Supplier of Expander Flange | ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.47 Series A & B, B16.48

An Expander Flange ais a type of flange used to connect pipes or other components of different diameters. It is designed with a tapered bore that gradually increases in size, allowing for the seamless connection of smaller diameter pipes to larger ones. Expander flanges are commonly used in piping systems where there is a need to transition between different pipe sizes, ensuring a secure and leak-proof joint. They can be customized to meet specific project requirements, including pressure ratings, materials, and dimensions, making them a versatile and reliable solution for many piping applications.
