Frequently Asked Questions

A reducing flange is a type of flange designed to connect pipes of different diameters. It features a flange face with a smaller diameter on one side and a larger diameter on the other, allowing for a transition between pipes of different sizes. Reducing flanges are used to accommodate changes in pipe dimensions while providing a secure and reliable connection.

Reducing flanges are available in a range of sizes to match different pipe diameters and flange standards. Standard sizes cover a wide range of diameters, and custom sizes and specifications can be manufactured to meet specific needs.

Reducing flanges are installed by aligning the flange with the pipes to be connected. The smaller and larger diameters of the flange must be properly matched with the corresponding pipe sizes. The flange is then bolted into place using bolts and a gasket to ensure a leak-proof seal. Proper alignment and tightening are crucial for a secure connection.

Yes, we offer custom manufacturing solutions for reducing flanges to meet specific requirements. Please contact us with your detailed specifications, and we will work with you to produce flanges tailored to your needs.

The lead time for reducing flanges depends on the complexity and volume of the order. After reviewing your specifications, we will provide an estimated lead time. We are committed to delivering all projects on schedule while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Yes, reducing flanges can be used for both liquid and gas applications, provided they are made from appropriate materials and installed correctly to handle the specific conditions of the system, including pressure and temperature.

Reducing flanges are made from various materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and other metals. The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as the type of fluid or gas, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions.

Reducing flanges are used in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, and construction. They are essential for connecting pipes of different sizes, allowing for smooth transitions and maintaining the integrity of the piping system.
