The difference between stainless steel slip-on flanges and butt-welding flanges

Stainless steel slip-on flanges and butt-welding flanges are two common forms of pipe connection flanges, and there are some differences in the following aspects:
1. Connection method: Stainless steel slip-on flange is connected by welding the flange to the pipe, usually by butt welding to connect the flange and the pipe. Butt-welding flange is connected by aligning the holes drilled on the T-shaped profile with the pipe and using bolts to connect, so as to realize the connection between the flange and the pipe.
2. Structural form: Stainless steel slip-on flanges have planes on both sides of the flange, so the connection surface corresponding to the pipe also needs to be flat welded. The connection surface of butt-welding flange is usually a combination of plane and inclined plane.
3. Reliability: Butt-welding flanges are bolted and have good dismountability, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. Stainless steel slip-on flanges are connected by welding, the connection is more firm, and usually has high sealing performance and strength.
4. Usage scenarios: Stainless steel slip-on flanges are suitable for occasions where the strength and sealing performance of the connection are high, such as high pressure, high temperature and corrosive media environments. Butt-welding flanges are suitable for general industrial pipe connections and are often used in low pressure, low temperature and non-corrosive media applications.
It should be noted that the choice of which flange form to use should be based on a comprehensive consideration of the specific application requirements, working environment, and pipe system requirements, and should follow applicable standards and specifications. When purchasing and installing, you should communicate and consult with professional suppliers or engineers to ensure that you choose the appropriate flange connection form.
