTM A182 F70 (UNS S32101 – LDX 2101). These alloys consist roughly of 22% Chromium, 5–6% Nickel, 3% Molybdenum, and 0.15–0.20% Nitrogen, which together provide an excellent balance of high strength and corrosion resistance. Duplex 2205 (F51/F60) is the most widely used grade, offering twice the strength of 316L with improved resistance to pitting and stress corrosion cracking. Duplex 2304 (F68) has a lower nickel content, making it cost-effective for moderate chloride environments, while LDX 2101 (F70) serves as a lean duplex alternative with good formability and weldability.

Super Duplex Stainless Steel Slip On Flanges: include high-performance grades such as ASTM A182 F53 (UNS S32750), ASTM A182 F55 (UNS S32760 – Zeron 100), and ASTM A182 F61 (UNS S32550 – Ferralium 255 / UR52N+). These grades typically contain 25% Chromium, 7% Nickel, 3.5–4% Molybdenum, and 0.25% Nitrogen, offering exceptional resistance to localized corrosion in seawater and chemical processing environments. Super Duplex 2507 (F53) provides excellent mechanical properties and resistance to chloride-induced stress cracking, while Zeron 100 (F55) and Ferralium 255 (F61) are preferred for offshore, marine, and high-pressure systems due to their enhanced pitting resistance and higher tensile strength.

Both Duplex and Super Duplex Stainless Steel Slip On Flanges conform to standards such as ASTM A182 / ASME SA182 for forged Slip On Flanges, ASTM A240 / SA240 for plate Slip On Flanges, and ASTM A815 / SA815 for wrought fittings. These materials are widely used across Oil & Gas, Desalination, Petrochemical, Marine, and Power Generation industries.

Their microstructure of approximately equal parts ferrite and austenite ensures high yield strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and long service life, making them a preferred choice for critical applications where reliability under aggressive and high-pressure conditions is essential.
