What is a Threaded Flange?

A threaded Flange is used for special circumstances with their main advantage being that
they can be attached to the pipe without welding. Sometimes a seal weld is also used in
conjunction with the threaded connection. This special type of flange is generally used
for high pressure piping system, yet smaller diameter applications. Obviously, the larger
the flange is, the harder the ability to machine a thread would be.

Threaded Pipe Flanges Definition:

Threaded flange means the inner bore of a flange is thread, the shape of the threaded
flange is like a slip on flange, so the threaded flange could be plate shape or with a hub for
longer thread.

Threaded Flange Joint:

The threaded pipe flange is connected to a pipe with a external thread on the pipe end , so
the flange thread should have same thread specification with the pipe thread, the
advantage of a threaded flange is that the piping system would be easily to assembly
because there is no welding in this piping joint.

Sealing of a Threaded Flange:

The Threaded flanges are usually supplied with a raised face (RF) or flat face (FF) sealing
face. When a raised face is necessary for threaded pipe flanges, the standard height
should be 1/16″ for the face under class400, If the threaded pipe flanges is same or more
than class 400 , the standard threaded pipe flange raised face height should be 1/4″.

The threaded pipe flange commonly used in a small sizes and not very high pressure
situation. The threaded flange is no welding in the joint ,it means the flange could be used
for some situations which is not able to arrange a welding work.

Threaded Flanges, TH Flanges

Threaded flanges are widely demanded as pipe flanges i.e called as threaded pipe
flanges used in different industrial applications.

Threaded Flanges are also known as screwed flange, and it is having a thread inside the
flange bore which fits on the pipe with matching male thread on the pipe.

This type of joint connection is Speedy and simple but not suitable for high presser and
temperature applications. Threaded Flanges are mostly used in utility services such as air
and water.

Threaded (Screwed) flange is similar to the Slip-On flange, but the bore is threaded.
Its chief merit is that it can be assembled withour welding, explaining its use in low
pressure services at ordinary atmospheric temperatures, and in highly explosive
areas where welding create a hazard.

TYPES OF SCREWED FLANGES

The various types of threaded flanges are as follows:

USES OF THREADED FLANGES :

Threaded flanges are threaded in the bore which match an external thread on the
pipe. Threaded flanges are used with pipes that have external threads. The benefit of
these flanges is that it can be attached without welding.

 Threaded flanges can be fitted to pipes of various sizes without welding and
this is one chief benefit for which these flanges are highly demanded.
 They can be used in extremely high pressure applications, particularly at or
near atmospheric temperature, where the necessary post weld heat
treatment is not possible.
 They are ideal for small diameter piping applications.
 They are economical and time saving devices.
 These threaded flanges are normally designed for non-cyclic applications.
 The flanges are suitable to be used in applications where welding is
hazardous.
 They can be used in highly explosive areas.
