Lap Joint Flanges
Riyaarth Overseas is a leading manufacturer and exporter of high-quality ASME/ANSI/DIN standard lap joint (LJ) flanges. We specialize in providing rapid delivery programs for carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloy, and alloy steel lap joint flanges. Our lap joint flanges are widely used in various industrial applications and are designed to meet stringent international standards.
Lap joint flanges are similar to other industrial flanges, but they are primarily used in conjunction with a “Lap Joint Stub End.” These flanges are perfect for applications where frequent dismantling for inspection and cleaning is required. Since the lap joint flange slips over the pipe, it is not welded or secured directly to it. Instead, the flange’s pressure is transferred to the gasket by the flange pressing against the back of the pipe lap (Stub End).
Key Benefits of Lap Joint Flanges:
- Swiveling Ability: Facilitates alignment of opposing flange bolt holes.
- Cost-Effective: Inexpensive carbon steel flanges can be used with corrosion-resistant pipes, reducing material costs.
- Reusability: Flanges can be salvaged for reuse in systems prone to erosion or corrosion.

FAQ's
Lap joint flanges provide flexibility by allowing the flange to rotate around the pipe for easy alignment, and they are ideal for systems requiring frequent dismantling.
While lap joint flanges are typically used in lower-pressure applications due to their lower weight-holding capacity, they are excellent for systems requiring regular maintenance or inspection.
The lap joint flange is used in conjunction with a stub end. The flange itself is not welded to the pipe; instead, it slides over the pipe and is bolted in place with the help of the stub end, transferring pressure to the gasket.
