Predominantly, the most common type of flange used in process plant applications is the Raised Face flange. These flanges are easily identified and could also be mentioned as an uplifted face flange by Raised Face Flange manufacturers. This is because the surfaces of the gasket in this flange are produced raised above the face of the bolting circle. For all steel flanges like machinery and valves that have been forged, this type of flange mask is commonly used. A wide combination of gasket designs can be used in conjunction with the Stainless Steel Raised Face Flange. These combinations could also include Flat ring sheets along with spiral wound and double jacketed type’s metallic components.
ASME B16.5 Raised Face Flange
Stainless Steel Raised Face Flange
Carbon Steel Raised Face Flange
Using an ANSI B16.5 Raised Face Flange ensures that more pressure has been concentrated on a smaller area of the gasket. Thus there is an increase noted in the joint’s pressure containment capacity. The Bolt holes used in these flanges are found in its outer ring region. The Move, when adjusted between the heights of the two rings aids in a greater application of force to the gasket region. Thereby creating a stronger seal in the instance of a gasket being attached followed by the bolts are mounted and torqued on the Carbon Steel Raised Face Flange. Depending on the pressure class, the raised face flange dimensions could be either 1/16″ or 1/4″ ANSI 300 and under could have a 1/16″ face raised, whereas class ANSI 400 and higher can have a 1/4″ face raised.
