Product Introduction
Loose flange, also known as lap joint or loose flange, consists of a flange ring and a short section. The structure is special, the flange ring can rotate, and the pipeline is not directly welded to avoid flange deformation. Flexible installation, directly slide onto the pipeline, and weld for reinforcement.
It is mainly used for facilitating pipeline installation, disassembly or adjustment, while reducing welding stress between flanges and pipelines, and is suitable for pipeline systems that require frequent maintenance or adjustment.
We offer a full range of stainless steel, duplex, and flange in various sizes to meet different standards.

What is the difference between lap flanges and sliding flanges?
The difference between lap flanges and sliding flanges lies in their design and function. A lap flange consists of two parts: a short end welded to the pipe, and a loose backing flange around which it can rotate freely.
In contrast, a sliding flange is a one-piece assembly that slides onto the pipe and is welded into place, providing a simpler and more cost-effective connection. Sliding flanges are typically used in low-pressure applications where frequent disassembly is not required.
What are the advantages of lap flanges?
The difference between a swivel flange and a lap flange is that a swivel flange consists of two separate components: a swivel ring flange and a welded hub or collar that connects to the pipe.
The lap flange also has two parts, but it uses a short end instead of a welded hub, and its backing flange is loose rather than fully rotating like a swivel flange.
What is the difference between lap flanges and varnish flanges?
The difference between lap flanges and varnish flanges lies in their manufacturing and sealing methods.
When should I not use lap flanges?
Lap flanges are not recommended for high-pressure applications because the design cannot provide the same strength or sealing integrity as other flanges, such as welded or sliding flanges, in high-pressure environments.
In applications with severe vibration or significant movement (e.g., in mechanical or dynamic systems), lap flanges may not provide the necessary sealing integrity or stability, as a loose flange may move or vibrate under severe conditions.
