Plate flange drawing: flat flange with no hub, welded inside and outside to the pipe
A plate flange is a flat slip-on flange with no hub.

The simplest, lowest-cost flange

A plate flange is a flat steel ring with a bore for the pipe and a ring of bolt holes. It slides over the pipe and is fillet-welded on the back and inside the face. Without a hub, it uses less steel and machining than any other flange, which is why it is the everyday MS flange on water, air and fabrication work.

Plate flanges are made in standard drillings such as Table E, IS 6392 and ASA 150, and can also be profile-cut and drilled to your drawing for ducting, blowers, tanks and machinery.

Plate flanges made to your drawing

Many fabrication jobs need flanges that are not in any table: blower and fan outlets, ducting, chimney sections, tank manholes, machine mounting rings. Send a drawing or sketch with outside diameter, inside diameter, PCD, number and size of holes, thickness and material. We will confirm the price and lead time. For repeat jobs, keep the drawing number on the order so every batch matches.

Do not thin the flange

A plate flange that is thinner than its table calls for will bend when bolted, and the gasket will leak. If you are replacing an old flange, measure its thickness as well as its OD and PCD. For pressure lines, use the thickness given by the drilling table or PN rating.

Where plate flanges are used

  • Water supply, pumping and irrigation lines
  • Fire hydrant and sprinkler mains
  • Compressed air and vacuum lines
  • Ventilation, ducting, blower and exhaust connections
  • Tank nozzles and general fabrication

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A plate flange is a flat, hub-less flange cut from steel plate. It slides over the pipe and is welded on both sides. It is the most economical flange type and is used for low-pressure lines.

A plate flange is a type of slip-on flange without a hub. ASME B16.5 slip-on flanges have a short forged hub; plate flanges do not.

Most Table E flanges sold in India are plate flanges drilled to Table E of the old BS 10 standard. Hubbed and blind versions are also available.

Yes. Send a drawing with OD, ID, PCD, hole count and size, thickness and material, and we will quote the price and lead time.

It depends on the drilling table or PN rating, thickness and material. Plate flanges are intended for low-pressure service; for higher pressure use forged flanges.

Yes, MS plate flanges can be hot-dip galvanized for water and outdoor lines.
