FORGED REDUCING FLANGE

Western of Texas Forge & Flange, which specializes in forging and flange manufacturing, our forged reducing flanges are crafted with precision to meet industry standards, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. Our reducing flanges are a specialized component used in piping systems to connect pipes of different diameters.

Features of a Forged Reducing Flange

Strength and Durability

The forging process aligns the grain structure of the metal, providing enhanced mechanical properties such as improved strength, impact resistance, and fatigue resistance.

Size Reduction

The flange has a larger diameter on one side and a smaller diameter on the other, enabling it to join pipes of varying sizes seamlessly.

Leak Prevention

Designed with high precision, forged reducing flanges ensure tight connections and minimize the risk of leaks.

Material Options

WOT can forge the flange in carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, depending on the specific application and environmental conditions.

Uses of a Forged Reducing Flange

Connecting Pipes of Different Sizes

These flanges are commonly used in pipelines to transition between different pipe sizes, helping maintain consistent flow rates.

Pressure Management

Used in systems where changes in pipe diameter help regulate pressure or flow.

Applications in Critical Industries

• Oil and Gas: Facilitates connections in pipelines transporting crude oil, natural gas, or refined products.
• Chemical Processing: Ensures safe transport of reactive or corrosive chemicals.
• Power Generation: Supports high-pressure steam or fluid pipelines in power plants.
• Water Treatment: Used in systems managing water flow between different pipe sizes.
• Ring Type Joint (RTJ) flanges are used to create a leak-free seal between pipes, in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

With our tenure and experience in forging manufacturing process, Western of Texas Forge & Flange ensures that its reducing flanges meet the rigorous demands of industrial applications, offering superior quality, reliability, and longevity.
