Raised Face Slip On Flange: A Versatile Option

Release time：2025-09-07    Click：57

　　One of the most popular flange types, the raised face slip on flange, offers versatility and easy installation. As the name suggests, this flange “slips on” to the pipe, and the raised face provides a small area for the gasket, helping to achieve a better seal. Here’s why they’re often used:

　　Improved Gasket Seating: The raised face design provides a small, raised surface for the gasket, helping to compress it effectively for a tighter seal.

　　Flexible Installation: Slip on flanges are relatively easy to install and align, making them a versatile choice for low to moderate-pressure systems.

　　Cost-Effective: Raised face slip on flanges are typically more affordable than other types, such as weld neck flanges, which makes them a popular choice for many pressure vessels.
