Ameraseal ANSI/ASME B16.5 Raised Face Flanges

Description

Ameraseal supplies quality ANSI Flanges in Carbon Steel and 316 Stainless Steel options.

All flanges listed are Raised Face style and 150# Pressure Class.

• Threaded – Threaded flanges are a type of pipe fitting that connects to a pipe using screw threads instead of welding. The flange has a hole in the center with internal threads, which fits onto a pipe that has matching  threads. This allows for a tight and secure connection without the need for welding equipment or high-heat processes.

  These flanges are especially useful in environments where welding is not safe or practical, such as areas with flammable gases or liquids. Threaded flanges also make maintenance easier, as they can be removed and reattached without damaging the pipe.

• Slip-on -A slip-on flange is a type of pipe flange designed to slide over the end of a pipe. Its slightly larger inner diameter allows it to easily fit before being welded in place on both the inside and outside edges.

  These flanges are used in low to moderate pressure systems and are valued for their cost-effectiveness, quick turnaround, and easy installation. They don’t require precise pipe cutting or a weld bevel, offering more flexibility during setup.

• Blind -Blinds are flanges without a center bore (hole or opening). They are used to seal the end of a piping system and prevent flow. Blind flanges may be used when testing pipe pressure, to create an access point in a piping system, to temporarily seal a piping system while modifying or repairing the line, or to create a long-term seal to terminate a piping system.

  A blind flange is bolted, rather than welded in place. This allows easier access as needed for pipe system upkeep, inspection, or to allow for future expansion. Pairing with a gasket creates a tight seal: The gasket fills the space between the flange faces, which prevents liquid or gas leaks.
