What is a Flat Face Flange?

A flat face flange is a type of flange used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment to form a piping system. It features a flat surface that mates with a similar flat surface on another flange. This design is useful for installations where bolt alignment is crucial, such as in flammable or hazardous service conditions where a full face gasket is required. The simplicity of its design facilitates easier alignment and spreading of compression across the gasket surface, making it an ideal choice for certain applications.

Applications

Flat face flanges are used in various industries due to their unique design, which makes them ideal for applications requiring a flush sealing surface. Commonly used in water and sewage processing, these flanges also play a crucial role in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage sectors. Their ability to maintain a leak-proof seal in systems that handle low-pressure and non-hazardous materials makes them indispensable in settings where contamination must be strictly controlled.
