Threaded Flanges

Threaded Flanges

This is referred to as either threaded or screwed. This is similar to a slip-on flange in outline, but the bore is threaded, thus enabling assembly without welding. This obviously limits its application to relatively low pressure piping systems. The flange may be welded around the joint after assembly, but this is not considered a satisfactory method of increasing its applications. Usually no welding is required.
