6 INCH M S FLANGE

An MS flange made of mild steel MS is a discshaped component with a rim for connecting pipes to each other or to other equipment like valves They are categorized into various types including weld neck slipon blind and threaded flanges used in industries for applications such as power generation and oil and gas due to their strength and versatility 

What is an MS Flange

Material

MS flange stands for Mild Steel flange 

Function

Its a component with a rim or plate that helps connect pipes valves and other equipment in a piping system 

Common Types of MS Flanges

Weld Neck Flanges

Have a long tapered hub and are welded to the pipe providing strength in highpressure and hightemperature applications 

SlipOn Flanges

Are slipped over the pipes end and then welded They are easier to install than weld neck flanges and are suited for lowpressure uses 

Blind Flanges

Are solid circular plates used to close off the end of a pipe or vessel often for future access 

Socket Weld Flanges

Feature a recess where the pipe is inserted before welding used in highpressure smalldiameter systems 

Threaded Flanges

Have internal threads that screw onto the external threads of a pipe useful when welding is not feasible 

Lap Joint Flanges

Used with stub ends these flanges require frequent disassembly and are easy to install and align 

Applications

Power Generation

Used in thermal and nuclear power plants for connecting components in cooling systems and steam lines 

Oil and Gas Industry

Found in various applications within this sector 

General Industrial Applications

Widely used for connecting pipes valves and other equipment
