What is a lap joint flange (https://www.steeljrv.com/what-are-lap-joint-flanges.html)?

A Lap Joint Flange (https://www.steeljrv.com/products/flanges/lap-joint-flanges) (LJ flange/Loose flange) is


a two piece device that is much like a weld-neck flange but also like a loose slip on flange. One piece is a
sleeve called a ‘Stub-end” and is shaped like a short piece of pipe with a weld bevel on one end and a
narrow shoulder on the other end called the hub. The hub is the same outside diameter as the raised face
(gasket contact surface) of a weld neck flange (https://www.steeljrv.com/products/flanges/welding-neck-
flanges). The thickness of the hub is normally about ¼” to 3/8″. The back face of the hub has a rounded
transition (or inside fillet) that joins the hub to the sleeve. Lap joint pipe flanges slide directly over the pipe
and are most commonly used with stub end fittings. A pipe is usually welded to the Stub End and the Lap
Joint pipe flange is free to rotate around the stub end. The benefit of this is that there will not be any issues
with bolt hole alignment. Lap Joint pipe flanges are often used for applications that require frequent
dismantling. Select Language Send us a message

Pipe or Pipe Fitting (https://www.steeljrv.com/products/pipe-fittings)

The other piece of a Lap Joint Flange is the backing flange. This flange has all the same common
dimensions (O.D., bolt circle, bolt hole size, etc.) as any other flange however it does not have a raised
face. One side, the backside, has a slight shoulder that is square cut at the center or pipe hole. The front
side has flat face and at the center hole an outside fillet to match the fillet of the “Stub-end” piece. The
flange part of the Lap-joint flange assembly is slipped on to the stub-end prior to the sleeve being welded
to the adjoining pipe or fitting. The flange itself is not welded or fixed in any way. It is free to spin for proper
alignment with what ever it is joining to.
The “Stub-end” can normally be purchased in two lengths. There is a short version, about 3″ long and a
long version of about 6″ long. It is prudent for the piping designer to know which version is in the piping
specification.
Because of it’s two piece configuration, the Lap Joint Flange offers a way to cut cost or simplify work. The
cost saving comes when the piping system (https://www.steeljrv.com/customized-piping-
system.html) requires a high cost alloy for all “wetted” parts to reduce corrosion. The sleeve or Stub-end
can be the required higher cost alloy but the flange can be the lower cost forged carbon steel.
The lap joint flange can be rotated which can be useful when fixing issues with bolt hole alignment. When
designing a piping system, lap joint flanges should not be considered solely to alleviate poor alignment
during construction. Good design practice should not need to include poor construction quality. However, if
the piping needs to be frequently dismantled for inspection or cleaning, consideration should be made for
lap joint flanges. They give the ability to swivel flanges and to align bolt holes which simplifies the
assembly of large diameter or unusually stiff piping.
Lap joint flanges are usually used in low pressure applications and are not suitable when there are high
loads on the flange pair. Some types of piping require the use of lap joint flanges. For example, metallic
pipe that has been plastic lining may have lap joint flanges.

What are slip on flanges (https://www.steeljrv.com/what-are-slip-


on-flanges.html)?
Slip On flanges (https://www.steeljrv.com/products/flanges/slip-on-flanges) or SO flanges are
designed to slip over the outside of pipe, long-tangent elbows, reducers, and swages. The flange has poor
resistance to shock and vibration. It is easier to align than a weld neck flange. This flange is ideal for low
pressure applications since the strength when under internal pressure is about one third that of a weld
neck flange. This flange has a raised face. Slip On flanges or SO flanges are commonly lower in price than
weld-neck flanges, and to this effect are a popular choice for our customers. However, customers should
bear in mind that this initial cost saving may be diminished by the additional cost of the two fillet welds
required for proper installation. Moreover, weld-neck flanges have a higher life expentancy than slip-on
flanges under duress.
The slip on flange is positioned so the inserted end of the pipe or fitting is set short of the flange face by
the thickness of the pipe wall plus 1/8 of an inch, which thus allows for a fillet weld inside the SO flange
equal without doing any damage to the flange face. The back or outside of the slip-on flange or SO flange
is also welded with a fillet weld.

Slip-On flanges or SO flanges (https://www.yaang.com/slip-on-flanges-1.html) are commonly lower in price


than weld-neck flanges, and to this effect are a popular choice for our customers.

For many users, slip on flanges continue to be preferred to welding neck flanges because of the following
reasons:

On account of their initially lower cost.


The reduced accuracy needed in cutting the pipe to length.
The greater ease of alignment of the assembly.
The calculated strength of slip-on flanges under internal pressure is approximately two-thirds that of
welding neck flanges.

How to measure slip-on flanges?

Take the measurements of:

OD: Outside Diameter


ID: Inside Diameter
BC: Bolt Circle
HD: Hole diameter

Key Features:

Some important features are as follows:

The Lap Joint works as a backing ring on the stub.


The main advantage of lap joint flange is that the bolt holes can be aligned with the matching flange
after the welds have been completed.
They allow rotational alignment capability.
Because of the structure of a Lap joing flange, it can swivel around the stub end and pipe lining.
When the piping system is assembe and disassemble frequently, it is better to use a Lap joint
flange. It means the flange can work even the two flanges bolt holes are misalignment.
In a corrosive situation, the flange joints need to be exchange very soon. To a lap joint flange, only
the stub end is touch with the pipe and fluid, the backing flange no need to touch it . It means you
could only replace the stub end , no need to replace the backing flange, so the lap joint flange can
decrease the cost of the piping systems.
The backing flange and the stub end is seperated, so we can use two different materials for the two
pieces. It can work for more complicated application.

Disadvantages of lap Joint flanges:

Understand low pressure.


The strength of the weld ring is low (especially when the thickness is less than 3mm).
Loose flanges (https://www.steeljrv.com/products/flanges/lap-joint-flanges) are mainly used in
medium and low pressure applications. The precision requirements (dimensional accuracy,
tolerance requirements, roughness requirements, flatness requirements) during manufacturing are
not high, so the sealing requirements are not high.

Advantages of slip on flanges:

Low cost installation


Less time needed to spent on ensuring the accuracy of the cut pipe
They are somewhat easier to align Select LanguageSend us a message

When to use slip on flanges (https://www.steeljrv.com/when-to-use-slip-on-flanges.html)?

Slip-On (SO) Flanges are preferred by some contractors, over the Weld-neck, because of the lower initial
cost. However, this may be offset by the added cost of the two fillet welds required for proper installation.
The strength of the slip-on flange is ample for it’s rating, but its life under fatigue conditions is considered
to be only one-third that of the weld-neck flange.
The slip-on flange may be attached to the end of a piece of pipe or to one or more ends of a pipe fitting.
The slip-on flange is positioned so the inserted end of the pipe or fitting is set back or short of the flange
face by the thickness of the pipe wall plus 1/8 of an inch. This allows for a fillet weld inside the SO flange
equal to the thickness of the pipe wall without doing any damage to the flange face. The back or outside of
the flange is also welded with a fillet weld.
A variation of the Slip-On flange also exists. This is the Slip-On Reducing Flange. This is simply a larger
(say a 14″) Slip-On flange blank that, instead of the Center (pipe) hole being cut out (or drilled out) for 14″
pipe it is cut out for a 6″ (or some other size) pipe. The SO Reducing flange is basically used for reducing
the line size where space limitations will not allow the length of a weld neck flange and reducer
combination. The use of the Slip-On Reducing Flange should only be used where the flow direction is from
the smaller size into the larger size.

When to use lap joint flanges (https://www.steeljrv.com/when-to-use-lap-joint-flange.html)?

A Lap Joint Flange is a two piece device that is much like a weld-neck flange but also like a loose slip-on
flange. One piece is a sleeve called a ‘Stub-end” and is shaped like a short piece of pipe with a weld bevel
on one end and a narrow shoulder on the other end called the hub. The hub is the same outside diameter
as the raised face (gasket contact surface) of a weld neck flange. The thickness of the hub is normally
about ¼” to 3/8″. The back face of the hub has a rounded transition (or inside fillet) that joins the hub to the
sleeve.
The other piece of a Lap Joint Flange is the backing flange. This flange has all the same common
