Jayshree Industrial Corporation is a prominent manufacturer, stockist, and supplier of a wide range of industrial flanges and pipe fittings based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Flanges are piping components used to connect pipes, valves, pumps, and other equipment, facilitating easier cleaning, inspection, or modification. Key types include Weld Neck, Slip-On, Socket Weld, Lap Joint, Threaded, and Blind flanges, categorized by their connection method, pressure capacity, and design. Common Types of Flanges (ASME B16.5) Weld Neck Flange (WN): Features a long tapered hub, ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature applications due to its superior strength and resistance to turbulence. Slip-On Flange (SO): Slides over the pipe and is fillet-welded, commonly used for lower-pressure, cost-effective applications. Socket Weld Flange (SW): Designed for small-diameter, high-pressure piping, where the pipe is inserted and fillet-welded. Blind Flange (BL): A solid disc used to seal or block the end of a piping system, valve, or pressure vessel opening. Lap Joint Flange (LJ): Used with a stub end, this flange 'floats' around the pipe, making it ideal for systems requiring frequent dismantling or alignment. Threaded Flange (TR): Connects to pipes with threads, allowing installation without welding, often used for utility services. Specialty Flanges Orifice Flange: Used in conjunction with orifice meters to measure flow rate. Reducing Flange: Used to connect pipes of different diameters. Long Weld Neck (LWN): A weld neck with a long, reinforced neck, typically used for vessels. Spectacle Blind: A safety device allowing for easy isolation of a pipe section. Expander Flange: A hubbed flange that increases the pipe size. Classification Factors Material Grade: Stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, or special alloys like Duplex. Face Type: Raised Face (RF), Flat Face (FF), Ring Type Joint (RTJ), or Tongue & Groove. Pressure Class: Ranging from 150# to 2500# for ASME standards.
