  • Plate Flange (PL) – Flat face, full bore, one-piece forged

    plate flange (PL flange, flat flange) is a flat, circular forging with a central bore and a ring of bolt holes. Slip it over the pipe, weld both sides, and the line is sealed—no hub, no neck, just a flat flange that keeps installation simple and costs low.
    Note: A plate flange has a bore and connects pipes; a blind flange (BL) has no bore and blocks flow—choose PL for connection, BL for isolation.

    Flat face – even gasket compression, no hub to pre-heat

    Cost-effective – 20–30% lighter than weld-neck, same bolt circle

    Site-friendly – slips on both sides, aligns fast in tight racks
