The inner diameter of the tube is the same as that of the flange, this characteristic provides a practically constant section duct, with no possibility of producing turbulence in the gases or liquids that circulate through it. The long neck and the smooth transition of the thickness of the same, give this type of flanges, characteristics of strength suitable in sectors of pipes subjected to bending stresses, the product of the expansions in line. SLIP-ON Flanges

In this type of flanges, the tube penetrates the hub of the same without reaching the plane of the contact face, to which it is joined using internally and externally weld seams. It can be considered as simpler than the neck flange, due to the lower precision of the tube length and greater ease of alignment.

Blind Flanges They are intended to close pipe ends, valves, or container openings, subject to various working pressures. From the technical point of view, this type of A234 WP91 flange is the
