A Slip On Flange (SO Flange) is a type of forged flange that is slipped over the pipe and then welded both from the inside and outside to ensure a secure, leak-proof connection. Unlike weld neck flanges which have a long tapered hub, slip on flanges have a flat face with a slightly larger bore than the pipe's outer diameter, allowing it to slip over the pipe easily.
This type of flange is ideal for low to moderate pressure and temperature applications. The double weld (ID and OD) provides sufficient strength for non-critical services. It's widely used in industries such as chemical processing, water supply, oil & gas, shipbuilding, and fire protection systems where frequent dismantling is not required.
Slip On Flanges are often preferred because of their ease of alignment, cost-effectiveness, and simpler installation compared to other flanges. They are available with Raised Face (SORF) or Flat Face (SOFF) options, and are manufactured to international standards like ASME B16.5, EN 1092-1, DIN, and JIS.
Slip On Flanges offer several practical and cost-effective advantages, especially in non-critical piping systems. Here's why they are widely preferred:
Slip On Flanges are easier to align and weld compared to Weld Neck or Socket Weld Flanges. Since the flange simply "slips" over the pipe, it allows more flexibility in alignment during installation.
These flanges are less expensive both in terms of material and labor. The shorter hub and minimal welding requirements reduce fabrication costs, making them ideal for budget-sensitive projects.
They are welded both on the inside and outside, offering good sealing and structural integrity, especially for systems operating under low to moderate pressure.
Slip On Flanges are best suited for systems where pressure and temperature fluctuations are minimal, such as in cooling water lines, firefighting systems, HVAC, and water pipelines.
Available in both Flat Face (FF) and Raised Face (RF) options, as well as in SORF and SOFF variants — giving engineers flexibility based on sealing surface requirements.
In summary, Slip On Flanges are a cost-effective, easy-to-install, and technically sound solution for piping systems that don’t require the high-performance capabilities of Weld Neck or RTJ flanges.
While both Slip On and Weld Neck Flanges are used to connect pipes, their design and application differ significantly. A Slip On Flange has a flat surface and a bore slightly larger than the pipe’s outer diameter, allowing it to slip over the pipe and be welded from both sides. It has a shorter hub and is easier to install, making it suitable for low-pressure and low-temperature systems.
On the other hand, a Weld Neck Flange features a long tapered hub that provides gradual stress transfer between the pipe and flange, reducing the risk of fatigue. It is butt-welded to the pipe and is primarily used in high-pressure, high-temperature, and critical service environments such as refineries, power plants, and offshore platforms.
Slip On Flanges are most commonly used in non-critical and general-purpose piping systems where frequent disassembly is not required and operating pressures are relatively low. Their popularity comes from the fact that they are easy to align, require less precise pipe cutting, and reduce fabrication time — making them ideal for industries focused on cost-efficiency and moderate operating conditions.
Typical applications include:
This balance of cost, ease of use, and functional reliability makes Slip On Flanges a smart choice for many industrial systems that don’t demand high pressure or thermal endurance.
Welding plays a crucial role in ensuring the mechanical integrity and leak-tight performance of Slip On Flanges. Unlike flanges that rely on butt welding (like Weld Neck), Slip On Flanges are attached by performing fillet welds on both the inside and outside of the flange. This dual weld configuration helps anchor the flange securely while providing moderate resistance to internal pressure and vibration.
However, because the weld is not as deep or robust as a full penetration butt weld, Slip On Flanges are not recommended for critical or high-pressure services. The welding process also introduces slight thermal stresses at the joint, which is manageable in low-to-medium pressure systems.
Proper welding ensures that:
We ensure fast, reliable delivery with full documentation for these markets, guaranteeing timely service and high-quality products.
Yes, Slip On Flanges are compatible with both seamless and welded pipes, offering design flexibility across various piping systems. Their slip-over design allows them to fit over the pipe's outer diameter regardless of the pipe manufacturing method.
The key factor is ensuring proper pipe end preparation (square-cut) and welding from both sides to maintain structural integrity and leak resistance, regardless of pipe type.
