Frequently asked questions about Lap-joint (loose) flange
When to use a lap-joint flange?
When flanges are opened or aligned often, or to save costly stainless steel: only the stub end is of the pipe material, the loose flange can be cheaper steel.
Which standards apply?
EN 1092-1 Type 02 (loose flange) with stub end Type 35/36; in ASME the lap-joint flange with stub end.
Does the loose flange rotate?
Yes, it sits loose on the stub end and turns freely to align the bolt holes.
Request Lap-joint (loose) flange?
Type, size, pressure rating, sealing face and material are enough – we supply the right flange, on request with an EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 mill certificate.
All data are typical values per EN 1092-1 / DIN / ASME for first orientation – without warranty. Please ask for the availability of individual sizes and pressure ratings. The applicable standard and the order confirmation are decisive.
