A Slip-On Flange (SO flange) is a cost-effective, easy-to-install component used to connect pipes, valves, and fittings in moderate-pressure systems.
Known for its simple welding process and alignment accuracy, the Flange Slip in Saudi is widely used in oil and gas, petrochemical, water, and power industries across Dammam, Jubail, Riyadh, and Jeddah.
These flanges are available in different pressure ratings and face types, offering strength, leak resistance, and easy assembly.
A Slip-On Flange slides directly over the pipe end before welding.
It is then fillet welded from both inside and outside, forming a strong connection that ensures leak-free performance.
This design offers a hub shorter than a weld neck flange, making it more compact and economical for low to medium-pressure applications.
The slip-on type is particularly useful when space is limited or frequent dismantling of the pipe joint is required.
Industries in Saudi Arabia demand reliable and efficient flanges that meet international pressure, temperature, and corrosion standards.
The Slip-On Flange delivers strength, precision, and affordability — making it one of the most preferred flanges for general industrial and marine pipelines.
Ease of Installation: Slides over the pipe for quick fit-up and alignment.
Dual Fillet Welds: Inside and outside welding for strength and tight sealing.
Compact Design: Saves space and weight compared to weld neck flanges.
Versatile Use: Suitable for low to moderate-pressure systems.
Variety of Materials: Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel.
Multiple Standards: Conforms to ASME, ANSI, API, and ISO dimensions.
Corrosion Resistant: Coated or polished to prevent rusting in harsh environments.
Custom Boring: Machined to fit various pipe diameters and wall thicknesses.
The Slip-On Flange is used where frequent inspection, assembly, or cleaning is needed.
It’s ideal for non-critical and moderate-pressure connections.
