When a threaded flange makes sense

A threaded flange has a taper pipe thread cut into its bore. It screws onto a threaded pipe end, so the joint needs no welding. That keeps the zinc coating on galvanized pipe intact, and it allows flanged connections in areas where welding is not permitted.

Threaded joints are made for low to moderate pressure at ordinary temperatures. Under high temperature, vibration or bending loads, threads can loosen and leak. Some specifications allow a seal weld over the thread for extra security.

NPT or BSP: get the thread right

NPT and BSP threads look similar but do not seal together. Mixing them leaves a leak path even when the joint feels tight.

Indian GI pipes are normally threaded BSP to IS 554, so a BSP-threaded flange is the usual match. Read our GI pipe guide for IS 1239 sizes and classes.

Assembly tips

  1. Check that the pipe thread and flange thread are the same type and size.
  2. Use a thread sealant or PTFE tape suited to the fluid and temperature.
  3. Screw the flange on and tighten until the bolt holes line up with the mating flange; do not back it off to align holes.
  4. Bolt the flanges evenly in a cross pattern.

Where not to use threaded flanges

Avoid threaded flanges on high-temperature lines, lines with vibration or large bending loads, and hazardous fluids unless your specification allows them, usually with a seal weld. For those services, use socket weld or weld neck flanges.

Where threaded flanges are used

  • Galvanized water supply and plumbing lines
  • Fire-fighting sprinkler and hydrant branches
  • Compressed air and low-pressure gas lines
  • Plants and areas where hot work permits are hard to get
  • Small pump and equipment connections

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A threaded flange, also called a screwed flange, has a taper pipe thread in its bore and screws onto a threaded pipe end, so no welding is needed.

NPT threads have a 60° angle and follow ASME B1.20.1; BSP taper threads have a 55° angle and follow ISO 7-1 or IS 554. They are not interchangeable. Indian GI pipes are usually BSP.

Yes. A galvanized, BSP-threaded flange is the usual way to make a flanged joint on IS 1239 GI pipe without damaging the zinc coating by welding.

It depends on the class or table, material, size and temperature, but threaded joints are generally limited to low and moderate pressure at ordinary temperatures. Follow your piping specification.

A seal weld is a small fillet weld over the thread engagement that seals the joint. It is used where a threaded flange is allowed but extra leak-tightness is needed.

Commonly ½" to 4", and up to 6" on request, in MS, galvanized, A105 and stainless steel.
