ASME/ANSI B16.5, B16.47 Weld Neck Flange, LWN Flange, WN Flange Supplier

Raised Face (RF) Flanges are among the most widely used flange types in industrial piping systems due to their superior sealing capability and reliable performance. These flanges feature a raised sealing surface above the bolt circle, which allows the gasket to be compressed effectively when the flange assembly is tightened. This design creates a secure, leak-resistant connection, making Raised Face Flanges ideal for applications involving high pressure, elevated temperatures, and critical process conditions. RF Flanges are extensively used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation, chemical processing, refineries, and water treatment facilities

The raised sealing surface helps concentrate gasket pressure within a smaller area, improving sealing efficiency and reducing the possibility of leakage. Raised Face Flanges are manufactured in various material grades including Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Duplex Steel, and other specialty alloys to suit different operating environments. Their robust construction, excellent strength, and corrosion resistance make them suitable for both standard and demanding industrial applications.

Arrow Piping Solutions is a trusted manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of premium-quality Raised Face Flanges manufactured according to international standards such as ASME B16.47 and ANSI B16.5. Our RF Flanges are available in a wide range of sizes, pressure classes, and material grades to meet the diverse needs of industrial projects. Manufactured using advanced technology and subjected to stringent quality control procedures, our products ensure superior performance, dimensional accuracy, and long service life.

Raised face flanges provide a better sealing surface, reducing the risk of leaks under pressure. They are ideal for high-pressure systems, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.

Can raised face flanges be customized?

+

Yes, raised face flanges can be customized in terms of size, material, pressure rating, and gasket dimensions to meet specific project requirements.

What is the difference between a raised face and a flat face flange?

+

A raised face flange has a raised portion around the sealing surface, which helps create a better seal compared to a flat face flange that has no raised portion. Raised face flanges are typically used in higher pressure systems.
