Lap Joint Flanges
What are Lap Joint Flanges?
Lap Joint Flanges are two-piece pipe connection components consisting of a flange and a stub end. The flange slides freely over the pipe and is positioned behind the stub end, which is welded to the pipe. This design allows for easy alignment and rotation of the flange, making it ideal for piping systems that require frequent disassembly or realignment.
Asiad Steel Industries is a leading manufacturer and exporter of high-quality Lap Joint Flanges in stainless steel, carbon steel, and special alloys for diverse industries worldwide.
